The letter is at 1000 signatures.

I'm blown away by the support for trans people within Minnesota as we push our party to Do Better. I refuse to let this be quietly pushed down and hidden in the name of "unity" or "civility." I am not making myself smaller to appease a transphobic few.

Anyone have information/photos of the flood this morning on 5th ave and 7th st SE? Curious what happened or if this is a recurring issue.

I am incredibly honored to be the DFL endorsed candidate for Minneapolis Mayor. This endorsement is a message that Minneapolis residents are done with broken promises, vetoes, and politics as usual. It’s a mandate to build a city that works for all of us. fatehformayor.com/donate

Rolling out of Minnesota towards Pittsburgh on the Amtrak. Is this what it feels like to be a taconite pellet?

My research with the SEA Lab on wave-powered aquaculture farm siting has been published in Renewable Energy! Our analysis found several trends, including decreasing costs in areas with better wave activity far from shore, and the importance of identifying conflicts with existing ocean activities.

The free lead test kits from @cityminneapolis.bsky.social are a great service even if they take awhile to come back. The test for my apartment in Southeast came back undetectable, or less than 1ppm.

My main takeaway from today’s City Council meeting is disappointment in my councillor’s inability to understand Robert’s Rules.

The Act 10 protests in 2011 were my introduction to political organizing. So while the national outlook may be bleak at the moment, wins like this and others in Wisconsin give me hope.

Just a typical afternoon admiring the new bike lanes on Hennepin and Central.

Today, after a long fight, Uber and Lyft driver pay raises go into effect. I am proud to have led the fight against corporate lobbyists and for the workers of Minnesota!

Though stubbornly contemporary, Shorting the Grid is perhaps the most accessible explanation of energy markets I’ve seen.

“The grid is becoming more single-fuel, more vulnerable, and more expensive. Insiders make the rules… the public cannot participate in a meaningful way.”

Bryce misses basically every problem with naming a fossil fuel executive to be secretary of energy (e.g. climate change). But sure, maybe the engineers needed a win.

My landlord unfortunately fixed our most recent maintenace issue before I could take him to court. Anyone have suggestions for good code violations to get them on?

COP 29 is the most recent example of climate debt being passed off as generosity, but I’ve seen it at the local level too in my work with home energy upgrades. If the only way to justify funding is an ROI, it’s probably not sustainable, financially or environmentally.

Cycling is 10 times more important than electric cars for reaching net-zero cities and 100 times more fun.

Active travel can help tackle the climate crisis earlier than electric vehicles – even if you swap the car for a bike for just one trip a day.

Recently wrapped up my job search (hooray!), but the stats are bleak: of over 100 applications or emails, 5% led to informational interviews, 6% to formal interviews, and 3% to offers. 42% provided zero response.

It’s a beautiful start to the biking season here in Minnesota. ❄️

Autumnal reminder that despite what packaging implies, the majority of canned pumpkin sold in U.S. supermarkets is not the familiar round orange carving pumpkin (Cucurbita pepo). Rather, it's Dickinson pumpkin, a large, oblong, beige cultivar of C. moschata, which has much better flavor and texture

Great article on wave energy and the key role of local engagement.

“It took years of outreach…to cement their trust with the community. When they assembled…fleet members to decide the site, it took all of 10 minutes for the crabbers to draw…a location that could work for everyone.”

This seaside town will power thousands of homes with waves
A test site off the Oregon coast could be key to unlocking wave power in the United States. Surprisingly, residents aren’t opposed.

Could be a great alternative to impact assessments: cabinet members drink the byproducts of their proposals for a year and, if they make it, it's fair game. Particularly looking forward to their policies regarding feedlot waste management and abandoned uranium mine cleanup.
