As a former welder (different trade now but still weld sometimes) from Minnesota, this Amber Czech thing is really getting to me... especially since I used to go out of my way to encourage other women to get into the trades.
Fucking awful.
Fucking awful.

Holy shit the last bit of the green line is a nightmare, I should have left myself way more of a cushion. Currently 20 minutes over the Google Maps estimate.

In case anyone else was wondering, an unopened bottle of champagne is good for 3-4 years.

Great day at the fair yesterday. Had fun with a friend I don't see in person enough. A stranger gave me a coupon for deep fried cheesecake. And, best of all, we got to watch a calf being born, AND the front row of spectators get splashed. Truly a high point of my life.

Queer relationship problems: our combined nail polish collection has escaped containment. Had to buy stacking drawer units to try and get it into some semblance of order.

Trying to come up with a comprehensive list of Trump's abuses of power. Not things that are merely bad but within the realm of normal politics in a democracy--fundamental abuses of power.
I know I'm missing stuff. Let me know what.

Phew, nothing like carrying your elderly 65lb dog down the stairs *and* trying to round up cats. Luckily all that crud blew over us quickly.

It's so dry here in Minneapolis that I might have to break down and water my established native plants.

What a handy resource for finding shitheads!
NEW: PublicSquare, a website that lets you search for businesses in your community that explicitly want you to know they endorse Trump/MAGA values, is backfiring as people use it to boycott those businesses. www.huffpost.com/entry/public...
Website For MAGA-Friendly Businesses Backfires As People Use It For Boycotts
Social media posts about PublicSquare have gone viral as Trump critics use it to find companies not to support – the opposite of what the site was set up for.

So, I got one of those old Star Tribune newspaper boxes to convert to a Little Free Library! Going to make a thread about it and update as I go, so that anyone thinking about doing the same thing can see exactly what they're getting into.
Yes they are only $20, and they will even deliver it.

I don't think this chart is proving the thing that all the commenters think it's proving.
No shit most people don't want to work in a factory. I don't want to either. I briefly worked on an assembly line and it was a terrible fit.
There are a lot of other jobs I'd rather not do.

Before and after on last fall's backyard trash cat. What we thought was a mostly-grown short-haired cat turned out to be a 5 month old long-haired kitten.
This is what I get for being a sucker. Tried 3 brushes and 2 combs so far. Some of them kind of help.
At least he grew into those whiskers.

Minnesotans: yesterday I had a conversation with some relatives who are generally very well-informed, but had no idea that Klobuchar has voted for 7 of Trump's cabinet nominees. ballotpedia.org/How_senators... (this source is from March and doesn't include the 2 recent ambassadorial appointments).

So I went to my ward 12 caucus tonight and it sounds like it was wildly different from other caucuses?? My precinct delegates never mentioned specific candidates for mayor or CM. Possibly because there were usually about the same number of nominees and positions? Holy shit why is this so confusing

I honestly believe that anyone trying to do a postmortem on why Harris lost in 2024 is wasting their time. It was the right wing media. ~50% of the population lives in a different reality. "She didn't campaign right" they twisted everything. 1/

This and the comments underneath are so true. Especially the stuff about Many Waters. *That* brought back some memories.
Wrinkle in Time casts a much longer shadow in cultural memory, but ever sit and think about the plot of A Wind in the Door? Madeleine L'Engle was staggeringly strange and frankly gets insufficient credit for whatever was wrong with her. unsung grande dame of weird fiction

Remembering the time I went into that lumber store to get wood for fixing a cracked joist in my house, mainly because it was convenient. They said "oh! We have everything else you need for that too!" and sent me home with super heavy duty wood already cut to length, wood glue, and carriage bolts.
