My go-to account for keeping up on Minneapolis news 👇 Dex with a great breakdown of the mayoral race here.
Good morning. I woke up at 7AM and have had a cup and a half of coffee already.
A lot of people outside Minneapolis probably are wondering what's going. What's happened to the "Midwest Mamdani"?
And a lot of people who just learned about us this year are probably confused. It's okay!

Hey y’all, fun life update. I’ve been hard at work on finishing my book The Poisoner’s Recruit. I finalized my cover design and the manuscript will be off to my editor soon. Hoping to release early next year!

He literally said he was good with gun deaths over gun control. You reap what you sow.
I think “Charlie Kirk is was killed because he had a different opinion” is a dishonest take. He was killed because of a broken system he chose to uphold. He chose to fight for a system that killed him. A system that we are trying to fix. He chose this.

A Democrat lawmaker, her husband and her dog were shot to death like a month ago by a right wing extremist and none of these people clutching pearls gave a fuck.
I'm not living in fear of racist white men who would shit themselves if they were alone in a room full of Black people.

Very, very bad stuff coming from leading right-wingers

I’m still upset about Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance 😫
So deeply torn, so I’m cheating because it’s my post! 😌
- Dark Crystal: Age of Resistance
- GLOW
Hon. Mention:
- the Owl House, bc they got those specials to give some closure, but DAMN they deserved so much more time.

If you could get just one more season of any cancelled show, which would you pick?

This morning we had to say goodbye to our sweet Zoey girl. For 11 years you’ve provided more love and laughs than I ever could’ve imagined.
It’s wrecked me seeing you go, but you went so peacefully and were spoiled right up until the end. Rest easy, little girl. I’ll always love you. ❤️🌈

My 2 hobby goals for the year were to read the entire Redwall series and to complete our annual #10x10Challenge for board games. Halfway through the year and I'm right on track!

Being neurodivergent during a heat wave is even worse because setting the thermostat to 72 is too cold, 74 is too warm, and 73 is just a horrible number I refuse to set it to 😩

Got Lignum to the table today after several years and it’s such a good crunchy heavy euro. If you like the constraints of Agricola, i recommend this one for sure. #boardgames

Got the new Billy the Bear at Buddyland set for Final Girl to the table. Barely squeaked out a win and it might be one of my faves (with my new favorite Final Girl card). Love the arcade setting and it’s not an overly complicated set.

Played the Tormentor and Marrek Warehouse combo for Final Girl and tried out the tear dice too. I was in a position to win but rolled horribly and lost, but this is a great one.
