Go to the Union Depot, the people with suspenders bus costumes are there, there are small children pretending to drive a bus, there is ice cream, the sun is bright, and much is right with the world

Just now I nearly dropped my phone, I bobbled it around for a second or two then caught it backhanded, upside down, between one finger and my wrist, like a god damned hero

In the last 24 hours I've seen at least four suspicious local stories about bird rescues and I can't put my finger on it, but there is something afoot. The bird people are plotting something

So hey, is there a reason I've not seen any news stories published in local press about one of the biggest LGBTQ and HIV care providers in the state just very suddenly shutting down today, with barely two hours notice?

Do you live in St Paul? Have you heard of the Charter Commission? Few have. They administer our homerule charter, they do redistricting, and they hold the keys to major procedural questions in our city. Seven seats are open, and applications are due THIS MONDAY www.stpaul.gov/departments/...

Permanent fixes for our streets cost money and take time - we have huge backlogs. In the meantime, we should implement cheap and quick fixes that trick people's perceptions of the streets to inspire good behavior. I'm thinking roadrunner style painting murals in the street

I think this situation is mostly bad and not good but it will be fun to see which of my lib friends abandon Biden over 5% rent control

Joseph's Dad: "you're so unusually pretty I bought you this nice coat" Readers: "???" Alternatively: Josephs Dad: "you're so unusually pretty I bought you this princess dress" Readers: "...oh! OH!!!!"

Ok so this is a chance to share one of my favorite religion facts It is not a "coat" it is a PRINCESS DRESS. The hebrew word used does not mean "coat" and the only other time it is used in the bible is to describe a dress King Herod bought for his daughter. Really changes the story!

I'm at the StP City Council meeting for a hearing on the East Grand Avenue Overlay District, which is restrictive zoning which has stifled development on Grand for almost 20 years.

Looking forward to seeing @danmarstp.bsky.social 's tears of joy when the EGAOD is finally rewritten

I have worked with some folks at a different outdoor org that is trans inclusive and provides ASL for many of their participants, and it is a joy to see the folks there thrive. Happy to support more folks having that opportunity.

Trans Camp! Trans Camp! A friend is fundraising to support the work of Trans Camp, which is a weekend getaway for trans people in Minnesota to get together out in the woods and experience community. They need $6,000 to provide scholarships and ASL interpretation for the camp.

I was basically going to write this exact article, but instead I'll just add a few more points 1. Compared to similar state supported routes the Borealis is a strong performer. The most similar are the Pennsylvanian and 318/319, the Missouri River Runner that runs through to Chicago 🧵
