According to @patrickrhone.bsky.social, I can kick your ass, take your name, and donate it to a worthy cause.

We’ve staked out our viewing spot for the Tour of Britain today. Now time for a hike and a picnic.

I’ve opted for a donation to the MN ACLU in honor of Nazi-punching Spiderman. He’s a goddamn hero.

I hope the GoFundMe fundraisers are legit and the money gets directly to Nicholas William Love II’s defense. He deserves it.

Can someone help me understand who Keyssy Ayala Castro Figueroa is? They’re listed as beneficiary on 2 GoFundMe pages as ‘Spiderman’ but the Spiderman has been ID’d as Nicholas William Love. I want to make sure my donation is going to the right persons before I donate. #spiderman

PSA
Traffic backed up on Lake of the Isles Parkway at 22nd Street after an elderly golden retriever dropped his frisbee in the middle of the street so that he could focus all his attention on dropping a poop. Owner has a bag ready. Avoid the area.

Guys! Early voting turnout at Minneapolis Elections and Voter Services is great! Way to go team - high fives all around 🖐🏻

Thanks, as always, to the brilliant and hard working @naomikritzer.bsky.social for keeping us all well-informed. Go buy her books!

Just a reminder that we still have plenty of these stickers you can buy and plaster about town. 100% of profits go Urban Village in Saint Paul @mndarkclouds.bsky.social

It's December 16, 1773. The Dartmouth is in Boston Harbor. Are you chucking tea overboard into the harbor or are you siding with the British tax collectors?

Any other sleepless peeps out there tonight? I’m sick. So congested I can’t breathe through my nose. My back up full face CPAP mask is missing the strap & I’m too tired to hack together a mask solution. So, settling into the recliner to try to sleep CPAP-free. Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk.

As a person with uncontrollable curls, Condra's hair is totally relatable.

I think there's plenty of open space in North Oaks for an immigrant detention center 🤔

Say hello to my new bike, Tulip (you know, because she is from the Netherlands and she's very pretty).

I'm now considering a St. Paul pied-à-terre.

I really hope that this is the last #30daysofbiking I'll miss. 4 joint replacements in 18 months has been brutal. But I have a Gazelle step-through electric bike on order from Angry Catfish and I'm so looking forward to getting it squeeeee!
