Recalling when a water main break in downtown had us emergency shutting everything down. Great idea folks. Same break also killed our aircon as well. Oh and the countless fiber cuts from the neverending digging. Good times.

I’m already exhausted. It’s all so dumb.There are, at most, a couple buildings that might be good candidates for a data center conversion. There are no imminent plans. A moratorium isn’t bad or good - it just gives time to figure out what we want. The council member is being ridiculous.

Hi all. Today I am starting barn raisers for our last 3 rents that are unfunded. First up is MPS family K who needs $2200 for May rent still. Can anyone chip in or share? 🌻

Rachel Bean, still sick but less@colocharachel.bsky.social · 7mo ago

You can sign up to be connected to a rent need directly via the Adopt A Rent program OR you can barnraise with me by chipping in here on Bluesky. We completed or funded in full FOUR rents this way last night. V: colocha_rachel $: ColochaRachel Dm for Zelle www.standwithminnesota.com/adoptarent

i think one of the roadblocks people feel like they’re running into when deciding to donate to mutual aid funds is figuring out what’s trustworthy. i find it helps to outsource that vetting - i trust ian completely, and ian knows & trusts their community in minneapolis.

Ok now that I've primed the tank, I have a 3rd, bigger need. I have $400/2100 paid toward a rent that is due tomorrow. Anyone wanna chip in or share this to help pay someone's rent? V: colocha_rachel $: ColochaRachel (paypal and zelle via DM)

Original $230 was met but now I"m looking for $250 to complete a second rent need tonight. Can you chip in to help cover $250 that would help someone pay their rent in full? 🌻 V: colocha_rachel $: ColochaRachel

If you have the ability to send donations via zelle and are thinking of donating, hit ashley up.

I went through and added up the total paid rents through our adopt-a-rent program, and it is 329 families for $463,217. All peer-to-peer, no fundraising. Just neighbors helping each other out. If you want to adopt a family, and can afford to give $500 or more, signal me at asiniiwiikwe.72

Officers responding to a planned snowball fight in Washington Square Park were struck by members of the crowd. The NYPD commissioner described the incident as "illegal" and said authorities are investigating.

I need to address this immediately, because I am WAY too Minnesotan to ever claim credit for this. I built a thing to point the fire hose of people's generosity in the right direction. That's it. I am thankful for the piece, because hopefully it means people will donate more money.
