I'm an attorney who lives in Hennepin County. You shouldn't vote for Anders Folk unless you want a Republican Hennepin Co Attorney. You're allowed to be a single-issue voter in this race. Vote for the person who will prosecute ICE. Vote for Frazier.

anders folk went from speaking to washington county GOP to campaigning with andrew myers, the republican state rep for 45a, a seat that could decide whether or not the DFL gains a trifecta in minnesota again. myers is being challenged by tracey breazeale, a democrat taylordahlin.com/f/anders-fol...

It took me two hours to get both kids to stop taking turns screaming and to stay asleep, so I had an espresso at like 9pm after that to buy back some me-time, and now I am eternal consciousness.

Yeah, this. I had to take insulin for gestational diabetes, it kind of sucks. Taking a weekly shot over a daily one sounds very preferable.

ashley fairbanks@ziibiing.com · 4d ago

man, i wish that folks didn’t make big moralizing statements about people on glp-1s. some of us are out here with diabetes just trying not to lose a foot. my glp-1 controls my a1c, makes my life pretty normal, allows me not to use insulin.

I have also harvested several pounds of tomatoes and I’m not doing this, but the temptation is real

cait (and adonis)@cait.bsky.social · last wk.

okay so when I got out to my car this morning, there was a plastic grocery bag tied around the driver's side door handle and it turned out to be presumably home grown tomatoes, a note saying "GRILLED CHEESE AND TOMATO" and nothing else

I’m glad that there’s been more coverage of this, but I must also point out that we - the actual Lebanese - have been saying that Israel’s goal is to make south Lebanon unliveable for nearly 2 years. I said this myself multiple times. We are simply not believed *because* we are Lebanese.

never thought short form video would be able to capture a type of humor i can only describe as “the far side-esque” but this comes close.

Ok, but I actually am capable of drawing that up in a few hours and I’m probably not going to make the effort when theater of the mind is perfectly sufficient. What is this dude doing in the GM chair if he can’t paint a picture with words?

being trans means mildly criticising a public figure, having news orgs talk about your mental state without your input and then having the public figure make a grand statement about how they are such a great trans ally and not even acknowledge that you were also being dragged through the mud.

Deeply fucked that “regardless of what genitals a little girl has, I don’t think adults should demand to look at them” is considered a radical freak position in some corners

This is exactly the kind of nightmare that heirs of creative people face all the time. I’m not a big Pekar fan and I backed, because I’m a huge preservation fan!

Harvey & Joyce's adopted daughter Danielle is trying to raise funds to deal with Pekar's raw archive; basically four storage lockers full of notes, outlines, ideas, etc. Note this is not Pekar's comics per se. Those rights have been tied up in court for years. Long, ugly story. Worth backing.

Every adult woman that I have been deeply familiar with has had a moment with a man when she knows that he would hit her if be could get away with it. Some even know what he looks like when he does it. You never forger what it looks and feel like. That Miller video has it all.

My heart hurts too much to even say something ironic about this. What if we just fucking start fighting for every single precious human life before they’re under attack. What if we treat now like it matters as much as it does.
