Nice line from Jessicaoutofthecloset on instagram: “Moral panics end, queer community doesn’t.” Survive. Fight and survive.

I like this notetaking example. it is a good case of how gender works. Notetaking has never been about producing a transcript. It is a bureaucratic skill in the 20th c. organixarion because it is SENSEMAKING. Those women socialized to take notes? They have been doing men’s metacognition for them

Notetaking in meetings is tiny case in point - used to be some predictable social assumptions who would do it; now anyone can offer to do ”notetaking” by turning on the AI listener. Further interesting scenario is human recollection / notes (taken by habit by a person) conflict with AI summary

I've lived in DT St. Paul for over 9 years and one of my neighbors does this every so often and it has never failed to make me smile.

bruh, you cannot, must not look away when they trying to sell you $31 million in police overtime (to an already bloated $230 million budget), sell you a "mysterious" $30 mil budget deficit and need for you to pony up more cash. You should be outraged. You should demand better.

Minneapolis leaders are weighing budget cuts and a possible property tax increase as the city faces a $30 million shortfall.

It's always a good time to support WPBP! "Magers & Quinn is thrilled to bring back our book drive for Women's Prison Book Project! For the entire month of August, you may choose to purchase a book from the display at the front register, and M&Q will deliver it directly to WPBP."

Volunteering at the food bank this morning and we had to discard 4 cases of Taylor Farms salad bowls that were donated by a local grocery chain a couple of days ago. They gave us recalled food knowing it was contaminated, and wrote it off as a donation. 🤬

#Booksky 2 events this weekend! Saturday - There have been 4 MN winners of the Alice B. Readers Award (lifetime achievement in sapphic fiction) and they’ll be reading and signing books at Quatrefoil Library in Minneapolis on 7/25 at 2PM! facebook.com/events/s/ali...

I did the one with only 1 filter, it cleared the apartment in 20 minutes. $83 for supplies (incl. tax) because we didn't have a box fan or tape or a plastic sheet for the AC leaks. If you have a box fan and tape and some cardboard, it would have been $29 (incl. tax) #wildfires #CanadianWildfires

Comrades with wildfire smoke: Really do wear respiratory protection, that shit isn't just bad in the moment, it has serious long-term health implications and not just for your lungs! If you don't have an air purifier really do try to get one, if possible, and REMEMBER TO CLEAN AND CHANGE FILTERS.

Sault Ste Marie is at.... 1258?!?! What..... how.... like, what even is the air at that point? I stepped outside around 5-6pm to get the mail when the smoke was just moving in and it was still in the 90s, and it was like standing in a sauna that was on fire. I cannot fathom what that's like.

Yep, uh huh, yeah, yep, gotcha, good, great

The Twin Cities metro just broke their record for highest 1 hour AQI observation. An AQI of 535 was measured in Blaine. The previous record? 330. The air is dangerous up there tonight. Please be safe.

The air quality monitor at the Bell Museum (Larpenteur and Cleveland) is at 632. The color bar legend ends at 400.

The air is a hazardous 388 AQI here in beautiful smokehouse Minneapolis according to my AirNow app. It’s worse up north.

Director Ridley Scott did not hire renowned artist H.R. Giger to create the monster in the movie Alien so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable." bsky.app/profile/gwen...

The Wachowski sisters didn't use 120 cameras to film one shot just so you could tell me that AI is "inevitable."
