#OutfitOfTheDay #OotD Long weekend plus longer sleep means slower to recover. Still have laundry and work to take care of. Thankful for a work from home position. Time to kick some butt. Slowly.

The liveable, inclusive, prosperous city isn’t a final destination, but a never-ending journey that continually seeks opportunities for improvement. That mindset—of continuous refinement rather than complacency—is what distinguishes great cities from good ones. Westeringsevest, Delft: 2015 vs 2026.
It’s just malpractice if the Strib doesn’t do a real examination of what a Republican Attorney General would mean, instead of centering all of its coverage on DFL vulnerabilities. www.startribune.com/minnesota-at...
Keith Ellison wants to run on fighting Trump. Republicans want to make it about fraud.
Republican Ron Schutz is betting Ellison’s vulnerabilities can flip an attorney general’s race expected to be among Minnesota’s closest this fall.

This Dutch intersection was given a design that, despite not being urban, offered people walking and cycling a safe passageway along and through the conflict zone. However, motorists kept speeding along here, so that's when enforcement tech was brought in. Speed cameras dropped speeds drastically.

The disconnect afternoon helped. Going to hopefully get early sleep within two hours. Very thankful for the community today: they helped more than expected. Hopefully tomorrow I will be recharged for work.

Voter roll purges are necessary to remove people who have become ineligible to vote. But sometimes purges can erroneously include thousands of eligible voters. As the Trump administration ramps up its attacks on voting, it’s time to check your registration status: https://demdock.com/4gRtE8P

My apartment is one of the buildings in this situation. It's so frustrating to know I'm faithfully paying my utility bills and the money is disappearing into a pit when it could instead be keeping Minneapolis city staff employed or offering beneficial city services.

once again the media is being disrespectful to Black elected officials and misspelling their names! her name is pearll warren. why is MPR just guessing and the not even proofreading their work to catch these incredibly basic errors?
MPR News@mprnews.org · 21h agoThe Minneapolis City Council is weighing a new ordinance requiring businesses that have a dress code to post it publicly before entry. Council member Jason Chavez, who authored the ordinance, said it was created to end what is called “velvet rope discrimination.”
no one is “learning about minneapolis” from exploitive streamers who fly in for a story and fly right back out when it’s done. that is just consuming cheap video. it’s junk food. it’s nothing you learn about minneapolis from the people who actually live here and build the community
kat rohn and ash tifa's talk at convergence played a video by outfront minnesota called "queer joy in resistance" and it was nice to see former city council president andrea jenkins in it. i'll never forget how she was so clear eyed on what lake & bloomington meant www.youtube.com/watch?v=9Zyk...

last day of national convergence for democracy. i’m not here as press so haven’t been sharing, but it’s been cool to not only tie organizing in response to operation metro surge to 2020 uprising, but thread it back to occupy homes and how the arab spring taught us how twitter can be used to mobilize
May possibly skip the outfit of the day pic. Allergies have not been fun, and I think the air quality also went down. I'll see if I'm up for a pic later today since I want to do at least one fun social thing, but we'll see if my body is fine with it. This may be another very early Sunday sleep day.
Paint and plastic sticks will never be enough to enable children, seniors, or anyone of any age who is concerned with their safety to ride a bike for transportation. This bike lane design is car infrastructure and nothing more. Intentional, solid, separated design is what it takes and nothing less.
