Me, doing a thing with tools (something I am deeply uncomfortable with), using my back problems as an excuse to have a sit down and support Summit.

Dad, nurse, poor ukulele player, want to paddle all of the lakes, bake and eat all the sweets, ride my bike fast, run not as fast, losing at table tennis to my kids. Love my flawed city of Saint Paul. Anti-fascist. Anti-racist.
Name your favorite film or TV mom. Ok, so maybe she doesn't play a mom, but she is a mom and gives off the best mom vibes.

Hey, @stpaulsaints.bsky.social, my dog Fred is going to get cold on his walks before too long. Will you please make a dog jacket for him, too?
Piss off, Facebook. But at the same time, I want to know what the plot of this movie would be.
Patient: I don't like it when nurses do X so I can't do this thing. Me: Well, we have to do X, and you can't do the thing in the hospital. P: But I like being able to do the thing. Me: I'm afraid that is not safe and is against policy. P: You don't understand. I want to do the thing. #nursing
The #GBBO concept of "American cookies" is utterly baffling. I've eaten a few cookies in the past, and those dough loaves are a whole different thing.
Aw man, @ceaubin.com. Gaugan, too? In the 80s my mom took me to Chicago from MN for a Gaugan exhibit, and I was amazed. Loved him ever since. But now? I didn't know ANY of what I learned from you and @daisydixon.bsky.social. Gave some background to that print we had on the wall. Fuck that guy.
Who could have foreseen closing one camp would lead to people moving to another? Now, according to The Villager, the city is going to close this one before the end of the year, but "the process will be different". Mercy.

Problems have multiplied as encampment has grown.

One of the best unimportant parts of working on a transplant unit is that patients are not supposed to get fresh flowers. Because of that, everybody gets to enjoy the flowers at the nursing station. Burying your face in flowers and taking a deep breath always helps on a busy shift.
Great album. Incredible artist. This is a very enjoyable podcast giving background to Stevie Wonder and his virtuosity.
The Wonder of Stevie — Higher Ground
The year 1972 saw the beginning of a five-year span in which Stevie Wonder released five groundbreaking, critically acclaimed albums, garnering him more than half a dozen Grammys and more than 10 mill...

This is a cropped image from a drug ad, and it makes me crabby. Not, the drug. The paddles. They're FAR too short. Guy can't even get the whole blade in the water! And you have a beautiful wood canoe, but you're using aluminum and pastic paddles? For shame. At least they're wearing bucket hats.
In the late 80s, I lived in married student housing next to the St. Paul campus of the U with my family. I distinctly remember my mom talking to me as we drove through Uptown and pointing at the McDonalds, "That's where punks hang out." I guess she was right. Apologies for FB screenshot.
Whenever I'm looking for donuts, I get so mad about how Eric Shogren changed A Baker's Wife from a fantastic, wait-in-line-worthy bakery to simply a meh-bakery. Their donuts used to be some of the best around. What I had today was little better than a gas station donut. #Minneapolis #SaintPaul
I wish I could pull off Noel Fielding's wardrobe. Each episode of #GBBO, I look forward to what he wears. Episode 1 did not disappoint.
3 patients with 1:1 attendants, 2 in mitts, one in restraints, an active GI bleed, multiple insulin drips. It was a HARD day on the unit. Everybody helped one another, checked in with each other and stayed positive. I'm proud to be a part of this transplant team.
20th anniversary today. It feels like it went by both very quickly and very slowly. Kind of hard to wrap my head around. I just wish it wasn't a school night and a night for a union meeting. Anniversary date with my cute wife will have to wait a couple days.
First impression #GBBO picks: Gary and Connie. However, there are plenty of people that will be easy to root for, as is always the case.
I guess Eye in the Sky is stuck in my head again. That's alright. Those harmonies.

This has triggered a back flare, and I have to go lay on my bed for a couple days, now.

I don't think there is anyone scarier on the dohyo than a thrusting Takayasu. His face is terrifying, too. Amazing that Fujinokawa was able to hold his own.
@sumosoul.bsky.social · 3w agoDay8 M2 Takayasu 3-4 (L) Sw Fujinokawa 5-2 (R) Um, can’t help but think of that OnoYasu bout this basho.. #akibasho2026

Few things are better than baking for people you love.
Was looking for the false start by Fujinokawa, but that looked good... scary good.
@sumosoul.bsky.social · 3w agoDay5 Km Hakunofuji 1-3 (L) Sw Fujinokawa 2-2 (R) Hard to think of Fujinokawa as an underdog if he’s sekiwake but damn. Hakunofuji dominated 2 time champion Aonishiki yesterday #akibasho2026
Takerufuji's head shot on NHK has the facial expression of a a middle-school bully. His #sumo is exciting, but I have kind of a hard time getting past this picture.
I grow tired of Chiyoshoma's crap. One trick pony. and it's not even a good trick. #akibasho2026 day 4 #sumo
