MarniOpe! 🤬🧊

I have opinions and know stuff. Minneapolis enby witch with a pain disorder and cats. In my previous life I was a forensic psychologist. Now I garden and spread love to counteract my inner angst. I *will* call you "love." When I die, I will be released.
I had a night out with my neighbors because that's what happens on nice evenings. I don't get all cocky and close a street about it or invite the cops. I just sit in my front yard and see who drops by. It can often look like a party. Community will do that.
I am having all sorts of "duh, Mar" realizations this summer. The kind where, like, I knew. I KNEW. I'm just naming things. My brother and I were talking about how much better it is when you finally get to label things... Like colors. When you label greens, you see more nuance to the color.
When you make friends with the construction guys, they give you a share of their finds. The first he said I could have because he had two of these bottles, and he didn't know what the lid was and I did so it was my prize. They probably broke the bowl so threw out the lid when the street was paved.
I'm unable to donate anymore, but I used to be a champion donor. My first donation was a nightmare, at the high school, and it was for several others that day. Not to be deterred, I rounded them all up and we caravanned to the donation center that weekend with their best phlebotomist. Go donate!
Elle Ess@viamarsala18.bsky.social · 2d agoWho is going to find time in their week this week to donate blood? The American Red Cross declared only its second ever national blood crisis in 145 years. There’s only a day’s worth of O+!
I just read selections of this to my boss through my cackles, voices and all, and we are just having a time in my office. What a wild ride, I need closure! 🧵
taylr@taylordahlin.com · 2d agoi'm listening to this. complainant dan fiskum is on the call, he says he has a potential witness logged in as well if they are needed mike lindell is on the call himself with his lt gov phillip parrish as well
I went to the Little Canada Days Parade and it was honestly the cutest and most wholesome thing I've seen in a long time.
*sends this to my dad and aunt and uncle* "So about my ever fucking moving back there..."
Hoodlum 🇺🇸@nothoodlum.bsky.social · 4d agoThe man endorsed by Sarah Huckabeast in this video is Arkansas state Rep. Austin McCollum. McCollum was arrested today on charges of aggravated assault against a family or household member, first-degree false imprisonment, and third-degree domestic battery. www.nwaonline.com/news/2026/au...
I wrecked my bike really bad, and the guy who was on the way to the bar that I just left used my phone to call my best friend and stayed on the phone with him until he got to there (before GPS) so I wouldn't be alone. I have forgotten his name. He worked as a Peace Coffee delivery cyclist.

Over the last two weeks there have been continued power outages in Minneapolis. Our power grid isn't prepared for this kind of stress! It can barely handle the increase in residential AC use with the heat. What do you think they're going to do when they need more power than we have?
Jason Chavez@jchavezmpls.bsky.social · 5d agoA Virginia developer wants to redevelop the old Star Tribune printing plan into a data center in North Loop. This is on a 13-acre site by the river. This is exactly why CM @aurinmpls.bsky.social & I authored a data center moratorium & we were told to not worry. 1/ www.startribune.com/data-center-...
Hey Minnesota won and the nudification technology ban will go into effect tomorrow at 12:00AM!
Yes. I have a really hard time describing it to people, but this may be one of the best ways yet. Just... Constant discomfort. Nono, you go ahead and have fun. Don't mind me. I'll be over here not quite enjoying myself.
ashley fairbanks@ziibiing.com · 5d agodepression is like having a mild flu forever, or maybe like, a slight allergy to living
I just walked to the chiropractor and she commented on how relaxed and easy to adjust I was. I am serious. I am about to go into sleep mode. I deserve this!!!
MarniOpe! 🤬🧊@silentmachine.bsky.social · 5d agoHad a big glass of iced espresso blend coffee, now I'm ready for a nap. Cafe Bustelo you failed me.

My garden hose can only reach so far, so I'm really thankful for this rain. I'm glad it's a gentle rain, and that it's going to be all day. If only it could spread itself out over a couple weeks, that'd be nice.
I was about to post this very thing. This evening is gorgeous! I've been texting with my best friend who is a whole half block away. We are not sharing physical space tonight, we want this delicious evening to ourselves, but it was definitely too good not to share a little!

I need y'all to hear my thoughts. Being poor is not a moral failure. Being unemployed in an economy where there are no jobs to be had is not your fault. Being considered a cog in a machine by billionaires instead of real flesh and blood is a problem when they keep telling you "life is precious."
We moved so much faster between COVID and our camps than Germany did between the Spanish flu and theirs. I know y'all see the connection. You see the connection, right?

With the disappointment in all these people we've looked up to lately, I have a question. Can we all look for the hero within, instead?
The amount of couples I've seen twinning lately has increased. It's adorable. My husband and I have done it for a long time. It's such a small way to show affection in public. It's not something we've ever felt compelled to do - it's a giggle for us.
Going with the flow of the universe, it's my new thing
Eric Alper @thatericalper.com · last wk.Your last text message is now your epitaph. What does your tombstone say?
Full moon has me flat out in bed feeling every inch of my skin. Riding the waves today.
One of my favorite parts of the morning is watching her watch the birds. She pitter-patters her feet. 😂
