One of the annoying things about trump as president is that anytime anyone in a position of power does something wrong, everyone can just be like "have you seen who's president???" and completely dismiss wrongdoing.

The City of St. Paul has hired an outside law firm to investigate sexual harassment allegations against Mayor Kaohly Her, including claims that she directed inappropriate sexual comments toward Police Chief Axel Henry and other city employees.

Me: I need to end this portion of my novel on something really good before I sent it to my agent. The last sentence: Seconds later, I woke up to [redacted]’s erect penis pressed against my leg.

I tell more stories about when I was on Twitter than when I was in high school.

Brian and I are taking a few staycation days in August in lieu of a vacation this year. What would you do within short driving distance of the Twin Cities?

I get why it feels like this, but also, you and 3-5 neighbors could join your local (city/county) Democratic Party tomorrow and chances are they'd ASK you to run your precinct

There's nothing to "join" in the Democratic Party. It's a brand with products I spend my vote on once a year at the democracy store. Most people's experience of it is an endless stream of texts that read like scams, their reward for donating or signing a petition. No wonder DSA is growing

Every day for the past few weeks I've experienced some small inconvenience or setback that feels like walking down the street being pelted by pebbles except now the pebbles are really starting to hurt

Sorry to have to post this, but if you’re Going Out in any capacity today, here’s what to know 💨🚭🥲 (🎁🔗)

I bought two kinds of lettuce today???????????????????

I have some kind of disorder where when I'm told not to eat a specific type of food, I can only think of that food. Why does every recipe include lettuce?

So much of the trump administration is so dumb that it's easy to forget that federal agents are occupying cities and killing people.

All the posts on Threads right now are like “As an expert in pooping, here’s some advice for those of you that are new to pooping your pants.”

This is true. Our public health department is legitimately the best at tracing this stuff. Apparently they're known among other state health departments as "Team Diarrhea" (complimentary)

It's wild that it's skipped Minnesota? And VERY inconveneint. MN's state public health dept is undefeated. Usually, nationwide food outbreaks keep going & nobody can find where they're coming from... until MN gets their first three cases. Then they figure out where it came from in like a week.

This is the most amazing little story!  You won't believe what a customer had stuck in their car! 🙀  Safe to say they brought it to the right people...

My brain is very backwards in that pregnancy destroys me emotionally, I feel pretty good! after giving birth, and now, as I start to ween off pumping (which I hate), I am an emotional disaster again.

I firmly believe this alone is the biggest driver of crime coverage and discourse

We had a really mean python at work and I gave him back to his owner and was like “he was trying to kill me” and his owner said “well, he only has so many ways to interact with the world. All he has is a face” and it Moved Me

The parents at our daycare got a lot better at communicating during the ICE surge (great!) and formed a parent board (great!) that is predictably all women (not great!)

Experts aren't always right. That's why I put my faith in morons who are never right

Interesting that people will still celebrate father's day even though Josef Stalin himself was a father. Not to mention Pol Pot, Steven Seagal, and Cobra Commander

Shopping for Father’s Day presents helps me understand why men are insane

reading an academic paper

I think conspiracy may be a bad frame for right wing election denial because what they’re really expressing is a belief in is the idea that non-white people shouldn’t be able to vote.

I'm glad New York is finally experiencing what it's like to be an Alabama football fan* *have one guy fuck up your entire game day to attend the game for like ten minutes

Now that Brian has completed his job search, I need to complain that all jobs boards are filled with positions that are some variation of cop.

I hope it happens at the Knicks game

If nobody buys your book who cares? You can write an even more stupid one after that

Like, 2026 has been one giant stressor after another but at least I got to eat this incredible breakfast sandwich and eggrolls for lunch today

There is a saying that the vast majority of Americans are one emergency away from poverty. This is true. What's also true, I believe, is that most millennials are one crashout away from never coming back.
