If you live in a place with proper winter, look at how well the sidewalks around the property are maintained after snow or a bad freeze thaw cycle or the like. It’s a good indication if property management is on top of their shit or if problems will just be ignored until the city gets involved.

Should I pull the trigger on the Pixel 8 listing I’ve got up on eBay right now? My level of tech savvy is ‘I installed Bazzite on my gaming laptop and it’s mostly just worked’, I think I should be fine with Graphene but…

(Also, anyone know if Tuta is good? I’m looking for a replacement for Google calendar and Gmail and that seems to fit the bill.)

There were so many people handing out hand warmers. I even brought a few to share. Dude at the DSA table in the commons was handing them out and quipped “can’t flip off ICE without your middle finger”.

We’ve consistently got the best voter turnout in the country here in Minnesota, it’s everyone else who needs to get on our level.

Here’s the neat part - we did! Minnesota is pretty consistently the top state for voter turnout. The rest of you need to quit slacking and get on our level, lol.

…What I mean to say is that Sandy is the glue holding us together.

I’m not sure that’s any better, lol.

My roommate watched a woman get dragged from her wrecked car, bleeding and screaming for help, being disappeared by ICE. They were recording and I’ve seen the video. I’ll probably never forget it. I carry a whistle now but I pray I’ll never need it. We’re like two weeks into whatever the fuck this is and I’m already sick of it. I’m tired of running to the window every time I hear a car alarm, I’m tired of wondering if I hear the wind or a whistle. I’m tired of worrying about more people I know getting abducted, and scrutinizing every vehicle that drives past if they’re going to fuck with me because I’m visibly queer and also trying not to be mistaken for the gestapo occupying my city. Is this an occupation? And I know war is worse. Fuck all of this.

Nah, piloswine is actually prepared for winter.

Good news, yesterday it hit 40, everything melted, and today it’s all frozen for proper Minnesota winter next week where we’re supposed to be getting sub zero temps! I’ve never been this thrilled for shitty cold freeze thaw cycles.

The photographer is apparently Christopher Katzarov with the Canadian press, according to what I saw on Reddit. (I live in Minneapolis, Reddit is kinda a necessary evil right now.)

Also found this one on a stock image site, seems to be same event and same photographer.

Four hours later, I just checked and it’s still up lol. Nobody say anything.

I’ve seen a few people with talons like this in Florida but most places it’s not practical or socially acceptable to wear flip flops for all occasions and year round. You’re not getting those things in normal shoes.

Is Malta that unheard of? I’ve got a path to EU citizenship and I’m working on it. Maybe it’s just Minnesota in winter influencing me but Malta is one of the first places I want to check out to maybe move to. On paper they’ve got some of the best legal protections for trans people on the planet (although I’m aware it’s partly pinkwashing for political corruption). And their cycling infrastructure apparently isn’t great…

Linkin Pork

Fill it with something more appropriate and I think it’d be a neat Halloween party treat. Visually it turned out cursed in the best way.

Transit is great, maybe see if your transit agency is willing to pay for it, mine does and that’s why I started using it in the first place.

I had to screenshot after my 1am trip home from work on New Year’s Day because it was the first and only time I’ll ever be #1 on my local route, lol.

Boggle rules I see cuck because of how that c is rotated.

mango-flavored cigarettes

He would be fond of mango flavored vape juice.

If Windows gets their way you don’t!
