My self-described centrist mother hates Trump, but also told me "at least he's helping world peace (???)." She didn't vote in 2024 because she thinks Kamala is "weak." She's opposed to "the welfare state" but likes universal healthcare. She says Fuck ICE and abolish borders 🤷‍♀️

She loved to lick sweaty legs 🥺 So sorry for you & @tudehfruiteh.bsky.social ❤️

Really good breakfast sandwiches 👇

Was talking to a friend about this today and they said "Everyone wants a revolution but no one wants to do the dishes"

I once had a fork confiscated by security at the gov't center (I was carrying my lunch)

My musical lineup has not changed meaningfully since 2009

I still get semi-regular emails from the Budapest light rail system because I bought a bus ticket 2 years ago

Mentioned to a Gen Z coworker what years I was in college & they responded "omg it must have been amazing to be in college in 2010" 💀

I am completely serious btw, I have actually been meaning to re-read them this year. They are my hope in the dark books. Also I need more tattoo inspo 😅

YES

clare how have you not already sent this to me

Oooooof

What an incredible political move it has been for Jacob to characterize being anti-encampment as caring about eliminating homelessness--an objectively good thing--while really just dog-whistling to your base of Karens & landlords that you're actually just pro-cop.

This is such an insane lie. There are at least 3 people who sleep in the vestibule of my building regularly. You're telling me they're representative of 11% of the unsheltered Minneapolis homeless population??

I know 40+ unsheltered homeless people by name. You absolute clown.

I find myself thinking about His Dark Materials a lot these days.

Be intentional with time spent together & carve out designated alone time. I used to think date nights were cringe but I think they might have helped a past relationship 😅

I second the advice that separate bedrooms are OK & healthy! Only way I would even consider living with someone again lol

In particular, any episode with Blair Braverman if you like wilderness/survival stories. There was a series of episodes on Go Ask Alice with Carmen Maria Machado awhile ago that was great. Also a relatively recent one on the Janes.

On the off chance that you are not already familiar with You're Wrong About-- Sarah Marshall is an incredible curator/interviewer of good storytellers and it's easy to bounce around episodes based on what sparks your interest.

It may be cringe, but I think Marie Kondo's advice to literally thank the item is helpful & kind of lovely

So glad!!

Ooh, also the Aquarium & Insectarium are pretty good if that's your thing

My main NOLA take is Cafe Beignet > Cafe du Monde. My fave is the one on Royal.

Bookstores can be a bit lacking imo, but Crescent City Books is good & Beckham's has cats.

City Park is not overrated--absolutely worth it.

If you can make it to Magazine St, there's some cute vintage stores.

Myth always gets the zoomies and demands play when I am sad & just want to cuddle 🙄

when i say this movie changed my life i mean it

Fwiw, boyfriend from MN says no. Possibly a Minnesota girl thing? 🤔

Yes--seemingly a Minnesota thing?

Some reasons a shelter might not be appropriate!

Some shelters are for a single night and do not have adequate safe storage for your possessions or a guarantee for the following night. If you own a tent and do not want it getting stolen in exchange for a single indoor night, that's not practical 1/
