Minneapolis renter (Ward 10). Plural/non-binary adult (they/them pronouns) on the autistic spectrum that seeks to learn and improve each day. Wants more accessible spaces without requiring a car. Mistakes will be made, but at least one can learn from them.

It will take me a little more than an hour since I start in Uptown, but I may consider the ride one day in April.
Had an amazing time at the St Albert the Great fish fry. Dan introduced me to his family and I had to explain to his small child that Dan takes such good care of his clients that it makes him my dad, not his.

Is it relatively safe to bike up there from downtown Minneapolis? I could always use some more Thai.

This is why pavement color differentiation is so important. If it looks like car infrastructure (grey asphalt), it will be treated like car infrastructure.
It's not fool proof, but it serves many purposes, one of which is clearly establishing who belongs where, and who doesn't.
Worked with a neighbor to clean up some bad URL art on a curb. Got rewarded with a new friend and dog cuddles from a different neighbor on my way back home. Note to self: golden retrievers have a LOT of energy.
Absolutely no clue about wars, unemployment, fascists, or grocery prices. To be the Branch Manager is bliss.
You don't give people mobility options with painted bike gutters. You do it with this. 👇
Logging on to tell you that the Mayo Clinic's annual profit is equal to HCMC's entire operating revenue.
However can we find the money to save our bedrock safety net hospital? 🤔

Fog covers a river, island, and dam.
One of the many benefits of bike commuting is that sometimes you get to stop and take in an awesome view.
People online have been (in my view foolishly) suggesting that this is WWIII, or the *beginning stages* of WWIII, and my response has been, no, there is no possibility of that unless and until another major nuclear power interv—
Months of work and millions of dollars raised by thousands of our residents to help keep people in their homes comes down to the signature of one person. We’re calling on Mayor Frey to sign Pause Evictions, Save Lives. This policy temporarily gives residents 30 more days to help prevent evictions.
If you build streets for people, people will actually use them. Proper modal allocation turns a street from a place you tolerate into a place you want to be.
We need your help bringing two pregnant women back home from ICE detention! Their loved ones and community are asking for financial assistance to support the family during these difficult times.

An assorted collection of clothes, shoes, and belts to give away this weekend. There are six bags in all, with each bag housing a different type of item.
Alright, all items laundered and bagged up. Just have to find time to get to Buffalo Exchange over the weekend.
Costco is now demanding that Trump pay them back for his tariffs so they can refund all of their customers.
On Thursday the City Council passed Pause Evictions Save Lives to give our neighbors an extra month to come up with rent as we recover from the federal occupation! Thank you to those who came and testified. We need the mayor to sign this as soon as possible! Urge him to do so at 612-673-2100
MSP is defined by small cozy nice-to-haves that alongside the need-to-haves, bundled together, make for the best livability for the money of just about anywhere in America.
That's what we've been fighting for. And basic human decency. And love of our neighbors.
This is why my family moved here. We got priced out of Denver housing ... but learned we could get way more for our money in Minneapolis.
(Yes, we just have to deal with harsher winters.)
A speaker wire in an Odin 2 Portal that appears to have gotten caught on a screw standoff and cut when the device was assembled.
Do I know anyone in the Twin Cities who is capable of soldering/repairing small wires? Or, does anyone know someone who is? I got a fun little Android handheld from China (Odin 2 Portal), their QA left something to be desired, and I haven't heard back from them. Happy to pay!
The public transit + cargo bike challenge is one we need to put more energy and resources into solving.
I want to buy local when possible, but there are days where it just feels...well, not impossible, but very tricky. Oh well: getting what I should hopefully need by Tuesday.
Imagine if you single handedly had the power to delay thousands of evictions & keep families in their homes. Jacob Frey can do that by signing what Council passed yesterday. Or he can help evict thousands of people with a veto.

Maybe this is me getting older, but why do I feel like wanting to do some early cleaning and removing of junk before Daylight Savings Time begins?

Boardroom decisions on what type of bolt head to use. One person wants half allen and half torx, the second wants half torx and half allen and the third wants to keep it simple by using one or the other but not both. The third person gets thrown out of the window.
You don't need to create extra space for active infrastructure, you simply need to reallocate the space you already have.
