#Bookstodon It’s that time of year again! The Smashwords Summer/Winter sale is on and you can get great deals on our books! https://www.smashwords.com/profile/view/QoSPress

Downtown Wayzata could use some more bike parking on a day like today. There was a stainless steel sculptural object that had no bikes on it that might have been a rack? But seemed more likely to be sculpture? #BikeToot

For those of you visiting #Minnesota and freaking out about the storm sirens that went off 20 minutes ago (on a beautiful sunny day): it's ok, tornados legally aren't allowed to strike on the 1st Wednesday of each month between 1-2pm.

#Bookstodon #Minneapolis Back to Loring Park in Minneapolis for Day 2 of TC Pride! If you’re going to the parade, be sure and swing through the park and visit the vendors - last night’s storm hit hard and folks are going to need some 💖. We should be okay, but would love to sell you books too! https://tcpride.org/festival/

@Unlikelylass was definitely some unusual rumble here in SAP awhile back. Heard a thump in the back yard that I'll have to check out in the morning.

Happy #Pride, geeks! We're hanging out at #TwinCitiesPride all weekend with our friends at Geek Partnership Society and Gaylaxicon, so swing by booths #525 and #526 in the Orange area to say hello! #TCpride #Minneapolis #MNastodon 🏳️‍🌈 🏳️‍⚧️

#Bookstoron #Minneapolis #TCPride Our location at Twin Cities Pride in Loring Park in Minneapolis this weekend is not quite self-explanatory, so I made a TikTok vid to help you find us! Come say hi! Lots of cool books to check out! https://www.tiktok.com/t/ZP8rWeVw5/

Taking the day off from day job to spend a few hours getting caught up on things while my cleaners come in and make the place habitable, then hauling my butt to TC Pride setup to engage in the fun that is very muddy outdoor events when you sell products made from paper, then needful errands, then collapse. After that, it’s all Pride for 2 days! Come see us in the Queer Writes Tent (near MCTC/Gai Noi) in Loring Park in Minneapolis 10-7 Saturday and 10-6 Sunday!

I needed this today. https://youtube.com/shorts/nrfmRGIls4o?si=rwxiOg9cA8z3UOzD

When people really know you. ♥️

Having a bit of nostalgia for an otherwise entirely problematic relationship but they were also the only person I can think of that I could talk about some topics with.

@johnefrancis @ajroach42 sorry, OverPowered.

@cherdt you are NOT wrong. 😜

If you do any biking in MN, it's time to take a survey.

(The actual survey link is the last line of the first paragraph, which I missed too many times)

Cyclists, take note! The state of MN wants you to fill out a survey to better factor bicycles into statewide transit planning:

@johnefrancis @ajroach42 I've been saying to friends for a week now that I don't think the expansion teams are OP. For two seasons in a row a LOT of the pre-season analysis has consistently said that New York was the team to beat and MN had no idea what they were doing. But here we are two years later...

Still, I think it's pretty likely one or the other of them will be in the playoffs at least. Not justification for the noise right now, but because the talent pool is just that big and deep.

Some days you take a reduction in crap over a removal of crap, because progress is still progress.
