my brother's MIL who has voted Republican basically her entire life but switched to Kamala last year is apparently asking questions about who to donate to in order to protect people from ICE.

I made them last night and froze them and then let them thaw on the countertop for like 20 minutes before put them in at 425 for about 40 minutes.

Some of the sides are a little soggy but that’s fine. For my FIRST EVER pies I’m happy.

I'm planning to just bake from frozen. I've never done this before though so I'm not sure!

lol I like that. Flood the zone.

in my building, we're allowed signs, so a bunch of us have Fateh signs up (I have Fateh and Davis and Aisha in my street facing windows).

hey just want to give you a reminder that if he doesn't get to class, that's his responsibility, not yours.

Your political speech shouldn't be suppressed simply because of economic circumstance/where you happen to live.

also it's really bad that landlords can just blanket ban political signage like that as it absolutely gives the false impression that one candidate has more support in the ward if that candidate is courting mostly property owners (cough cough frey and millard cough)

Part of my feeling on this is because in my building, I have the basement apartment right by the front yard, so I feel ownership of that space and would feel very misrepresented if one of my neighbors stuck a Frey or Millard sign there.

I need to proofread, apparently, lol. I mean when I see it in the yard, if it belongs to someone in that building, it's only one tenant or the landlord. It's unlikely that the entire building agrees on that one candidate.

It bothers me IMMENSELY when I see yard signs on clearly multiple use property because it likely only represents on tenant, not the entire building, and I do not want to misrepresented that way. At this point, I assume a yard sign for a larger building actually belongs to the landlord.

David Brauer @dbrauer.net · 8h

We should prohibit bans on renters putting up political signs in windows, since landlords can put them up on the property. In fact, I’d prohibit landlord bans on tenants from putting signs up on lawns.

i've been thinking about renters and political signs. focusing on the hornig companies and right move properties here since i know they ban them, and yet hornigs were the biggest contributor to we love mpls

YEAH. I found I got really irritated in the first couple of weeks because I was upset that the mask was now my life, but boy does the change in being able to sleep and feel rested make a difference.

Hex Anderson @dexanderson.com · 9h

I believe it was after that, so another confounding factor ignored.

Thanks for this! I'm not a stats person - I just know how to read studies and this one is very bad, lol. Appreciate the further in depth stuff!

I did not! I did spray the tin with pam, but you don't typically need to line a pie tin, so you wouldn't need to line a muffin tin for it. Pie dough has enough butter in it that it greases things quite well.

yeah i looked up the FIRE gender demo question earlier for hellsite screaming purposes and honestly i admire their restraint when they could be running with "🚨 CABAL IN SHAMBLES: SURVEY REVEALS ZERO STUDENTS IDENTIFY AS TRANS 🤯"

spreadsheet screenshot showing the gender demo question of the fire survey. options are "male," "female," and "gender non-conforming." also visible are two behind the scenes technical cells for for recording "not in survey" and "missing"
