After the Mayor vetoed the Labor Standards Board, he had a letter read out loud in our council chambers where he said he would bring a proposal forward together in January 2025 with a unified vision and that the work “doesn’t end here."

It’s October. He didn’t. He lied again.

Minneapolis is a union town! Workers deserve a living wage and an affordable home. Mayor Frey turned his back on workers when he vetoed the Labor Standards Board and proposed gutting co-enforcement. As Mayor, I'll champion workers, and ensure our workforce can stay in Minneapolis.

Oh, so: 30 years ago. And it's one of my earliest memories! It was formative!!

I was 4 or 5. I was at a beach near Anna Maria Island in Florida. I was hungry. Grandpa walked with me and we waited through the very long food stall line so that I could get a hot dog.

I didn't get a single bite before a seagull swooped down and stole it.

I will never forgive seagulls.

What meaningless thing/experience are you still mad about? Like it should not matter at all, DOES not matter at all. But you’re still MAD.

And how long has it been?

I bought some bagels at Hy-Vee four years ago. So bad. Too big. Hard. Bland. WORTHLESS.

I’m still FURIOUS.

We're within $500 of hitting our goal! Who's going to put us over the top?

Help Boneshaker Move to Our New Home!

After fourteen years in our current space, we have made the decision that it’s time for Boneshaker Books to move. While we treasure the time we've spent in Seward, and will miss existing as a communit...

Conservative: I have been censored for my conservative views

Me: Holy shit! You were censored for wanting lower taxes?

Con: LOL no...no not those views

Me: So....deregulation?

Con: Haha no not those views either

Me: Which views, exactly?

Con: Oh, you know the ones

Maaaaaybe one day. I'm a pretty decent lyricist, I think... but I'd need voice lessons and a lot more piano practice before I even made a demo. I haven't been able to make music composition a priority in my life. Eventually, maybe.

primevil @primordial.bsky.social · 19h

I wrote this one love song to Jesus like ~20 years ago. About 5 years ago, I rewrote it to be about... my inner demon, basically, lol.

So I'm practicing the Jesus one and seeing what I can work out for a key shift on The Beast.

But today's particular bullshit is my own music. I received advice recently to put backing music to my sung lyrics. Most of it *has* backing music, I'm just not very good at playing the backing music either, lol.

primevil @primordial.bsky.social · 19h

lol well. I had ten years of lessons. This does not make me good at anything. I got back into traditional practice a couple of years ago, but then... things happened.

I can play the first out of four pages (55 secs here) of Aerith's theme. I find that pretty fun.

This keyboard might actually be old enough to drink by now.

(Which is good, because I've probably spilled drinks on her several times already lol)

(Which is funny, because one of the first songs she helped me compose was about dad's alcoholism)

(No, you can't hear it)

If your first response to seeing someone share a picture of themselves to social is to text them asking if they lost weight because they “look so good” and “your face looks better, keep it up” go to therapy or directly to jail.

Don’t do this.

Back on a rare variety of my bullshit

It is an image of a Yamaha PSR E403 piano keyboard sitting on my bed. I think it's like twenty years old. The acrylic keys used to be white; they've yellowed to about the same shade as my pale yellow sheets.

Rumors of my catgirl-ness have been somewhat exaggerated

primevil @primordial.bsky.social · 20h

guess I wasn't hungry, though
now you're just some pizza that I used to know...

It is a photograph of failure. A clever observer would see exactly what happened here: I tried to balance a paper plate with two leftover pieces of air fried Kirkland pepperoni pizza... atop a mug of coffee. I dropped the pizza onto the sad vinyl grey floor and spilled coffee on both floor and pizza. You can see a fluffy tortie cat in the background. I think she got a lap or two of coffee. I'm sure she'll be fine but she's extra zoomy right now.

Also, I lied. I AM hungry. I miss the pizza that I used to know.

Having a sister less than two years older than you is like being born into the world with the message, "Congratulations! Your first best friend is already here waiting for you!"

I miss my first best friend.

It's calming down. Like, sure, I'm in the midst of a breakdown and existential crisis right now, but it's only ONE crisis! Plus, it's my first one in like two years! That's not so bad!

Basically everything from June 2021 to December 2023 was a shit-show in ways I can't list out because the only responses are shock, pity, or disbelief, and I don't really want any of that, lol.

What do you mean I "hoard boxes," do normal people not keep at least one closet full of empty boxes because they know they're statistically likely to need them anytime in the next year?
