Start with two and stop with two. It’s easier - they take care of each other.

UNIVERSITY OF MINNESOTA Office of the President Dear faculty, staff and students, Last night, the University reached an agreement to resume healthcare negotiations with M Physicians and Fairview, facilitated by a professional mediator.

The more I whisper "patron" to myself, the more it doesn't make sense.

Patron? PAYtrun.
Email to: director@hclib.org Subject: Ridgedale situation Hello, I am a patron of the Northeast Library (opening back up today), as well as a monthly donor to Friends of the Library. I am really shocked that the Ridgedale library would remove a book display about Palestine because a few people have traumatic-response feelings over seeing them. The presence of the Palestinian people is not a threat to Jewish Americans. To remove books that could educate people on what Palestine is and has gone through because some people got upset is disgusting. There are plenty of books I might find offensive at the library, so I don't read those. That is what this patron should have done. Self-censorship is one of the many first steps on the road to facism and book burning. I would expect Hennepin County Libraries to reinstate the book display, educate its staff and patrons about what happens when we censor books, and issue an apology to the patrons of this terrific library system.

What perfect album came out the year you turned 16?

This is pretty easy for me: Liz Phair, Exile in Guyville.

Listening to Florence + the Machine until my ears bleed, for science.

A light post in Denver. #AndreaGibson

Turns out that Denver is a good place to be when bad news (that passport stuff) hits.
Mural on the side of a building. Text says disability rights are human rights. The background has spray-painted flowers. It’s really beautiful, I wish you were here. A large mural on the side of a building. In the middle is a Black woman with a large afro. Text across her hair says power and equality. Text on the outside says power to the people. It’s a mix of red yellow and black. Lookout mountain, Denver. Large mountain range with a valley in between it. The sky is vast and blue. It’s absolutely beautiful.

Update:
Hey Jake thanks for writing. Has Jacob ended homelessness like he promised 5 years ago? Jake are you still there? Has Jacob Frey returned any of the donations from his recently indicted friend, Jonathan Weinhagen? You say you can answer my questions yet you do not reply. More fake promises by the Frey machine.
