@johnedwinmason.bsky.social obvs I always think of you when I see anything Gordon Parks related
Leaving the Twin Cities in the morning 🥹 and I feel like there’s a lot of things I haven’t seen because we haven’t had a car, but the pro-immigrant message has been so strong, and I have learned so much about Minnesota, that I can see why so many people are moving here. This was such a fun trip.
There have been fliers around all week for a local trivia company, so we went to a trivia night tonight at a cool little bar; but ffs, a former evangelical and an engineer really need a third person for the music categories 😅😭
I thought the full size Titanic museum in Belfast was the tallest building of this type of architecture, but I cannot explain to you just how much bigger the Vikings stadium is. It’s like 100 ft taller, and it’s just enormous. It’s annoying how cool it looks.
We found this cool art park, and did you guys know, it’s possible to have cool public spaces that also have bathrooms, water fountains, and cool playgrounds? Imagine. 🤯. Also nice that it seems to be in between a couple of low-income housing complexes. Everyone deserves nice things!
The smoke in Pittsburgh is so bad holy cow. Sky at 12:30 vs 3:30, and what it was on Sunday from the same bridge
Pittsburgh’s idea of putting fries and good coleslaw on sandwiches was brilliant
ahhhhh! We had decided to go to a Pirates baseball game on Sunday because everyone told us how great the stadium is. We just saw who the pitchers are and 😍😍😍. This is going to be so fun.
I think it’s so funny the Sims 4 loading screen has had this up for a couple days 😂
I still miss seeing fireworks directly over my head, but for this setup, the baseball field at PVCC is fantastic
I’m in Michigan for the weekend and omg my mom has baby ducks that hatched last night! 😍😍 and one went to sleep in my hand 😍
I just can’t get past this map and the proposed location. It’s so upsetting.
If the courts don’t remove these sentences, a pardon has got to be part of any presidential campaign. This is one of the most unjust things I’ve ever read.
Another plug for looking up the closest “Broadway in your city” and getting a subscription. It’s a great way to see a fair amount of these shows. I’m mostly excited for next year’s season here. (Every city has a somewhat different schedule) Get those balcony seats on the aisle with the leg room 🤗
My daughter wanted an aesthetically pleasing dinner with her friends for her grad party. She thrifted all the plates and tablecloths. Everyone came dressed in nice dresses and she wrote them each a letter 🥹 it’s so gorgeous
