"In Otanmäki, the disruption to nature and to residents’ daily lives is being vividly felt. When the trees were felled, the wolves who had lived there came to the village, said Anni Ranta, 53, whose family has lived there for generations." this feels like an A24 horror film premise somehow?

Carshare is a critical part of our transportation system. People rely on HOURCAR and Evie. The sudden sunset is devastating. Let decision-makers know you support emergency bridge funding to save carshare. savecarsharemn.org

it's on sight for the bounce house
This gap is less than it cost the mayor to put a bounce house in the warehouse district for a summer. This is 1/33 the cost of MPS's surprise overtime. They renovated Target Center in part by making us, the citizens, pay $74 million via a sales tax. WE. HAVE. MONEY. We can spend it in better places

Replying to @corbindewitt.bsky.social
we genuinely deserve better than the nonprofit model. it's not sustainable to constantly beg for money, risk losing what little you have to work with every time someone new is in office, and invariably offload costs onto consumers. it's not about the money! it's just an offensively weak system!
tapping the "local utilities subject to the whimsicality of government spending" sign so hard my fist goes through it
