I just left a gathering of BIPOC folx who are trying to form friendships with one another. It was a great time but…where were all the men?

Got commended by a Met Councilmember this evening for my recent reporting on the Blue Line Extension’s environmental report. He said he had trouble finding the project’s impacts on VMT and GHG, and the article helped him find it.

But also, if I wanted to do something with someone, I'd hit up a friend, right? If I wanted to cuddle with someone, I'd hit up a friend who feels comfortable doing that, right? Is it just for the sex?

Existential question for you all, as it's been something I've been thinking about lately. Why do you date? I have my reasons for dating, but I find I like being alone for some of the things I do?

Just saw what appeared to be two tourists board the northbound Orange Line at 2nd and 11th. They tried to pay but couldn’t. This pick’s brochure says rides are free in the Downtown Zone but they plan to make the OL drop-off only next pick for messaging consistency.

I’m not sure if the Burnsville Heart of the City station Go-To card readers have clocks that are incorrectly set, or if tagging my card on MVTA Connect kills all existing transfers on my Go-To card.

Great day to be stranded in New Prague because the Transit Link bus drove right past you despite valiant efforts to flag it down 🙃 A ride is in the works. And thankfully the library is open after-hours with a registered library card.

The project would also displace people, be built over questionable geologic formations, and subject residents to slightly louder noises and vibration (an impact the feds deem "severe") as trains whiz by as fast as 40mph www.minnpost.com/metro/2024/0...
