@icy_pete @drdre4000 He has a tie dye lab coat, which has been my dream since I was 18 🤩🤩

@lindsayinMPLS Oooo, if you’re still at the U, you should apply for an assistantship in the center for writing 😍

@GoldfishFibers Swede midges are another gift of climate change. larvae basically destroy the plant at the growing points; broccoli, cauliflower is basically lost when that happens, collards can rebound, and they don’t like kale. The cities are seeing it first because of slightly higher temps.

@GoldfishFibers I am a collard and mustard green enthusiast for this reason. Down with the bolting greens, brassicas forever. Until the Swede midge takes them out 😭

[Jennifer Nicklay @JenniferNicklay]

@GoldfishFibers That is….impressively ironic.

@mmkocher B. Resale on Nicollet!

[Jennifer Nicklay @JenniferNicklay]

@GoldfishFibers THIS IS SO REAL. I had to live cheese free and fully covered for the first two weeks of July and it was not ideal

@katerina_gonz I’ve lost my shock value, cause my meetings now almost expect this out of me 😂

[Jennifer Nicklay @JenniferNicklay]

@GoldfishFibers You should totally come! The org I chair is one of them hosting this tour! Lots of cool people will be there! (And even if you can’t make it, I can get you in the loop for emails and such)

@ForrestFleisch1 I’d say 10 days, personally. If I were still taking classes, it would make me (as a fellow student) feel safer. For those with COVID, it also gets them past the 7-day mark; I’m still hearing a lot of people say they start feeling better day 5 but get way worse again on day 7/8

@OffalCute Honestly, i made the year my hand was in a cast the “summer of no bras.” It was good prep for COVID lockdown 😂.

[Jennifer Nicklay @JenniferNicklay]

@LDereske As a fellow midwesterner, I feel this deep in my soul 😂

@thektrain17 Same same 😪🫠

@GoldfishFibers My community garden keeps trying them, and peas consistently fail. we have managed lettuce, radishes, turnips, bok choy. We’ve been planting them in raised beds, which I think helps to have the soil temp bump a little before air temps, and using shadier areas for sun protection

@thektrain17 The Walgreens cashier checked my id when I bought benedryl and he said “I mean, I can tell you’re over 18 but we have to check….wait, OH WOW did not expect that third decade” 😂😂

@mmkocher My friend in south has a wildly abundant tree and has been looking for people to harvest it! DM me if you want me to connect you two 😄

@MichelleSPhelps Ah yes, super fun health care experiences abound. I went to CVS for my second booster and the pharmacist told me I didn’t qualify because the CDC didn’t list my specific conditions. Went to health partners 10 min later and they were like, “you’re good, here’s your poke!”
