is Minnesota okay? there is no coverage on you guys anymore

As a community we will always be okay. but as a state right now - no we are still not okay.

ICE is still here. They aren't as visible but they are still here disrupting lives with their cruelty. Mutual aid networks are still operating. People are still hiding in their homes. But we don't have helicopters patrolling every night.

the fact that we only have “herculean task” and “sisyphean task” feels so limiting. so here’s a few more tasks for your repertoire

icarian task: when you have a task you know you’re going to fail at anyways, so why not have some fun with it before it all comes crashing down

cassandrean task: when you have to deal with people you KNOW won’t listen to you, despite having accurate information, and having to watch them fumble about when you told them the solution from the start (most often witnessed in customer service)

feel free to chime in i ran out of ideas much faster than i anticipated

Promethean task: opposite of a Cassandraean task. You have the right information, and SOMEONE has to share it. But it's all in the delivery and if you're the person to identify the problem you WILL be hated forever.

Oedipal Task: (1) Attempting to avoid an unspeakably awful outcome and in doing so creating the circumstances that will bring it about. (2) Trying to solve an problem and discovering that you are in fact the problem you are trying to solve.

theoppositeofprofound

Odyssean task: you’ll complete it but it’ll take 20 times longer than it should and involve multiple side quests and mini-adventures

Ah feel 'sif an Odyssian task is basically a poor sod mid ADHD

haarlow

A Pandorean task - just the act of starting it unleashes all manner of disasters.

cyranope

damoclean task: the thing you've been putting off long enough that it becomes a constantly hanging doom over your head

pyrrhic task: you can get it done but it's going to cost you

medean task: you can get it done and you don't care what it costs you

dionysian task: task that might not be -better- if you do it drunk, but -will- definitely be more fun

hegelochic task: it was a simple job, but your name will be recorded in the annals of history for how impressively you fucked it up

task of theseus: a project for which the parameters have changed so many times that you're not sure it IS still the same task

gordian task: ok technically there Is a Right Way to do this but it's going to be fiddly and awful and take forever and what if. what if you just said fuck it. and started slicing

Ghent, Belgium 🇧🇪

Ghent was founded in the 7th century when two important abbeys were built by the missionary Saint Amand. Because the city is located at the meeting point of the Scheldt and Lys rivers, it quickly became an important trading center.

During the Middle Ages, Ghent grew into one of the largest and richest cities in Europe, mainly because of its powerful textile industry. At that time, it was even larger than cities like London and Paris.

Ghent was also an important political center. In 1500, the famous ruler Charles V was born there. Later, the city experienced conflicts with Spanish rulers during the period of the Eighty Years’ War.

Today, Ghent is known for its well-preserved medieval architecture, canals, and landmarks such as Gravensteen and Saint Bavo’s Cathedral.

Chips - UK style (chunky)

Remaining time: 1 day 17 hours

I'm in a little local cafe and the women behind the counter started griping to each other, "Oh Christ, Stephen's back again," "It's him, is it? I thought he'd stopped coming," "It's definitely him, look, it's bloody Stephen on a Thursday morning," "Do you want me to get rid of him or are you going to do it?" and so I was peering outside, trying to spot this nightmare customer, this pestilence of a person, this pox upon the cafe trade, and then one of the women from behind the counter ran outside, clapping two trays together loudly and yelling "GET OUT OF IT, STEPHEN!" and it turns out that Stephen is an absolutely gigantic fuck-off seagull who hangs around outside, menacing people for crumbs
