PersephoneK, Uptown Underworld Goddess

After last night's events, I wanted to re-share this essay I wrote last year about my neighborhood, Uptown Minneapolis, and why I love it, or at least loved what it once was not so long ago. What is being allowed to happen is a travesty. persephonespath.com/minneapolis-is…

@Jibbs_Outlaw @schmeez_ @FOX9

@schmeez_ @FOX9 No it's not. You're just racist.

The Inver Grove Heights City Council will consider a resolution on Monday to take down Minnesota's new flag and fly the old state flag. fox9.com/news/inver-gro…

@FOX9 I wish we could all agree that both the old and the new flag are terrible.

@SummaVeritas @NortonMpls Other humans know. That is the difference.

@PersephoneK @NortonMpls I promise you the dog doesn't know or care that I called it a rat, which it does look like. And if anything, I feel bad for the dog... being treated like a human baby and fed ham and cheese and all kinds of other toxic human foods.

Minneapolis tulip house is in full bloom

@MinneapolisLib @NortonMpls No you didn't

@NortonMpls Last week I saw homeless people taking 💩 in the flowers 😠

@flabbergastone @NortonMpls Why not? The tulip house is an Uptown Minneapolis delight everyone should fine joy in.

@NortonMpls Why do you post this

@SummaVeritas @NortonMpls Do you really need to criticize the dog though?

@NortonMpls Mike doesn't care about political violence all of a sudden. But heaven forbid Ilhan sets up a fake hate crime with apple cider vinegar, then political violence is a BIG problem to Marxist Mike. Just a loser hypocrite pushing a rat in a stroller...

@JadeK526 Becoming an atheist because of an abusive religion in and of itself makes no sense. Ultimately one is an atheist because they believe in zero gods, not out of anger or revenge.

Actually, I'm an Atheist because of abusive Christians. My disdain for religion grows daily. Minute by minute,I become more and more disgusted. You're not going to win so you can stop. Have some boundaries and accept my no. I don't want religion in my life today,tomorrow or ever.

@BokononsProphet Are you insane?

Aisha Chughtai can’t go to Cuba to show support for people Trump is hurting, but Jacob Frey can go to a dinner celebrating Trump.

@acervohermione @acervodopotter Perhaps but sometimes arrogance and superiority complexes can blind one to weakness.

He should have known… because he used the same book that Hermione later used to learn more about Horcruxes — the books that Dumbledore hid in his office. Also, when Harry grabs the basilisk fang, Tom Riddle gets startled and tries to stop him for a split second, which means he did know.

Um fato que não dá para negar, Tom Riddle é infinitamente melhor, mais inteligente e astuto que Lord Voldemort.

@idk__nanmolla__ @x_GhXst_x @Tellusdiselecti @AriDrennen Non rude jerks would just tell me the questions. I see no questions you asked of me specifically. But since youre clearly an asshole you can fuck right off then. I tried to have a conversation but I'm out.

@PersephoneK @x_GhXst_x @Tellusdiselecti @AriDrennen I'm sorry, do you have amnesia or reading problems? look two responses up.

Trans women have an unfair biological advantage at beauty pageants now

@ToIkienverse I thibk so, yes

¿Soy el único que quiere y necesita un remake de El Señor de los Anillos?

@idk__nanmolla__ @x_GhXst_x @Tellusdiselecti @AriDrennen What question?

@PersephoneK @x_GhXst_x @Tellusdiselecti @AriDrennen whatever helps you sleep at night, but the way you're not answering my question just proves MY point.

@idk__nanmolla__ @x_GhXst_x @Tellusdiselecti @AriDrennen You're merely proving my point. Sideshow.

@PersephoneK @x_GhXst_x @Tellusdiselecti @AriDrennen this is still the topic. x.com/i/status/20484…

@acervohermione @acervodopotter Did voldemort even know at that time that basilisk venom could damage his horcruxes? In that moment Harry was essentially guessing. Riddle was worried for sure but did he really know?

@acervodopotter Tenho lá minhas dúvidas viu? O cara em uma Horcrux, dando mole perto de um basilisco - que tinha um veneno contra o que? Horcrux kkk

@ChantelleA33696 @jk_rowling @jayayf @KatHighsmith @KirstiMiller30 @thetimes What is poorly reasoned and flawed? JKR has been consistent in saying forced pronoun use is illiberal while personal autonomy over their use is fine. Forced sharing of spaces is bad. Voluntary interactions is fine. She seems consistently liberal.

@jk_rowling @jayayf @KatHighsmith @KirstiMiller30 @thetimes No one is lecturing you about how to think. Poor deflection. We're telling you we refuse to accept your reasoning for using wrong-sex pronouns, because it is fundamentally flawed.

I wrote this in @thetimes in 2022: “Rarely in politics is it easy to draw a direct line from a single policy decision to the harm it’s done, but in this case, it will be simple. If any woman or girl suffers voyeurism, sexual harassment, assault or rape in consequence of the Scottish government’s lax new rules, the blame will rest squarely with those at Holyrood who ignored safeguarding experts and women’s campaigners.” We knew women and girls were being placed in danger, we knew the Scottish government was planning to introduce measures that would make those dangers more acute, but women trying to make the government listen to their well-evidenced concerns were described by Sturgeon in her turgid memoir as ‘hysterical.’ thetimes.com/uk/scotland/ar…

@idk__nanmolla__ @x_GhXst_x @Tellusdiselecti @AriDrennen This conversation has nothing to do with Trump. You bringing him into the conversation says more about you than anyone else. Stick with the topic in the thread.

@PersephoneK @x_GhXst_x @Tellusdiselecti @AriDrennen oh it's very relevant to bring trump into the conversation, because instead of same outrage against him, i see support for him on her profile. selective outrage, hypocrisy, etc etc.

@Another_Berry @SrGuilerme @annebealeblanc What makes it psychotic? Its an empirical claim that may or may not be true but it seems absolutely plausible (and makes sense in the context of the whole thread).

@SrGuilerme @annebealeblanc i don't know if anything here screams 'transphobic' as much as 'psychotic'.

quem diria né boicote funciona e a vagabunda tá mentindo sobre ser trans ally pra lucrar e usar cada centavo pra exterminar toda pessoa trans da face da terra

@annebealeblanc You're ridiculous. She has never said anything that contradicts this statement. You just cannot understand nuance.

@HPBrasilSerie I agree it was a silly retcon.

Preciso confessar uma coisa 😅 Para mim o pior Plot Twist de Harry Potter é o Rabicho ser o Perebas. Primeiro que o Perebas é um ícone nos 3 primeiros livros. Sendo até legal as vezes que ele aparece ("rato inútil", mas super querido pelo Rony) Para então se revelar como um bruxo das trevas que ficou longos 12 anos na forma de rato de estimação? Sendo que ele simplesmente poderia ter ido pra qualquer outro lugar? Não compro a ideia de que ele queria informações sobre Voldy... Não consigo entender. Opiniões?🤔😅

@davefromcamp @LaTrishaVetaw Put an actual electable person on the ticket then. Go ahead. Try it.

You guys voted for the weird system where it's leftist lite and commie for mayor, meanwhile for city council you elect the most absurd people possible not concerned about being in business but kicking them out and opening bath houses. The social stigma of voting conservatives is so bad that you (mpls) would rather vote to destroy itself. Omar wins next mayor cycle

Sobering reality: declining downtown property values are shifting the tax burden onto residents, making our city unaffordable. Instead, my colleagues are focused on decriminalizing drug paraphernalia and a data center moratorium. It's time to get serious.
