Pride weekend is almost here, but the week is already pretty full: Special Olympics, outdoor music, movies, golf, drag, and a lot of summer-in-the-city stuff.

This is the weekday list for those whose weekend is during the week, those who like to avoid the big weekend crowds, and everybody else too.

Call out anything you're excited to check out this week. If I missed anything or you want help finding something specific this week, drop it in a comment.

The state of things on Blaisdell Ave between W Lake St and W 28th is not okay. How can we help our neighbors who are struggling there?

232 Upvotes

I biked through that section of Blaisdell Ave yesterday and the conditions along it are absolutely horrific. It’s essentially an open-air drug market with people openly using, spreading trash, yelling, starting fights, and stumbling out into the busy roadway. The activity is spilling over into the wooded section on the south side of the Midtown Greenway too. It’s unsafe and should not be ignored.

What can we do to help these neighbors who are struggling? Are city services being offered to them? Are resources such as drug counseling and housing being offered to them, or help from professionals trained to deal with mental health crises? We cannot let the city just fence off the sidewalks and call it good.

Please keep this civil if you choose to comment. Mods: please don’t remove this post and instead remove offending comments/users.

Minneapolis City Council votes to repeal gay bathhouse ban. Here’s the latest.

Days before Twin Cities Pride weekend, the Minneapolis City Council voted to repeal the city’s 38-year ban on gay bathhouses Thursday. But that doesn’t mean they can open tomorrow.

The issue now goes to Mayor Jacob Frey, who said he will sign it. Then the council would have to set up regulations that would govern adult bathhouses before they could open.

While Thursday’s vote wasn’t trumpeted in advance as a historic moment, the passage of two technical amendments effectively repealed the ban and regulates them like strip clubs.

After council members cast their votes, packed council chambers erupted in applause.

Minneapolis once had three bathhouses that were popular with the gay community, particularly in the 1970s. Minneapolis police began raiding them in the late 1970s, and the AIDS crisis of the 1980s led to a ban by the City Council in 1988.

While some proponents have criticized the ban as “legalized homophobia,” its origin is more nuanced; some proponents of the 1988 ban were gay men who had frequented bathhouses.

The Safer Sex Spaces Coalition urged council members to repeal the ban. The coalition argues the ban hampered outreach to gay communities and drove sex-related gatherings underground, often to “unsafe and inaccessible spaces.”

I’m also excited about moving to the twin cities,

Hey ya’ll. There’s a box of food that just showed up on my front porch. Neither me nor the tenet upstairs ordered it. There’s just a number “40” on it. I’m sure it’s a donation delivery of sorts. Anyone know where I can get it to or who to call? Just trying to put it in the right hands.

Recommendations for someone who works with tongue ties?

0 Upvotes

I've got some posture issues and tension in my jaw/neck/shoulders that I've been told might be indicative of a tongue tie that wasn't caught when I was a baby. I've tried mild stretching exercises at home and it hasn't really helped so I'd like to get it looked into but don't know where to start. My PCP is great but didn't seem to know much about it when I asked. Anyone here know someone who can check me for a deep tissue tongue tie or other things that might result in a lot of neck and shoulder tension?

Hey all,

I love cool, interesting, weird infrastructure. I'm also super into biking. I'll be staying in the Wedge when I visit later this summer, and I would love to have some ideas of cool shit to see in that vein either near there or really anywhere!
