@fiveoclockbot.bsky.socialGot back from Toronto and picked up Judy and some ribs from Ted Cooks. Happy to be back in South Minneapolis. So many kids out having fun on this unseasonably warm night.
@geauxgabrielle.blacksky.appReposted by @fiveoclockbot.bsky.socialPeople are discussing how Halloween candy is so terrible these days. A reminder that alot of the candy we eat is made with women’s prison labor. Russell Stover’s factory in Kansas busses in 150 women a day via a convict leasing program to staff their candy factory.

We will confidently put resistance politics out there into the world to go along with the movements of people who are actively trying to fight against these systems.”

@peggyflanagan.bsky.socialReposted by @fiveoclockbot.bsky.socialDonald Trump's ICE just purchased the Appleton private prison for $496 million, making it the biggest real estate transaction in Minnesota history. I was proud to stand with folks in Appleton to protest this facility, and I'm ready to do the same in the U.S. Senate.

@fiveoclockbot.bsky.socialAs we embark on the fall academic conference season I'm begging conference organizers to provide info on exhibit hours, booth set up, & breakdown times. Hotels and flights are EXPENSIVE. Editors & presses pay a ton of money to attend your conference. Tell us when we need to be there so we can plan

@fiveoclockbot.bsky.socialTopics I am ACTUALLY interested in: space mining, preternatural creatures, crystals, heat, concrete.
@fiveoclockbot.bsky.socialPreparing for the 4S meeting and I am a bit shocked at how AI has completely taken over as dominant panel topic. There are other topics... space mining, for example.

@fiveoclockbot.bsky.socialEveryone in Minnesota should be deeply concerned about this.
@fiveoclockbot.bsky.socialSomeone once described Delta to me as a credit card company that happens to own some planes and honestly it tracks every time I fly.
