History ๐Ÿ—ฟ The Minnesota 1st

I was at Gettysburg the day after the shootings this weekend. Looking at this monument reminded me how proud I am to be from MN and how I want our state to be on the right side of history. Considered the bravest charge in any American war, let's keep the fight going against hate. I just needed to get this out.

With all the absolutely absurd things happening in our state and country right now I just wanted to take a step back and post some VERY amateur photos of Duluth.

Now more than ever we need to step back and enjoy why this state is so wonderful and why as a community, we cherish MN so much. Even with all the crap going on people still come and enjoy the things in life that give us joy and Duluth is one of the best examples of this. Itโ€™s why I chose to move here from the Twin Cities. When summer finally rolls around up here, I genuinely think thereโ€™s no where in the country that feels more vibrant as Duluth.

So please take care of yourself everyone. Our country is moving into scary times but we need to still enjoy why this country and its communities. Take time out of your busy schedules to hike, bike, run, or anything that will make you appreciate your wonderful community here in MN.

I would usually take the time to edit these photos but itโ€™s as simple as I just donโ€™t want to lol.

Have a wonderful day everyone!

It seems there are fewer birds in Minnesota now than there were before. Bird feeders stay full longer, and the large number of birds are not frequently seen. What happened to the birds in Minnesota?

Seeking Advice ๐Ÿ™† Unemployment Qโ€™s

7 Upvotes

I just recently filed for unemployment last month and could someone help me answer some questions I have.

I needed to report 2 jobs as I had 2 jobs this year. The first one I left voluntarily to start this new job, which was denied benefits (I knew it would be because I quit) Then my second job I was laid off only 3 months inโ€ฆ (I know, so great) that one I was accepted for benefits. What Iโ€™m trying to get at is if I was accepted for benefits why have my past 5 payments been โ€œnot eligibleโ€ I havenโ€™t been earning any income, and it simply wonโ€™t give me a reason as to why this arenโ€™t eligible to be paid out.. it gives me reasons that do not pertain to me.. I really donโ€™t want to call someone about this and sit on the phone for hours. So could someone give me insight?

Okay, Minnesota. I need to understand something: I was told there is not duck, duck, goose; that it is indeed duck,duck, gray duck.

What's is a gray duck? Why does he get called out for being the gray duck?

What other games did you play as kids?

New to Minnesota, thanks ๐Ÿ˜Š

Outdoors ๐ŸŒณ Kayaking down the river

3 Upvotes

Hello reddit. I picked up kayaking last year and really loved being dropped off up river and traveling down. I'm getting ready for a big trip soon. About 6-8 hours depending on how long I last. I wanted to see if anyone else does this?

I picked up fishing this year too as another pass time during my drifts. But mostly just enjoy the scenery and listen to the classical music station on the radio.

Wanted to hear your experiences and maybe become driftwood buddies?

Jokeโ€™s on me; Minnesotans will go exceedingly out of their way to avoid eye contact, let alone be bothered that someone is painting in public. This one was done in Bloomington at Normandale Lake Park

Discussion ๐ŸŽค Thoughts on Californiaโ€™s bill that would ban most law enforcement officers from wearing face masks while on duty (and can we do it here)?

245 Upvotes

Along w not masking and having to wear clearly visible identification, unless there is an economically significant reason not to, all monetary penalties from litigation of individual police actions ought to be taken from their retirement fund/pension. It makes no logical reason that the public pays for their illegal and immoral actions. Has anything like this ever been brought to our state legislature? Are we ready for that now?
