The senate took fucking forever because the GOP took as much time as possible with other bills first so it wasn’t til like 1:00AM. But the senate passed our legal cannabis bill! Now it’s off to the Gov to sign.
I’m curious if Jesse Ventura will show up to the signing since Gov Walz invited him. 😂

Admittedly I’m old, but I’m not a fan of the shorts/hoodie. on the one hand i like our people representing us to be presentable, but as I've aged I've felt less strongly about this just as how it feels just a way for old white men to gatekeep. Also I'm still bitter i had to take the bar exam in a suit. AND that they explicitly state sin the dress code that pants were acceptable for women. 😡

klw I don't like it for the same reason it annoys me that Gym doesn't wear a jacket. Women legislators would catch all kinds of official hell if they broke the dresscode. Why are men allowed to? Yep if I’m gonna be mad at gym sock for flaunting the rules I’ll keep the same energy with everyone. I don’t even necessarily think it needs to be a suit but don’t look like you just rolled off the bball court. At least put pants and a polo on if you’re not on the floor or in committee. Let’s not pretend he can’t afford/doesn’t own a more professional style of dress. If he wants to door knock or talk directly with constituents dressed like that, 🤷♀️.

What’s the difference between talking to constituents at their door or via a news conference on tv though? I don’t get it. I can’t explain it. It’s an arbitrary line in my head. I’ll admit it makes no sense. But there are times and places for shorts and hoodies and there are times when you dress a bit better. I mean I’m not mad about it. But there’s a tiny part of me that just feels it’s somehow disrespectful.

I’m selfishly hoping the fact that Mn is out of the map range for hotter than normal will ring true. I can handle our cold as fuck winters. I cannot do that AND 90+ degree weather all summer long which is what it has felt like the last few years. I wither away in heat. Right!? Brutal NY winters and 90+ degrees. Not to mention summers here are humid AF too. I can do winter extremes, I can't do summer extremes. And NY is in range on that map. They're saying hotter and wetter for NY. I'll be crying in my AC house all summer, thank you very much.

Eh, I mostly don't care. I do think he should put a little more effort in than shorts and a hoodie as a national figure, but otherwise I find strict dress codes dumb on many levels.
I say this as someone who wears jeans and tshirts to my job basically every day, so grain of salt.

It's very odd to me that by moving to CT I'm actually in a worse "higher than normal area" than I would be had we stayed in NC. But surely climate change is fake 🙃 I tell you if it's hotter this summer in CT than in SoCal, I'mma gonna be mad.

I'll be grumpy if it's a super rainy summer. We are so ready for pool time.

I could not possibly care less about the shorts. Men are waiting for school buses with guns and half our country is melting. I mean. Goddamnit. I mean we still care about guests wearing white to weddings. We can care about both

I feel like Schrödinger's cat - I both care and don't care.

I mean we still care about guests wearing white to weddings. We can care about both I think it's an odd thing to care about when things are failing so deeply. But I also don't care about weddings much and think dress codes in general are odd and unnecessary. I’m not writing letters or starting petitions here. I just have an opinion that I “don’t love” it 🤷🏻♀️
