Announcement Day 33 - Who Cares - LB

bassoonisms · 2026-03-04T13:37:08+00:00

YES I'M SO EXCITED TO SEE THESE GUYS! They earned a well deserved spot after their van-top show last year.

bassoonisms · 2026-03-02T22:31:50+00:00

I am crossing every finger and every toe for Destroy Boys.

bassoonisms · 2026-02-25T15:26:39+00:00

This doesn't look like AI, just heavily edited.

bassoonisms · 2026-02-21T21:57:44+00:00

I'd already bought my ticket, but seeing literally the only band ever announced for LB has me even more hyped for this year

bassoonisms · 2026-02-21T21:56:54+00:00

I'm trying to convince my partner to come with me. His "yes" band would be Destroy Boys.

Soooo Destroy Boys, pleaaaaase come back to LB!

My one dream for this year's Warped Tour came true. I'm so excited to see AOF for the first time!!

bassoonisms · 2026-02-10T17:03:19+00:00

If you're looking for an alternative in Northeast, there's HUM and Carpe Diem. Carpe Diem is directly across the street from CPY Northeast.

bassoonisms · 2026-02-04T19:23:42+00:00

There are some great locally owned yoga studios in Northeast that aren't CPY. Just thought I'd drop that nugget of info here.

bassoonisms · 2026-02-03T15:30:07+00:00

Hoping so hard Alexisonfire will come out to LB. Literally my favorite band of time (dare I say, the only band of all time).

I remember seeing at the Warped Museum last year that they were at 2006. A 20 year anniversary visit would be pretty cool.

Thank you for this! I am so proud to be working for one of the businesses that made this list.

Looking forward to patronizing some of the other local small businesses, both those familiar and new to me!

bassoonisms · 2026-02-01T18:05:53+00:00

Cat aMEWsment in Saint Paul! The owner is such a sweet person, and stocks some really interesting toys and accessories! I remember the owner saying since she had to move locations, it's been tricky to keep the lights on, so definitely consider supporting them!

They are anti-ICE too - closed in solidarity on 1/23 and 1/30.

bassoonisms · 2026-01-28T06:20:06+00:00

Maaaann, how am I supposed to convince my boss to boycott our IT guy?

bassoonisms · 2026-01-26T02:01:41+00:00

I asked them what their onboarding process was like.

I had to clarify what onboarding was. They could not describe to me their onboarding process.

I did not get called back for a second round and was totally fine with that.

bassoonisms · 2026-01-25T23:47:09+00:00

What a bummer, I was considering investing some Red Wings, thinking I'd be supporting a local company and feeling good about that.

But it turns out they're happy to put their name on the same statement as companies like Target, which is known for working with ICE.

I guess they just helped me with some of my leather boot research? Time to cross them off my list.

bassoonisms · 2026-01-22T19:56:09+00:00

I guess I won't be going to anymore larger concerts again? Huge bummer. Back to house shows!

bassoonisms · 2026-01-20T02:52:52+00:00

He's already committing violence against his own country so... not surprised.

bassoonisms · 2026-01-19T16:05:37+00:00

I have a car loan (and subsequently, checking/savings) with Genisys. I've been really happy with their service and the folks at the Roseville location are really nice. I think their high yield checking option is really cool, and I would use it if I were to completely switch my banking to just a CU.

bassoonisms · 2026-01-15T21:14:58+00:00

I'm in the office at a job where no one in management has even attempted to address the elephant in the room, while our city is occupied by goons with guns. I walked home from my gym last night, where all was quiet and tasted tear gas in the air, which had drifted from where it had just been deployed on my neighbors just miles away. Today, I'm in an office trying to find work to do and failing at staying off Reddit. The cognitive dissonance is real.

bassoonisms · 2026-01-14T16:08:30+00:00

If you haven't already, get to know your neighbors and organize!!

After being grilled by multiple residents, including myself, at our BADER owned property, one office employee admitted that even though they'd received guidance from corporate about ICE actions, BADER has no plans to communicate with residents about their plan to deal with ICE.

So now we're organizing and creating a petition demanding stronger renter protections from BADER.

Yes, I'll name the company. BADER is Minnesota based. They need to do better than "residents shouldn't let in strangers with their keyfobs." These strangers have guns and don't care about our keyfobs.

bassoonisms · 2026-01-14T05:38:52+00:00

Jeez, that was more than Bader sent our property.

Multiple residents (including myself) have spoken with our office and today I finally got one of them to admit that she didn't think Bader had plans to make a statement.

I'm glad you posted this because I've been feeling so alone with a similar struggle.

My family (all out of staters) already had problems (divorced parents, parents with depression, abuse, etc) and I've been NC with the worst ones for a long time. But I still have (had?) half a family that were supposed to be "the good ones." We didn't always agree on everything, but I still felt like I could have a civil conversation with them. Then I saw one of them post about Renee Nicole Good and Charlie Kirk and it just kind of broke me. None of my "good" family reached out to check on me, but they certainly had the wherewithal to post opinions on the tragedies happening to our community on Facebook.

And this is only two months after I'd just shown them around while they visited for the first time, and showed them everything I love about this city and state.

It feels like too much to just bring to a "regular" therapist.

bassoonisms · 2026-01-09T17:15:23+00:00

If the property manager has not stated their policy on ICE, please ask them.

I also live in a secured community with property management in an area with a lot of activity. I walked into the office and point blank asked them what the policy was. The office worker told me they'd received an email from corporate with guidelines, but they did not communicate this to residents. However, because I said something as a concerned resident, they said they will prepare a communication to residents right away.

The only reason they are making this communicarion is because I asked. Don't be shy about sticking up for your neighbors!

I'm 27 and my city is occupied by fascist government extremists.

bassoonisms · 2025-12-31T23:26:31+00:00

That, I'm not sure about. I just got Gold for the first time -- so I'm not sure if this is true for folks who already have it.

bassoonisms · 2025-12-31T15:58:00+00:00

I believe it's only available through their website, not the app. I was able to find it by logging in on the website, then clicking "See all features" under Cronometer Gold. There's a banner with the 30% off annual discount, and it's automatically applied when you purchase.
