They're called leaves for a reason.
  • Just remember that month suggestions online are for certain geographic areas. You might need to move them earlier or later. (The best rules I have seen is when nights are above 50 F in North America)

  • The election that will take place at the DNC to replace the chair will decide the policy direction of the Democratic party. Let your voice be heard!
  • Frankly more people were excited about Tim Walz then Kamala Harris. Let's get more MN politicians in there instead of people from the coasts. The focus on getting someone from the Midwest is the only good news I see. We need someone from Minnesota, Wisconsin or Michigan to lead the party from the inside. They might be fully progressive but understand how to organize and message to everyone. They can't just float by on politics as usual

  • AOC Asked People Who Voted For Both Her And Trump To Explain Why—And Their Answers Are Eye-Opening
  • Agreed. Run on change for the better. Higher minimum wages, universal health care, paid sick time, paid maternity / paternity leave. This will get votes because people want something better in their pocket books. Student loan forgiveness was a great policy to run on. If it wasn't blocked in courts it would have given a huge boost to Biden.

  • AOC Asked People Who Voted For Both Her And Trump To Explain Why—And Their Answers Are Eye-Opening
  • I know lots of people are really down on this but it seems like people just want change. We all know the system isn't working for most people right now and want something different.

    Trump is different. Bad but different. If you have little hope make sense to break everything. If there's a real progressive change candidate people will be excited. Change is what is needed

  • Young people are struggling to deal with their MAGA parents — again
  • My wife and I are not going to her side of family's Thanksgiving this year since they are full Trumpers. Not worth seeing them since we don't like them that much anyhow and they will be insufferable this year. We are in our mid 30s.

  • Portland’s ranked-choice debut causes voter engagement to crater; 1 in 5 who cast ballots chose no one for City Council
  • The first one is always hard. It does look complicated but with mail ballots should be doable. These are the kind of thing that take at least a few cycles to understand what is working and what is not.

    Reducing numbers or ranking the list by order would be helpful. I don't see any order in this list but that might be helpful

  • Sounds like a good plan.
  • The federal government is going to be gutted and destroyed. It's time to focus on local change. Nationwide isn't going to work for a while but focus on your city, your state, your block and your house. Live your values everywhere. Focus your attention on what matters and can be controlled

  • Featured
    Go make some friends
  • I feel like this is a great reminder that you can only really change what you can control. Live your life with your values. Get a job that makes you feel worthwhile if you can. Spend time with friends in real life and online who live the same life as you.

    Volunteer at local events and make where you live as best as you can. Focus on local politics and issues since you can control them more. Go out and make the world you want

  • I'm jealous of the life my wife has
  • It seems like you have a lack of appreciation both at work and at home. Asking for compliments from your wife would help this with your new transition. I would suggest you start with thanking her for taking these responsibilities beforehand and ask if you can get it back in return. Gratitude goes both ways and is infectious. Start with thanking her and see if she does it back if you are feeling like you can't ask.

    See if you can get some appreciate at work by asking for it from your manager or anyone else. This is more difficult since people are pretty thankless in their jobs as well. Similar tactics of thanks others might get you thanks at work.

    Dealing with the lack of thanks and gratitude is a complicated emotion to deal with. You will need to talk about it with the people who matter in your life. Some thanklessness is part of any job as well as being a parent and partner. But you should be able to ask for it and be appreciate it. I know I need lot more appreciation from my personal life if I am not getting it from my job.

  • I'm jealous of the life my wife has
  • It really seems like your job is a huge part of this problem. She has exciting new role energy for her job which has coordinate with her old job giving her praise. You on the other hand seem to be in a job that you either hate or don't like very much. You are jealous of what she has with her new role.

    I am going through the exact same thing with my job and my spouses job. She has an emotionally demanding helping profession job which is draining emotionally but she is great at it, loves her coworkers, has autonomy and does something useful for the world everyday. My job while much higher paying is a high stress and yet boring corporate job in which I get little praise and high complaints. I have been so jealous of her when she talks about work even when she is complaining. We have talked this through and I am going to find something better for myself but I understand the jealousy. I am both proud of what she does and jealous that it isn't me. Relationships are complicated like that and you need to understand each portion of it.

    You seem frustrated about the additional emotional labor and reasonability you are getting from her new job. This is highlighting how much emotional labor you have to put with at your job which you can't give to your home life and family. It is exhausting putting on fake and false face for your job. This need to hide everything at work and its getting you in the habit to hide at home. Look for a new job and talk with your wife about how her new job is bringing up these complicated feelings about your role. You got this but need to talk it out

    With most of the 7.5-mile stretch of the corridor in question being across the river, the Saint Paul City Council must pass something similar to oppose rebuilding and highway expansion. If you're a resident of Saint Paul, email your council member and ask that they pass a Rethinking I-94 resolution.
