Winter is coming and I'm still single with Callie McMillan
<p>This was an unexpectedly enlightening conversation about dating during covid (and winter). Callie had a bunch of suggestions for apps, friend set-ups, making Zoom dates less awkward and much more that had never occurred to me. I hope you learn as much as I did.</p> <p>Callie McMillan is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist at the <a href="http://www.mncouplescounseling.com/" target="_blank">Relationship Therapy Center</a>, a place dedicated to helping people grow in health and happiness in their important relationships. Through the integration of empirically informed couples therapy and a willingness to go beyond the normal bounds of couples therapy, Callie and her colleagues tailor their services to the needs of each individual client and relationship. Callie got her master's degree at the University of Wisconsin-Stout where she studied sex therapy in addition to systemic family and relationship therapy.</p>

The Minneapolis Department of Public Safety charter amendment, AKA "defund the police," with Naomi Kritzer
<p>In this episode, I talk to <a href="https://naomikritzer.com/" target="_blank">Naomi Kritzer</a> about the <a href="https://naomikritzer.com/2021/10/06/election-2021-minneapolis-charter-amendments-question-2-public-safety/#more-16082" target="_blank">Minneapolis Department of Public Safety amendment </a>to the city charter, AKA “defund the police,” that the people of Minneapolis will be voting on in November. We get into the history and the details of the proposed amendment (and why the Minneapolis city council currently can't share those details) and straighten out the misconceptions being paraded through the media as the country watches.</p> <p>Naomi Kritzer is a <a href="https://naomikritzer.com/naomi-kritzers-novels/" target="_blank">science fiction writer</a> who's also been writing about politics since sometime in the early 2000s. She started out just researching her own ballot, then sharing her notes with her LiveJournal friends, and expanded because people were interested in her opinions. She emphasizes that she has no particular qualification for this beyond strong opinions, solid skills at Internet research, and a blog. She lived in Minneapolis from 1995 through 2012, and now lives in Saint Paul. She has two children, one in high school and one in college, and currently has four cats.</p> <p>Naomi's books:</p> <p><a href="https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250165077" target="_blank">Catfishing on CatNet</a></p> <p><a href="https://us.macmillan.com/books/9781250165220" target="_blank">Chaos on CatNet</a></p> <p>Both books are usually available from <a href="http://dreamhavenbooks.com/" target="_blank">Dreamhaven </a>and from the current mail-order-only incarnation of <a href="http://www.unclehugo.com/prod/index.shtml" target="_blank">Uncle Hugo’s</a>.</p>
