She kind if gained traction in the Minneapolis scene so not too surprising. Eventually she went from play Atmosphere’s music festival to headlining every major festival.

Truly uplifting and not a borderline r/aboringdystopia post (unlike a lot of stuff on this sub.) I love it!

LOVE her and her positive messaging. Saw her in concert a few months ago with my friend and her daughters. It was their first concert and she was amazing.

b) You're not from around here. Are you?
When it's below zero and you're cold, when it's Friday and your work week sucked, then this is the comfort food you are looking for. It pairs well with both Mt. Dew and Pouilly Fuisse.

The Midwest loves their casseroles. I’m just sorta proud I pieced “tater to hot dish” together and then googled what it was.

It started a few years ago, and of course Plowy McPlowface was one of the names chosen in the first round.

Her music isn't completely my jam, but she seems very wholesome to me.

ACKSHUALLY
Osseo has a junior high (7-8-9) and senior high (10-11-12), not a middle school.
While we’re on the subject, junior high always made way more sense to me than middle school. 6th graders shouldn’t be in the same building as 8th graders. And 9th graders shouldn’t be in the same building as 12th graders.

I am helping with a bridge engineering contest for middle and high school kids, and one of the "team" names (it's just one kid) was Truss Issues. I thought that was clever.
Arki83 t1_j8g2shh wrote
There is no such thing as casseroles in MN, only hot dishes.
SwitcherooU t1_j8g360m wrote
Shit, meant to say 8th. Frankly nobody should be in the same building as 8th graders. We’re all terrible little goblins at that age.
IcelandIII t1_j8g3o6s wrote
Yeah 6th to 8th is so different. I just think it's nice splitting 8th and 9th up, those are the two absolute worst years. I wouldn't wish it on anyone to have to teach both.

I’m taking my oldest to his first concert this year. And it’s to see Lizzo! Glad to hear you had a great experience!

In my defense, I've never heard the term hot dish (from Seattle). Been eating tater tot casserole my whole life and it's one of my favorite meals!
Sarabean77 t1_j8g5ecx wrote
Lizzo is the only newer music I consistently listen to. Absolutely love her!
radj06 t1_j8g5u94 wrote
It's the best when you have an end of season sports banquet and you have 15 different people's versions of a hot dish, a few lasagnas and a couple crock pots full of things.
PandFThrowaway t1_j8g5vup wrote
Personally I liked how my district did it back in the day. Elementary:1-4,intermediate:5-6,middle:7-8,high:9-12. It seemed to make sense but I think they’ve changed it up recently.

Middle_Aged_Mayhem t1_j8gezf6 wrote
I understand now. Thanks for the explanation
SerfnTurf t1_j8gfjet wrote
It does not. I work in the district and while the high school is technically Osseo Senior High School, the middle school is Osseo Middle School. The high school has grades 9-12. The middle school is 6-8. I am confused where this info is coming from. Feel free to search Osseo School District ISD 279 and check for yourself. I voted on this very contest last week when our middle school science teachers shared it to the district.

What a weird thing for the other commenter to correct but be totally wrong about lol you'd think the only people who'd point out that kind of thing would have first hand knowledge. Did they just pull it out of their ass?

Fair. I like her music, but I love that you respect her just for being nice. :)
SwitcherooU t1_j8gj4sf wrote
Oh wow, it must’ve changed. I went there, albeit many years ago now. Back when I attended, it was called Osseo Junior High and it had 7-8-9. Looks like the whole district changed over. Unfortunate.
OwlrageousJones t1_j8gl785 wrote
Clearopathra is my absolute favourite because in my opinion, it's the cleverest of them.
Most of the others rely on a very simple one word swap or pun - but Clearopathra is something I could never come up with.

Wait they named a snowplow after Lizzo?
patheticfallacies t1_j8iydbp wrote
Because she spent a piece of her early music career/life in the Twin Cities.
And because it's Minnesota in winter.
patheticfallacies t1_j8iyzc0 wrote
Almost every middle/junior high everywhere has grades 6 through 8 now. Some may still buck against the norm, but that is the norm.
And junior highs are shifting into middle schools except if combined with high schools in the same building.

Sort of yes. Many people add cheese. It normally contains cream of something soup. It is absolutely delicious. I use a mixture of two soups.
SerfnTurf t1_j8k36e1 wrote
Yeah when the class sizes are too big they do that. My guess is you were there before all the high school additions that were added to accommodate the 9th graders. We have a 2nd and 3rd floor now in only ONE area that are not a complete circle but a U shape so traffic is terrible. Maybe you were there before the entire East wing was built too.
