Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool 😎

Aurora-spotting tips from a lady who absolutely does not have a meteorology degree but who has spent a fair amount of time tracking the Aurora to blow the minds of kiddos as a canoe guide/camp director 🌌: - Download the Space Weather Live app (it’s free with ads but they’re chill and I’m cheap) 🧵

The Aurora do be Aurora-ing tonight. As seen from our backyard in Northeast Minneapolis ❤️

Today in migraine postdrome: - Spent no less than 30 seconds trying to recall the word ‘soup’ - Picked up and uncapped a sharpie and then immediately dropped it tip-first on my pants because the motor skills aren’t motor skilling again yet - Tried to answer the calculator instead of the phone 🫠🫠🫠

Nadja loves the day the big maple tree in the front yard finally drops its leaves 🌬️🍁

Eves always enjoys getting scritches while using the scratching post. #stretchscratchskritch #thedustballs #catsky #rescuecats

I am way behind on my prep for Extra Life this year, but Evie still thinks you should make a donation. Even a donation of $5 or $10 helps sick kids. www.extra-life.org/participant/...

Join us 4-6 pm to watch 6 intrepid Halflings just trying to exist, meanwhile, the dark lord rampages across the world. They do not care about this. They are just trying to farm potatoes. It’s time for POTATO the One-Page #ttrpg as part of @extralife4kids.bsky.social!🥔🥔🥔 Twitch.tv/knownworldun...

Of Monsters And Men at The Palace Theatre for my half of ‘ @thatwordyguy.bsky.social & I buy each other tickets to concerts we both want to see for our birthdays this year’ 🖤

Shoutout to ‘On this Day’ for the reminder that 18 years ago today I was biking home along Lake Superior during the Gales of November and blew off my bike into a man’s hedges and he shooed me off while I was looking for my shoe because he thought I was drunk & then I had to pedal home with one shoe

The great thing about being a lady that always buys far too much cheese to serve at a party is that sometimes it’s 10:15 pm and you’re feeling a bit peckish and then you remember you have a lovely hunk of blueberry-studded Wensleydale in the fridge 🧀

This @extralife4kids.bsky.social offer still stands, folks! Help poor Sticker Wizard™️ pare down their collection of #ttrpg, #rpg, cute animals, and even some sparkly stickers and help sick & injured kiddos at Gillette Children’s right here in the Twin Cities in the process! 💙💚💙

Who doesn’t love getting fun snail mail?! 😆 Give $12+ to help sick & injured kids any time today and Sticker Wizard™️ will hand-select & send you one of the cool nerdy stickers in their collection! 🧙🏻✨💌 www.extra-life.org/participants...

Just found a Bonus Word in today’s Squaredle that was so bonus-y it just went “Eff you, look it up in the dictionary”

Nadja is having a great night, thanks for asking.

At least if we have to put up with four more years of Frey 🤢, we can take some solace in the fact that we’ve got some progressive powerhouses coming to the city council and the park board. Give him hell, folks!

Thank you, Ward 1! This strong vote of confidence is an affirmation of the work we’ve done together these last 4 years. I can’t wait to continue serving you for the next 4 years as your City Council Member.

After you've voted in your municipal elections, promote democracy in the workplace by getting a couple friends to sign this letter in support of Indeed union workers!

It’s a beautiful day to ensure Jacob Frey is no longer our mayor! 🌞🍁🗳️

Just for Election Day funsies, where is your polling place? Bonus points for unique ones! We vote in Premise, Inc’s warehouse space. They’re an electrical installation company, so there’s big rolls of cables and lots of posters on how not to get electrocuted on the job.

Read this. And then rank @dewayneforminneapolis.com, @omarfatehmn.com and @jazzformayor.bsky.social. That's my order; yours may be different. But Jacob Frey should not be on your list.

In honor of 11 years of @extralife4kids.bsky.social here’s an unhinged photo of me as an Owlbear. If you’d like to be rad & help us help sick & injured kids at Gillette Children’s through the power of nerdery & #ttrpg, please consider a donation! Thank you! 💙💚 www.extra-life.org/participants...

Time change be damned. The Breakfast Sandwich Inspector is still out here working.

Winner of 13th Ave Trick-or-Treat Stroll by A MILE was the kiddo dressed as the @metrotransitmn.bsky.social #4 bus, complete with working lights! 🚍

If you’re in Northeast Minneapolis and have kiddos, come on out to 13th Ave Neighborhood Trick-or-Treat this afternoon for one last blast of Halloween! 🎃 We have so many participating businesses this year and it’s always a super fun time! 🥳

Tonight is our horror film-themed house party, so remember, “Bad luck to kill a seabird” 🌊⚓️🛟

Happy cutie vintage sweater clip season to all who celebrate! 🥳

Because even skellies enjoy a yap sesh over coffee. Happy Halloween to all you skyline spooky souls! 🎃💀🕸️🦇🖤

I only managed to accidentally crack and activate 6/100 glow stick bracelets for trick-or-treaters while putting the little connector doohickies on. I think that improves on my record of last year by about 10.

New Betty Benedeadly! “A wild ride through the West—spurs sparking across neon sand, ghost bells ringing in the dead of night, and a shuffle that slips between centuries. Time-Bent Country Noir in swirling, psychedelic bliss.” - Put it directly into my veins. cowboyspice.bandcamp.com/album/static...

Extremely blessèd NE Mpls sighting this morning: Guy dressed as a circus ringmaster, top hat and all, riding a tall bike with a dog kennel on the back. In the kennel? Two good-sized fluffy brown dogs with lion haircuts.

My klutzy ass just misjudged a turn around a corner and slammed my whole left side directly into a wall, but now the sciatica I woke up with is somewhat better? 🤷🏻‍♀️ Bodies are weird, man.

If you’re looking for the perfect spooky soundtrack for handing out candy, your weekend costume party, or just a creepy evening in, my husband’s got you covered 🎃

Sleepytime scritches skyline cleanse 🌜

Change one letter, ruin a candy. Sharties

They are doing Trick-or-Trunk at the neighborhood clinic across the street from the shop and there is a tiny child dressed like a taco walking a chihuahua dressed like the Fire sauce from Taco Bell. Excellent, no notes.

Guillermo del Toro does it again! Frankenstein was brutal, beautiful, and brilliant.

For just $16, you, too, can spend 90 minutes frolicking with some lovable llamas. Excellent Autumnal activity. Highly recommend. 🦙🌞🍁

If you see this post a vampire who isn’t Dracula

I agreed to go see Four Humors TC Horrorfest show ‘Terms’ with friends tonight and it will be 100% worth it, Four Humors is always fantastic, but it’s a 10:30 performance and damn I’m going to have to really psych myself up to go out that late when I’m already under a cozy blanket on the couch 🫠

In honor of spooky season, allow me to share this 18th century library where bats guard the books for anyone who is unaware of these hardworking little book guardians 🦇📚💙 www.atlasobscura.com/articles/lib...

The new Of Monsters and Men album ‘All Is Love and Pain in the Mouse Parade’ is really, really good and if you need a break from *gestures broadly* all of this, I highly recommend you pop it on and just mentally drift away for a spell 😌

Thanks for this delicious cup of coffee, Keurig. Appreciate it.

I was not prepared for the level of visuals Purity Ring was going to bring to First Ave tonight. What an incredible show! ✨✨✨

What’s it like inside your head?
