Didn't expect to get emotional watching a neighbor mow his lawn, but just a few months ago I watched with my heart in my throat as ICE surround his house. They only backed off because our neighborhood showed up in full force. Now there he is, out in the sun, completely in the open, unafraid 🥹

Ten years ago today, I moved to MN, making May 11 both Minnesota Statehood Day and the Day I Made Minnesota My State. No regrets 💙❄️

Appeal is back: the error was definitely mine. Minnesota Dept of Revenue is no Isaac Newton 🫠

Forgot to warn new neighbors from out of state about the awoo

Wait, Minneapolis, it's not Wednesday 🤔 #awooo

"Moon joy" is real, but it has an important lesson for us too: Public service and public life is a gift and something to treasure—the uncommon chance to do something for a cause bigger than yourself. www.doomsdayscenario.co/p/the-pure-j...

I wonder if the Artemis II crew stood up immediately when they landed, or if they had to wait to get their carryons like everyone else

Heat Shield for the win!! Heck yeah Aretmis!

We are all Pacha.

Watching the Artemis II livestream with my niblings. Me: "Isn't this so cool and historic? Wow!" Them: "Can you show us that video about flamingos?"

Affecting story about an immigrant girl in hiding in Minneapolis getting her period for the first time, not knowing what to do (and her dad not knowing what to do, either)

We found "the worst of the worst." It's ICE

When I moved to Minneapolis my favorite part of winter was people looking out for each other. Never valued that so much as I do now.

somebody put this to Yakety Sax

I spent a bunch of this evening picturing this Venn Diagram in my head. I feel like all my local peeps will understand.

So proud of Minneapolis right now and all the people rallying together for our neighbors. As always, ICE can go stick their tongues on a flagpole

Is there a way to unsubscribe from the "you've successfully unsubscribed" emails?

Across the Twin Cities residents are volunteering to make ICE’s job in Minnesota as difficult as possible. ICE watchers say the ultimate goal is to prevent ICE agents from arresting, jailing and deporting their neighbors.

Minnesota, here's a sign to show your support for Somali neighbors. Share it, print it, pass it on. **updated PDF link** PDF here >> www.dropbox.com/scl/fi/s89ru...

Minnesota exceptionalism is the pride and excitement we feel when we learn the hot new killer fungi is from Minnesota.

Happy Doctor Who Day! River Song says "have a banana."

Oh to be a headline writer covering #sandwichguy

The Louvre Heist was the palate cleanser I did not know I needed

WORLD CHAMPIONS! Canada won everyone's hearts. England won the silverware. Women's sport won everything. #redroses #rwc2025 #ENGCAN #CANvENG

There is no sport greater than women's rugby. Congrats #redroses!

81,885!!!! What a crowd for a women’s World Cup final 2nd biggest crowd in any world cup rugby final...men and women! That’s a massive middle finger to all those against women’s sport. #RWC2025 #RedRoses #RWC2025Final

I spotted a potential error on my property tax refund, and one voice in my head went "All those computers and brainy accountants couldn't possibly be wrong." The other voice went, "Newton's Principia had an error." So, we'll see...

My Brother in Spades, why are you bidding one when you have both the ace of diamonds and king of spades?

I cannot express what a weight off my mind it is to know that my home insurance includes coverage for volcanic eruptions.

Reaching the end of a very lengthy MRI prep questionnaire and suddenly fearful that maybe I DO have some unknown metal part floating around in my body.

Has anyone calculated the odds of a tornado happening at 1pm on the first Wednesday of a month?

What if, for some reason, the Bill of Rights included the right to keep rat poison in our homes? Then, over the years we decided this meant that we were all entitled to have stockpiles of poison and, eventually, weapons grade poison gas on hand at all times.

The Netherlands has more bikes than people. New Zealand has more sheep than people. We have more guns than people.

New historical evidence shows that Alexander Hamilton's last words to Aaron Burr were: "Ya done messed up A A Ron."

Here are four photos I took this weekend without leaving the boundaries of Minneapolis:

Just labeled a file "FINAL." Waiting for disaster to strike

I am thrilled this very hungry caterpillar has made a home on my milkweed plants, but super puzzled why it hasn't eaten any of the apple, pears, plums, strawberries, oranges, cake, pickles, cheese, salami, lollipops, pie, sausage, cupcakes, or watermelon I've put out for it. What gives Eric Carle?

So impressed by my Minneapolis neighbor who *still* had fireworks to set off last night. I would like to attain the level of self-discipline it must take to not use them all up on the 4th, but eke them out over the entire summer.

Mindfulness app narrator: "this breathing exercise helps you be at ease right here right n... *neighbor begins setting off artillery shell fireworks*

Hoping to join this study and I really appreciate the effort they took to come up with a useable acronym #longcovid

I'm so confused, it's not Wednesday at 1pm #mnwx

Despite warnings from the law enforcement not to attend today’s No Kings rally after this mornings shooting of Minnesota lawmakers with the killer on the lose, the No Kings Rally is happening at the Minnesota State Capitol in St. Paul.

DALLAS… 😆 💪🏽 www.instagram.com/reel/DKvtTtW...

Minneapolis ain't having it

One nation under Trump, divided, with liberty for the rich and justice for none.

Christmas tree lasted 'til yesterday. There is a distinct twinkly, happy void in the corner.

I was with a group who were welcoming a man from the Middle East reunite with his wife and daughter at the airport. They had been apart for three years. It was really lovely to see. Especially in the midst of Trump’s BS. The sign says “Welcome to America”. ❤️

Northside Luminary Light Up. Need all the light we can get these days! Love the ice fishing ice luminary. tinyurl.com/northsidelum...

Ever have on of those days where you think about King Saul needing a harp player to soothe him and you think, "Yeah, dude, I actually kinda get it."?
