Doesn’t this photo of the aurora from last night look like some sort of angel blowing fire wind or something?

This webcam from up in Ely, MN is a good place to be at the moment! www.youtube.com/watch?v=CevQ...

Historic Christy Flop is a dance I made up in case I ever got to try out for The Gong Show in second grade

I ran into two unofficial dog park friends on my walk this morning and neither of them mentioned my one sock out situation, which I just now noticed. (I did have sneakers on outside but that is no excuse for them)

We finally achieved the unified scene

Video of the corona from 9:13 last night from my Saint Paul alley

I’ve seen this shared several times with the header and footer not visible, so you can’t see the artists’s name. Credit: Leo the Alien — alienyrox on redbubble and other platforms.

That tiny hope when you’re awaken by the sound of the dog puking: MAYBE MY SPOUSE HEARD IT TOO? Alas. He was better at pretending to sleep this time.

If we weren’t all so online, you wouldn’t have been treated with all these fabulous Aurora borealis photos because we wouldn’t have known to go outside ☺️

I called my mom and told her to go out if she could to see the aurora. She sent me a couple pics and then I remembered I gave her my old phone so she doesn’t have a very good camera. Oops! 😅

I stopped a lady who was walking and looking down and make her look up at the bright pink cloud above. Then I showed it to her on my phone too. Neither of us had seen the aurora borealis with the naked eye in the city. She thanked me :)

This is DUE SOUTH

Seriously every direction now #auroraborealis

okay NOW we can call it the skyline

Aurora visible with naked eye in St. Paul

See, this is what happens when there's 1,000 fewer planes

Northern Lights from the Washburn Water Tower, Minneapolis 55419.

Can confirm.

If you can get out of the city I bet the northern lights are amazing, but they’re pretty cool from Saint Paul!

Seeing Joyce Carol Oates trending and going from oh no did she die ?? to seeing why she was really trending was a really fun ride

The Replacements briefly covered "The Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald" on Oct 15, 1985, the first gig of a 5-night homestand at the 7th Street Entry, opening with a song off their new album "Tim"—"Lay It Down, Clown"—and this was next. Video image is the Entry + the Fitz m.youtube.com/watch?v=lN5n...

At 20 years old, Karl A. Peckol was the youngest crew member of the Edmund Fitzgerald. He would now be 70 years young.

As I was walking the dogs this bleak fall day, I found myself whistling the Wreck of the Edmund Fitzgerald. I’m sure this is thanks to all the people writing about the 50th anniversary of the wreck. Anyway, sorry, neighbors! 😄

Catalpa trees have that creepy dead forest vibe when they lose their leaves

Can confirm, plus most of the remaining maples.

Found a Finn Family Moomintroll fan

Hi Minnesotan Bluesky: The DFL has a well-known transphobia problem. I'm organizing to change the party platform in 2026 to be explicitly supportive of trans people in Minnesota. This will provide a basis for expelling transphobia from our party. Join me: abetterdfl.org.

All the ginkgo leaves dropped in Saint Paul

OMG I just heard Paint Your Wagon on a Toyota commercial! I really want to know the story of how this song was chosen 😂

I’m not sure Clive agrees

Look at this happy little pumpkin ghostie

Someone fell and cut their head on the ice last night at curling, and the terrible thud is still in my head. He seems to be ok (likely needed a few stitches). After he left for the ER, we got to witness the macabre process of an ice tech scraping up bloody ice next to our sheet. 😬

I wonder if this maple tree feels like I do when the groomer sends my doodle home with a schnauzer cut. Still pretty but not really my style…

The diagram for what Palantir does is like if Richard Scarry got super paranoid and did an Apocalypse picture book

I tried a new apple, kissabel. It’s a nice tart apple that appears to have bled all its outside color in. It’s a little weird to eat; but tasty!

My walk last night on Macalester campus reminded me of my fancy David Byrne photo

Found the Catmobile

Serendipity!

The Sandwich Guy jury (allegedly) didn't know about this case when they were seated. Non-zero chance at least one juror thought they were on S2 of Jury Duty upon learning what the case was.

Sorry I can’t reset my password I’m too confounded by the security question

We’re getting to the last days to enjoy the most beautiful block—if you’re anywhere near, I cannot recommend Summit Ave just east of Cleveland. Driving, walking or riding down that block under the orange canopy is a magical—photos don’t do it justice. Even better if the sun comes out.

Yes! Yes! It is good for people who use screen readers but also for people who are FUCKING FACEBLIND!

OK how cool is it that all of my elected leaders (except the governor and the president) are women? Mayor, City Council, State Senator, (my State rep is now mayor), County Commissioner, US House Representative, US Senator. Macalester-Groveland, Saint Paul, MN FTW

One o clock first Wednesday alert!

Stop sign is telling you to stop and look at the trees in Saint Paul

My PT to the student, explaining why he’s putting more weight on the leg press for me: she has natural strength Me, in my head: FUCK YEAH

I found all the free beans! There is a nearby block full of pods from really tall honey locust trees. They must be 20 or more years older than my tree, based on the length of these pods.
