Gabe at Printastik was fabulous! Highly recommended. Thank you!

If my phone hadn’t died, I would have posted a video of the ASL lady working while @alyankovic.bsky.social performed a chaotic language fest mid-Amish Paradise at @riotfest.bsky.social Amazing!

I’m at riot fest and it doesn’t suck yet except it kind of sucks no John Stamos crop art in the museum

Neither my Gen X PT nor the two Gen Z assistants knew Pulp or Common People. I was genuinely surprised!

There must be some robust Classics programs around there; the skeleton is a very accurate version of a mosaic from Pompeii: share.google/9ng1t4LYTIvG...

The Greek goddess is labeled as Demeter, goddess of grain and agriculture. Appropriate choice!

Today is Palmer’s Bar last day ever—go see some great music and tip heavily! bsky.app/profile/palm...

As I’m adding things to the crop art thread, I am noticing there are a handful of faceless portraits, so I’m starting to realize that must be a “thing”. New to me though!

I forgot to post my foggy Minneapolis pics yesterday. It was cool!

This might take me a while, but I’m still documenting the 2025 MN State Fair crop art!

Kiss the Tiger rocks and you should go see them whenever you can. And I’m digging the new album. I wish I could have been in front dancing but I still have a bum knee. Next time!

CEntral High SEnior ANnual. (I was wondering, too, paging through my mom’s yearbooks.)

i wrote this post in july two years ago when blue sky had around 200,000 total users and i thought i would ask again tell me what u are doing be proud of what u do and share it here

The responsibility to protect our public servants, political figures, and all Americans is not partisan. It’s patriotic—and long overdue. Congress must take action, now.

MSP locals — oops I had a year to make these and forgot! Looking for a local t-shirt company that can make a handful of these by Sept 17. Maybe also a quote from John Stamos calling it Crap Art… Zimmerman Dry goods cannot and I’m checking with Rebel Ink. All ideas appreciated!

I found the opposite of the TARDIS! It’s the McDonalds on University and Marion, where the most giant building opens up into this tiny self serve area. (My mom needed food beteeen two appointments and this was closest) #smallerontheinside

I took my mom to an appointment and met the amazing Rapunzel

I don't want to start a thing so I'll just say that there will never be a good argument for privatizing USPS. That would be like privatizing libraries. The aim of services isn't to be run for profit, they are for serving the greater good, which USPS has been extremely successful at.

Minneapolis, this goal isn't anywhere near large enough to support this very young child through losing his Mom in the crash he survived. We need to burst it open & be sure he's taken care of.

“Uh-oh, overflow, population ‘common food, but it’ll do’, save yourself, serve yourself, world serves its own needs—listen to your heart bleed, dummy with the raptured and the revered and the right, right” And let it be said I’m of the lets eat grandma school of punctuation, so

I had to get up and turn the heat on last night after lying there not sleeping because freezing. Just in time for the warm up!

Crouching Coldplay, hidden felt ornament!

I got my Covid and flu shots today at Walgreens. Easy peasy, free with my insurance, unlike CVS which would have been $300…

Doggos first walkies with mom since I got my torn meniscus sewn back to my tibia! There was some power sniffing going on. I probably should have taken them one at a time…

This gets progressively funnier with every use of the term "floppy".

Radio K is great because not only do I get to hear music from the Cocteau Twins. I get to hear the band pronounced in a charming new way!

New PT exercise involved trying to balance on one leg on a squishy platform while presenting a medicine ball to the upper right and upper left. I was very wobbly. I might have added some noises. My PT: I’m sure the sound effects are helping Me: doesn’t everyone do the sound effects part?

My entire feed rn is Senator: Do you think heart failure causes death RFK: Senator, medicine doesn't work, we all need to be drinking raccoon blood

U.S. SEN. TINA SMITH (D-MN): "When were you lying, sir: when you told this committee that you were not anti-vax or when you told Americans that there's no safe and effective vaccine?" RFK JR.: "Both things are true."

When I remarked on the unicycle's corn dog valve cover at the State Fair's bike corral, a man in a cow costume produced another corn dog valve cover and gave it to me That's a statistically improbable sentence, but 100% true

Here are @julieblaha.bsky.social’s amazing flowers!

There were 2 other tributes I’m aware of - here’s another Gilbert, and Julie Blaha did some amazing flowers that were made from onion skins, and also rhubarb and corn fibers made into cordage! I can’t find a photo of those unfortunately.

Here's the Letter to the Editor I was worked up enough to write about Karen Tolkkinen's inane article.

'Ceci n’est pas un corn dog' seems appropriate for a fair.

It’s ‘Left of west and coming in a hurry with the Furies breathing down your neck

It’s “Team by team reporters, baffled, trumped, tethered, cropped, Look at that low playing, fine, then

MN State Fair crop art 2025 thread: 1. This year, the Minneapolis Institute of Art sponsored two prizes, so there were lots of entries inspired by fine art. These are the two winners: #cropart #seedart #mnstatefair

In the coming days, we expect to see what's playing out in LA and DC happen in Chicago. These efforts are not about fighting crime or making communities safer. This is about Donald Trump testing his power and producing political drama to cover up his own corruption.

For next year’s state fair, make the beer ice cream a nice cherry lambic and not a sour please and thank you

I remember how I had time to create a thread of all the crop art from last year before the fair ended… I got covid after volunteering so I was home and sad to miss half the fair! I did take photos of the 2025 walls and tables, so I will try to do a similar thread this year.

Not sure if this is meant to be a Yayoi Kusama tribute or just Big Pumpkin! Regardless I appreciate

Wanted: any and all photos you have of the #mnstatefair Crop Art area. I'm trying to build a 3D reconstruction of the exhibit and I'm missing a few spots with the ~1200 photos I took myself. I'll look through Bluesky, IG, Twitter, but share any you have or come across too. Weird angles are helpful!

#mnstatefair #cropart yes there are lines, and the crops people did what they could with that space they have. One reason they need to keep the line moving is the fire code: the room itself and the whole building wasn’t made for that many people. Mainly, don’t be an asshole

Minnesota State Fair people: Crop Art has a line. Follow the rules. Don't be a jerk. And if you make our amazing crop art supervisor cry, you should probably be kicked out of the fair.

I think I may be the only person who hated the beer ice cream at the fair. They should have a warning about how it tastes like a SOUR beer. Blech.

Low effort playtime!

Hey @governorwalz.mn.gov please hop right on this bandwagon!
