For people elsewhere who have asked how to support Minnesota while we’re overrun with nazi thugs, here’s an excellent list of places that could use financial help. Lots of choices. Thank you so much! docs.google.com/document/d/1...

I do not apologize for anything I may or may not have drunkenly said against Ohio tonight

Welp, thanks to the Anthony Gramuglia P&P video he is going to be Michael "Men don't really read novels" Knowles in my brain forever now

It's Year Of The Bog babeee, here's what I hope to do in 2026: read boggy books, fiction and non (got a head start already with The Bog Wife, now on to The Bog Queen) learn about wetland ecology visit marshes locally and bogs up north create a spectacular bog witch dress for Ren Fair season

Not the prettiest #visiblemend I’ve ever done, but I’d like to extend the life of my partner’s wool base layer for another season. First time using scotch darning, hopefully it works with the knit instead of stressing it

Hot dog roll-ups are the culinary equivalent of evolving into crab form. No one needs a recipe, or even prior exposure, to make one. All 2am forays into the kitchen converge upon this one constant

Found Pastor Todd Bordow's blog on the Wayback Machine while doing research on abuse prevention. It seems like a good resource for anyone in the #orthodoxpresbyterianchurch interested in trying to move leadership towards a more compassionate stance on divorce: web.archive.org/web/20230711...

Still not emotionally recovered from chat gpt's theft of my beloved em dash

i think anyone saying he practiced politics the right way or that we should continue his work should first have to read out loud his last days worth of posts to someone they love who doesnt know who he is

Just finished "A Psalm for the Wild Built" by Becky Chambers--what would you call the opposite of dystopia? It's compassionate and hopeful and in love with the world and the creatures who live in it and exactly what I needed to read right now

Two years after I sowed the seeds, a tiny patch of bee balm has appeared! Enough for one cup of tea? maybe?? 😅 #nativeplants

These little guys are loving the butterfly weed 🧡 She's definitely a bee, but I'm not sure what kind? #nativeplants

Oh to be a cat sleeping away a summer's afternoon
