Cite the deep magic to me, witch. I was there when it was written and I think it’s important to credit our sources.

Chocolate desserts are almost always deeply boring to eat.

Librarianship being a (usually) slow-moving, (often) backwards-looking profession is good, actually.

Regular crowd shuffles in

MANDATORY DANCE BREAK

‘Wait, what’s this about bluesky dying? Does that mean my person will have more time to pet me?”

I won’t defend my generation on much, but c’mon. I watched this in real time on a wheeled-in classroom TV, and so did the rest of Mrs. Glover’s entire 8th grade Advanced English class.

<deep sigh> we really needed this rain

AWOOOOOO

Today at Costco they were featuring a color laser printer at a pretty good price. Splashed all over the box: “now with AI.” …what, I legitimately have to ask, does a printer even *do* with AI?

There it is.

Still no word on the cancellation of either event. Guess we’ll see how things look in the morning?

Wondering when, not if, my Sunday afternoon concert and Sunday evening rehearsal will be cancelled.

Awoooooooo! It's back!

It just can’t be said enough that for months the federal government waged war on the people of Minnesota, kidnapping them off the streets, driving families into hiding, and killing 2 of people. And if you cannot call that out or state that clearly, you’re not one of us. You’re one of them.

Horrifying if literal: a coat of arms

Brandi sounds just incredible. And the broadcast quality is great. Well done, @thecurrent.org

Olympic skiers chased by Nazgûl.

Where's the "Mission accomplished" banner?

quick, someone help, we've got a vegetable situation

Mpls will not be awooing according to Hennepin county alert.

No awoo in Standish??

Tears for Fears, in, um, Spring 1996, maybe? wow I'm old

What is happening in Minnesota should terrify you. And I mean terrify you to the bone. The federal government is actively lying about things we can see with our own eyes. They are murdering people in the street, blatantly lying about it, and blocking the state from investigating.

In solidarity with today's ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA blackout, MinnMax is donating $1 to the Immigrant Law Center of Minnesota for every share of this Bluesky post for the next hour.

”rumpled library detective“ is a pretty good description of my actual profession, tbh.

Now we go live to antifa headquarters in Minnesota

This wasn’t exactly normal times (January 2021), but it was a gorgeous winter Sunday in the park and the whole neighborhood was out enjoying it.

Irate middle-aged midwesterner here. Yup.

This thread 😂😆🥹🥹

Canada, Canada, take us in.

I am deeply frustrated with our electeds’ response, but legit question for those who’ve thought about this harder than I have: what should they be doing if their response was ideal? I hate what’s happening here, but I sure don’t them want to give the govt any excuse to come down even harder.

The U of MN, including libraries, is moving to U card-only access to buildings. Non U affiliates will not be able to freely enter. The statements from U admin are pretty mealy-mouthed, but this is a concrete (if unfortunately necessary) move.

Very very minor all things considered, but WTF is the deal with Noem’s comically large cowboy hat? She looks like Yosemite Sam.

Just like every January in Minnesota, I’m eagerly looking forward to ice out.

This is just a note to say that I have eaten the falcon in a widening gyre and that you were probably saving for anarchy Forgive me it was delicious so rough and full of passionate intensity

A movie that takes place where you’re from.

Really important to stress that the Crown Jewels of the US higher education system were never the Ivies or elite SLACs (other countries have equivalents of these) but the well-funded, large, cheap, and excellently staffed public state university systems bringing high quality education to the masses.

Here we see the Pope giving new meaning to Abbot Suger's "architecture of light"—a metaphysical theology that informed the design of Gothic cathedrals—through the medium of sound, establishing once and for all that the sonic impact of angel song is best represented by dubstep. In this essay I will

If a man calls a woman “crazy” please know that it’s actually code for “she is reasonably upset by the compounded experiences of injustice that her mere existence has subjected her to and I don’t want to acknowledge it or I fear I will realize I’ve benefited from the culture of it.” Hope that helps!

sure why not

That was a rather brief awoo, what gives?

Number 703 in Ward 12 Precinct 3 at just about 5 PM on the dot.

The world is a dumpster fire of the most epic proportions, but nothing can take away the simple pleasure of MSP Bluesky #sirenposting.

awooooo

When you wish upon a star…

Cities! And libraries! (I'll even overlook the whole Wisconsin thing for this)

WTF Bach
