"...because he's probably looking at the wrong map projection"

State of Minnesota, City of Minneapolis, City of St. Paul sue federal government storage.courtlistener.com/recap/gov.us...

what I actually am is an award winning essayist and critic, though I also write little emails, and this was mine, last night. if you want to know what this is like from my particular little south Minneapolis family; www.deardara.com/so/07PkmwREQ...

Whoever you are: i love you, my hat is off, you are my hero. Minnesota perfect. 💜

In completely unrelated news...while there is no substitute for a fully ripe, sun-warmed berry straight from the plant in June, these are giving us life and joy this week. www.myfruittruck.com

I wrote up a bit about Minneapolis right now, mostly to share with my coworkers and family, but if it works for you, you can share it, too. arbitrarilyclosecom.wordpress.com/2026/01/11/o...

Geese are raccoon ducks

A Black man was killed by ICE (off duty) in Los Angeles on New Year’s Eve. And like Renée Good, he was an American citizen. But most people have not heard about Keith Porter. I need y’all to realize this. Black people experience this lack of visibility all the time when it comes to being victims.

Hell yeah Minneapolis! Arrest and charge Jonathan Ross, the truck. Do it 💥

More than 5,000 people here in Powderhorn Park protesting ICE’s occupation of Minneapolis. #FuckICE #iceout #mpls #FuckTrump

I added a few new itty-bitty paintings to my Ko-Fi shop. Only one set of each ko-fi.com/1626SLXL3044...

Do you know how frickin pissed off you have to make Minnesotans for them to not only NOT help you, but HECKLE you?

northerners only, this is delightful. give it the full watch

Hold on. Paleontology is calling in to inform me that ALL rocks are history rocks

You must stop and listen to this. We are under occupation by racist thugs.

My new exclamation of frustration shall be “Oh, for the love of flag!”

“The Party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command.” —George Orwell (1984)

The Grief Room opened more time slots! They rent out space by suggested donation with no one turned away lacking funds. Our funeral home is a steward of The Grief Room, donating and supporting in every realm that we can. We believe so deeply in it's existence. It's part of the solution / rebuilding.

In what world do we need more of this? www.nytimes.com/2026/01/08/u...

Hot take. All rules are lies.

really stretching the popular conception of "pyramid" with this one

Worth noting that Minnesota Public Radio is NOT doing that. They're interviewing people on the ground, chasing down witnesses and facts, and treating ICE statements with the appropriate amount of skepticism.

Have a fav grief quote or grief thoughts of your own or others? Do share if comfortable. DM's open.. Looking for greater than myself & my followed resources. There's much goodness out there, but a lot of it's not getting into the hearts of the masses that need the grief adaption of language/action.

this is gross

I need a mood booster, let's talk about capybaras. Here's a capy demonstrating one of MANY ways they can move through the water: running along the bottom. They're 'semi-aquatic' mammals, just like hippos, seals & beavers. They LOVE water. (📷: Fernando Maidana)

*whew* My father passed away this weekend. He was a Certified Financial Planner. There are ironies, friends. Ironies and layers. I'll say more about all of it, but for now: Kory you are not alone!

Last day to apply for anyone interested!

Having trouble getting Jude’s attention, Beatles. Please advise.

Have lost all sympathy for the devil, Rolling Stones. Please advise.

*points at gyre* There’s your problem. Widening.

My #3 Sonderbooks Stand-out in Children's Nonfiction, How Did You Count? is another brilliant book by Christopher Danielson with more than one right answer to questions that invite kids to explore mathematical thinking. @triangleman.bsky.social Read my review: www.sonderbooks.com/Childrens_No...

what about bulletin boards?

Also, #vehiclechat adjacent... Are desks "office supplies"?

Unit talk. What is the threshold for a "large collection" of office supplies? 5 pens? 20 pens? 100 pens? 1000 pens? 5, 20, 100,1000 pieces of paper? Paperclips? Desks? Is there a size to number relationship?

Mechanical pencils by the dozens! Way more paper than I thought at first. And so many Post Its! SO. MANY. STICKY. NOTES.

Classroom teachers! Quick question…Are 3-ring binders useful objects in schools these days, or trash? Like if came across a closet full of them, do you have treasure or a problem on your hands?

Grinding corn kernels, just to meal something

Any Detroit area teachers out there who want to take your pick of a large collection of office supplies? DM me for details ASAP if you’re at all interested.

Thank you @johngolden.bsky.social Your reach is far greater than mine! I will Zoom teaching an introduction to solids class for the Canadian BookBinders and Book Artists Guild in January www.cbbag.ca/event-6403035

That early morning school vacation MSP Terminal 2 security line amiright?

omg it used to be that when I did my monthly check on my account over on the thing that used to twitter, my mentions were 99% bot follows. now they are 99% purple-starred posts irrelevant to me which are evidently "recommended moments"?

Strong work here! Also, it would be fun to run these numbers a second time, but using percentages of *disposable* income (i.e. after basic housing, food, transportation, child care, and health care needs are paid for)
