Jon Batiste and his band were stunning at Palace Theatre last night. During the encore they made a Second Line through the audience and we got to high five the man himself. 🤟🏽

When one hangs out with @andy-singer.bsky.social one frequently comes away with original artworks. @melrup.bsky.social

This is amazing!

Although they’re not named in this article, Bang Brewing have been at the forefront of pushing Kernza as a sustainable ingredient to beer because it’s perennial and they are one of Patagonia’s partner beers www.nytimes.com/2025/09/07/b...

Friends! If you know someone who will seek out and purchase your weirdest most desired possession just cuz - KEEP 'EM! Four our 30th anniversary, my husband @bcmfietser.bsky.social got me what I really have always wanted and didn't judge me for the weirdness of it. A Vibra-slap. TRUE LOVE.

Biked almost all the way to the end of #ParkPoint #Duluth with @bcmfietser.bsky.social today. A new discovery after so many years coming to Duluth!

In the face of radicalization, let’s choose connection. In the face of gun violence, let’s fight for gun reform together. And in the face of this overwhelming grief, let’s embrace the power of our love and care for one another.

I just donated to ‪@chriswarcraft.bsky.social‬ because I admire and respect how he is putting himself on the line to stand up for the future we deserve. He has integrity, guts, and smarts and I want more like him speaking truth to power. #ChrisKluwe #CALeg #OrangeCounty

Found on a walk in Irvine California. It’s been here for days.

Cybertruck is selling so few units and the build quality is such crap that insurance companies can't create accurate actuarial tables for it...so they're canceling policies 😂 #teslatakedown #MuskMustFall finance.yahoo.com/news/tesla-o...

This eucalyptus tree is not deterred by too much cement, and is WINNING!

Hey #minneapolis and #StPaul - did you know you rank 3rd and 5th in the nation, respectively on the Trust for Public Land’s annual park score index? www.tpl.org/parkscore/ra...

This whole thread is fascinating intel on Rosie the Riveter. Dip in!

The first time Charlie Chaplin used his voice in a film, he wielded it to forcefully condemn the rising forces of fascism around the globe. Will we listen to his words today?

Cool! I need to check this out!

What’s it like to do a solo trip on the #Amtrak #SouthwestChief to Southern California? - a thread 1/21🧵

@naomikritzer.bsky.social is an great resource for research and sound, clearly articulated positions on local races. If you are undecided in the ward 4 city council race give this a read. She talks about all candidates and would rank Molly Coleman 1st. Me 2. naomikritzer.com/2025/08/08/s...

Some drama in the skies near Gallup NM, as seen from the #Amtrak #SouthwestChief

#Amtrak conductors are silly. Here are some funny things I’ve heard them say so far this trip:

Going just a little faster than this motorcycle couple somewhere near La Junta CO ON THE #Amtrak #SouthwestChief.

Prairies just bursting in yellow this morning in Colorado on the #Amtrak #SouthwestChief.

Rolling through Colorado now on the #Amtrak #SouthwestChief.

Rolling through Kansas this morning on the #Amtrak #SouthwestChief.

Zoooom moon somewhere in Missouri on the #Amtrak #SouthwestChief.

The moon in following me somewhere near La Plata MO.

Magical section along the #Amtrak #SouthwestChief somewhere in Iowa where a sea of water lilies border a lake.

Saw this leaving Chicago on the #amtrak #SouthwestChief

I love how the conductor on the #Amtrak #SouthwestChief addresses us as “you adventurous train travelers “.

One of the joys of riding #Amtrak is that the staff are very friendly and helpful and seem to enjoy their jobs. The conductor on the slightly delayed #SouthwestChief just assured us that “We are making headway, all the live long day!” 😆

Getting ready for the next leg of my solo #amtrak trip to SoCal on the #southwestchief. This is Union Station, Chicago.

Back on an #amtrak journey to SoCal. First leg is #Borealis to Chicago. Don’t want to jinx it but it appears to be running on time!😱

Do you have a favorite backpack that is looking a little worse for wear? I did and here’s what I did rather than landfilling it. - a thread #sewsky #sewing #handmadeart #upcycled #upcycledfashion #ZeroWasteFashion #SustainableFashion #Ecofashion #sustainablesewing #memade #repurposed #crafty

Folks, I’ve just got to brag on my spouse a little here. She had a backpack she *loved* that got worn out. Rather than going out and buying a new one, she reverse engineered it, and recreated it herself using recycled wool scraps from a very old quilt. She had to learn how to use a serger too! LOOK!

Yet another reason not to fly - as if a non- existent FAA is not enough. fortune.com/2025/07/16/d...

Just learned at the three-week-old B Line is providing a 23% boost over previous Route 21 numbers, about 8K rides per day. That's a great result, and likely to climb even higher.

I just successfully threaded my new-to-me serger! I don't think I could have done it without this video. A million thank yous to In Stitches! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ssfk...

“Grandpa, where were you when MAGA was gutting healthcare and kidnapping people off the streets?” “I was in the trenches, kid. Yelling at city employees for building a bike lane."

Wake up Democratic Party old guard establishment. This isn’t about New York City. This is the way the wind is blowing. Step aside for young people who this country will need over the next several decades long after you are gone. Enough with your egos and the big money interests.

Folks - I am so pleased to report that the tiny service berry bushes I planted last month have doubled in size and are bearing fruit!!! This has been a satisfying adventure- can’t wait to see what next season brings!

It felt good to inspire a few smiles on this somber day with fellow goof balls @bcmfietser.bsky.social @scoopsstp.bsky.social @tombasgen.bsky.social
