I have all day in a waiting room on Thursday. Cast on an EZ aran sweater for myself? Or a colorwork hat?

🎶 Guess who forgot her melatonin? 🎶

if you can’t see the aurora borealis tonight, here is a sewer tunnel which is a wonder in itself.

The Aurora do be Aurora-ing tonight. As seen from our backyard in Northeast Minneapolis ❤️

Honestly don’t think I’ve ever seen red pillars this massive (10-second exposure but naked-eye visible)

And yonder shines Aurora’s harbinger

Naked eye isn’t seeing much this far south but a camera with a long exposure will do it!

Everything is going to be okay ❤️

Say their names cemetery Minneapolis, MN 11/11/25

So this is happening right now...

Reno, Nevada 6:31 PDT 39.4° N, 119.8° W #Aurora

Straight overhead in south Minneapolis. Visible to naked eye. Incredible.

I appreciate that folks who don't work in an ed school are discovering or re-discovering the reading wars today on the skies (complimentary). It's my big example of why higher ed scholar fights have nothing on k12. That and the math wars out in northern California.

At its brightest to where I could see the pink tinge and lines with naked eye! Near Lincoln Nebraska. My feet got cold, it lasted about 40 minutes. Feeling aurora lucky tonight!

Got some nice pics. Was not expecting this at all tonight, but I’m not complaining. Otherworldly. What a gift.

Say, this Purple Rain show is pretty amazing after all, and the tickets are free

With the naked eye over South Minneapolis is wild.

Fun neighborhood hang in the middle of the street.

Ok, got the tripod and took my time.

God says trans rights

Still going!

For the evening crowd! Support the people doing queer- and trans-led sex ed for ALL! I don't know if you know this but the pay in sex ed is SHIT and the government is very mad at us right now!!

Great pillars. I’ve only seen this type away from light pollution in the bwca before.

WHOA northern lights downtown Mpls!!!!!!!!!!!!! Aurora borealis big time 🤩

I too live in Minneapolis

Not bad for right outside my front door

it is insane that this is real

The heavens opened and tried to swallow my house tonight.

#KubeCon, go look at the Northern Lights. I’m serious. Yes, in downtown Atlanta. I just got visible green and red pillars on camera here

Aurora! In the front yard!

written language is a technology that can be broken. it can be lost. it appears we are well along the way to breaking it in this country. think about how angry you get when you imagine someone torching a library. be angrier than that. it is not one library being lost for these kids. it's all of them

I think it’s now safe to call this race. Progressive urban planner Katie Wilson defeats centrist incumbent Bruce Harrell and will become Seattle’s next mayor.

Whistles in stock for Twin Cities orders! DM to order

Today I played hooky from job searching and book work to cut down 5 trees. All the trees but one on the north side of the house are hybrid mulberries, which have the following attributes: - icky berries that attract flies - taller than the house - sways alarmingly

Journalist friends, you know what to do. Sarah Kendzior was suspended, she doesn’t know why, and the head of T&S said he won’t confirm whether or not the suspension was intentional unless media requests hit a threshold

You're at adapt. I need you at improvise and overcome.

It turns out that Tailscale is really perfect for how I use the Spark. Almost nothing I do is graphical, but I’ve already found myself running multiple little ML services on it that I can just… use from my phone, wherever. As well as just being able to SSH into it from my laptop for dev purposes.

And, like...an inferior death cult. There are SUCH BETTER DEATH CULTS out there. Personally, big fan of Christianity. AWESOME death cult. Makes a way better death cult than an imperial religion, let me tell you what.

I see folks talking about the whole language approach to literacy and how it explains why so many people today cannot read. I wrote this thread almost 2 years ago, and it's as relevant today as it was then. Little has changed.

3 days left to nominate books, stories, poems, music, video, fanfic, social media posts, or any other form of #SpeculativeFiction for this year's Otherwise Award jury. Anyone can make a recommendation, and it's fine to nominate your own work. #fantasy #horror #sciencefiction #awards

I''m a finalist in the "Top #DevOps Community Evangelist" category of this year's DevOps Dozen awards hosted by @techstronggroup.bsky.social. Congratulations to all of the finalists, very well deserved! Voting is open now through the end of the year. www.surveymonkey.com/r/DevOps-Doz...

rad power bikes, a US based company, is shutting down largely in response to tariffs, which raise their prices and make foreign made bikes cheaper by comparison good case study in how patently counterproductive these tarrifs are for stimulating local production

This will put more people out of work than there are coal miners. Insane

“Open source moves forward when we build in the open, learn from production, and bring those lessons back upstream.” 💯 @brendandburns.bsky.social bringing us Microsoft’s “what’s new” for #KubeCon NA 2025. aka.ms/kubecon/blog

When you’re the paper of record and have definitely understood the franchise up until this point

This so much! Parents (usually mothers) in car-centric areas are forced to chauffeur their kids around. It also means they emphasize predictable, scheduled activities (like sports leagues) that cost money. Youth mobility gives kids freedom, saves money, and reduces the unpaid-labor burden on women

The V for Vendetta show already exists and it is Mr. Robot

A blessed Veteran's Day to my Uncle and Minnesota's greatest senator

This hurt my heart to read. As the co-founder and operator of a weird blog that is still going because it's largely reader-supported now, value for private equity shareholders can consume a satchel of richards.
