A yellow Shar-Pei mix wearing a red harness and leather leash is sniffing the ground near the edge of a small lake on a sunny day, with dry reeds, calm blue water, and bare early-spring trees in the background. You can just about see a duck on the water in the background.
Mal hopes everyone is enjoying this beautiful spring day!

Re mobility assistance, it looks like you can get access to a track chair if you are a veteran. Track chairs have traction that wheelchairs don't, and are motorized. Lots of sources for them for vets.
You don't have to be a vet to use David's Chair, at a handful of free sites. davidschair.org
Hi Twin Cities folks! I just realized @bridgingmn.bsky.social, our local nonprofit is on here! Check them out and give them a follow 🙂 (also donate or volunteer, if you can!) #TwinCities #Minnesota

Thank you for introducing me to this delight! I love the caveat about including non-mammalian animals 🙂
On Wednesday, April 8, 2026, at 7 pm (PST), Dr. Lindy Elkins-Tanton, Director of the Space Sciences Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley, will give a free, illustrated, non-technical lecture entitled: "The NASA Psyche mission: First Journey to an Unknown World." 🧪 🔭 👩🔬 #bayarea
I have zero idea what any of that means but I’m here for it!
For more Naomi Novik, check out her amazing 9-book Temeraire series. I’ve read this entire series at least three times and could always read it again! Globe trotting alternate history featuring dragons as aerial corps in warfare, highly recommend if you like fantasy.
And pet toys…
Tortimese cat lounging on the backrest of a stuffed leather couch, looking directly at the camera. Her coat is flecked with lighter brown fur like a tortoiseshell and her eyes are a light blue. I don’t know all the various “points” and other cat type notations, so I’m just going to say her face has darker fur radiating from her nose till it lightens towards her neck. She is pretty 😍
Please admire my pretty kitty!
It snowed a few inches here yesterday but I’m not sure that will be enough
**Date change for Klondike Dog Derby postponed to Mar 6th and 7th**
Reason being not enough snow cover on Lake Minnetonka. I’m signed up for my usual shift on race day. Anyone else here for the race weekend, #UglyDogs?
P.S. I could do with a big group hug these days!

Pam Bondi refused to give a 4-year old his dog back **when he was grieving both parents** and losing his home in Hurricane Katrina.

Rebel Loon of Minnesota. No AI. Permission of artist. Please share far and wide. Other states are making their own state bird rebels in solidarity.
Picture of me at the Jan 2017 women’s march in D.C. holding a sign that says “Eternal Vigilance is the price of Liberty” with Free Speech, Free Press, Equal Rights, Gov’t for ALL people, Private Profit not equal to Public Good written in smaller letters, with the tag #WhyIMarch. You can see the Capitol behind me in the picture. I’m wearing my Nasty Woman tee with one long black glove (lost the other) and a scarf printed with the US flag in violation of the Flag Code (sorry!)
It’s nine years later. I’m indoors holding up the same sign, with a wooden wall hanging in the shape of the state of Minnesota on the wall next to me. I’m also wearing a black baseball cap from The Walker with the words “closed mondays” on it.
2017 vs. 2026… I’m tired, boss
(fuck all you fuckers who said we were fear mongering, over reacting, emotional, or any other bullshit)

I’ve been thinking about Norton lately, and today I donated to this local charity in his memory. If you can spare some change, please check them out. They do good work in the community.

This makes me so angry. They are doing this in plain view of citizens and with multiple people recording. So how exactly so the body cams work? Other than to harvest citizens’ faces for the fucking ice database
paper sign reads Mike, Make MN Proud...ICE OUT OF MINNESOTA
At the Target HQ, calling for the new CEO to call for ICE out of MN, out of their stores, and to protect their employers and customers. ICE OUT NOW.
❤️❤️❤️
I take it you are not from here. Our lakes freeze enough to drive on and we also put ice fishing huts on them and stay overnight.
While there is a lot of attention now being paid to ELITE, this ice app from Palantir being used to terrorize America, what I want to know is which of the major cloud providers are hosting this particular evil? AWS? Azure? Google? Oracle? Anyone know?
#IceOut #TechSky
To those of you outside Minnesota thinking things are ramping down: No. and it’s all over, not relegated to just one city.
Hey @amyklobuchar.com and @smith.senate.gov how are you all caving to Schumer when you have so much support from your Dem colleagues??? SHAME ON YOU! Protect the constitutional rights of your constituents.
#IceOut #AbolishIce
they will get MAGA judges to sign warrants using their domestic terrorist database, and will continue Kavanaugh stops. So essentially, any person of color/undesirable can never be out in public safely nor at home since they’ve had zero consequences. This will get worse for Minnesota, not better.
The new uniforms and badges that @schumer.senate.gov and @amyklobuchar.com and @smith.senate.gov are insisting ICE wear will make him better in no time, don’t you worry!
#AbolishICE #FuckSchumer
Schumer is saying ice can continue to violate our constitutional rights as long as they wear a fucking uniform??? No mention of investigating anything??? Not Texas. Not Minnesota.
Fuck you too @amyklobuchar.com and you think you’ll be our governor after this betrayal???

It is crystal clear to me that the Democratic Party no longer represents me. When we are literally dying in prison and in the streets because of ice, they want to play their fucking milquetoast politics.
My vote for the candidate who runs on prosecuting the entire regime.
