This event has been postponed to March 26th, but I still plan on attending!
This Thursday, I'll be attending Innovate MN's Season 3 Kickoff Idea Jam. www.innovate.mn/event-detail...
Wonderfully insightful and candid discussion on The SoDA Report On: New strategies for the modern agency. Thank you Webflow for putting this together. webflow.com/resources/re... ✨ #Strategy
My daughter really loves Em Beihold. I’ve already pre-ordered Tales of a Failed Shapeshifter, and today I’m hoping I can surprise her with tickets to the June 5 show at Fine Line in Minneapolis. 🤞
The Federal government is now a domestic terror organization.
Federal agents shot and killed another person in south Minneapolis. Thinking it might not be safe to see @umphreys.com tonight at First Avenue. 😢
Today's thought: I keep asking how my experiences from Occupy Oakland can be applied for meaningful impact in Minneapolis today.

It should go without saying... I will always be interested in purchasing land in Northern California. Grateful I have the patience to wait for the right price for me.
The #GratefulDead taught me something that still guides my work today: when things feel unstructured, you don’t force control... you follow the light. Dark Star to Northstar. Have faith. Trust the journey.

Today is Bob Weir’s Homecoming. ❤️⚡️💙
Grateful for the Nugs.net livestream so I can be there in spirit. Bobby Weir’s influence on me, especially at Saint Joseph High School, shaped how I think about music, creativity, freedom, how to truly live, and even what shoes to wear (Birkenstocks, obviously).

Land of the free, home of the “sorry, there’s still a shortage.” 🦅
Nothing says “first-world country” like having a valid prescription and still not being able to get your medication, going on now for 2+ years. 🇺🇸✨

I wish it was Monday, all I want to do is work until I'm dead.
ICE, get the fuck out of Minneapolis.
As I was doing the work of St. Nicholas yesterday, the universe winked at me with this ⚡️ Trips Festival poster w/ Jefferson Airplane, The Collectors, Magic Fern, & Painted Ship rock poster #art by Bob Masse! Spotted at #ElectricFetus in Minneapolis.

High-conflict environments don’t always leave visible marks.
But they shape how we see ourselves,
how we trust,
and how we carry stress into adulthood.
This isn’t blame.
It’s awareness. ✨

Some stories take years before you’re ready to tell them.
Not because the memories aren’t clear -
but because understanding them takes time.
This is part of my origin story.
Not the conclusion.
Just the moment where I stop looking away.
More soon
...and let me know. (Now you have an excuse!)
This is a small but meaningful way I choose to practice consent, respect, and digital responsibility - values that guide me both personally and professionally.

Even though these memories are special to me, I don’t want to accidentally make them public or feed AI training on images they might prefer to keep private.
If any of my friends from that time are comfortable having their face visible, I’d be more than happy to update the photo - just reach out...
🛡️ Respecting Privacy, Even in the Past ❗️
When sharing some of my childhood cheerleading photos, you might notice that I blurred out the faces of friends who were under 18 at the time. I did this intentionally because I am a mindful technologist and respect their privacy.

✌️ Supported by friends. Lifted by teammates.
Even in something unexpected, giving your best matters. Striving for excellence, respecting the craft, and honoring the trust of those around you is a lesson I carry into every part of my life.

Pure joy. Gratitude. A smile that says I knew I belonged there. 💚
