Just wait til you find out Banjo has hired me to do pyrotechnics for her tour.

you know what a pyramid would look pretty good opposite the spruce tree building and the angry loon statue
whoever made this sign parodying Ramsey county and put it up at the dead cvs site at Midway is hilarious

“Topologically correct but wonky” has to be the greatest comment I have ever gotten on an experimental art project.

Is that an acorn with hockey hair

Okay soothsayers, a raven keeps doing something outside my window and then flying up the roof above me.

What does this mean and how do we become besties?

The worst accidental business soundtrack standard - previously held by the pharmacy playing “Stayin’ Alive” while I waited for my flu shot- is now held by the gas station that pumped the Game of Thrones theme song through the speakers while I used their restroom.

Uffffffff no yeah -I haven’t picked it or his Letters up in 20 years and I still have distant remembered passages bubbling up in the brain an awful lot lately

Protest Mittens pattern by Virginia Cosgriff Instead of buying the pattern, donate the amount you would be willing to spend on a pattern to a charity of your choice.

And now that you’re here, new mitten pattern came out in case you need something to go with your red toque.

New most Minnesotan snack food just dropped at our local grocery. 10/10.

A. I am still hoping for someone to make a super cut of Ibson’s carded faces at refs

B. THEY’RE FINALLY TAKING MY ADVICE ABOUT RECRUITING BAYERN GUYS

Naomi is the author of the beautiful and incredibly relevant Year Without Sunshine, and you can basically participate in that kind of community now: donate to Minnesota families and maybe get an ARC of her new book!!

Weird that your guys ate at a Mexican restaurant then they turned around and scooped up the whole staff and now everyone is all no, no don’t eat in my restaurant hard to imagine why that might be.

Why is Minneapolis like this? A Minnesotan's opinion on what's got us fighting the feds in the streets.

This is excellent.

John Greenleaf Whittier (December 17, 1807 - September 7, 1892) was an American Quaker poet and advocate of the abolition of slavery in the United States. Frequently listed as one of the fireside poets, he was influenced by the Scottish poet Robert Burns. Whittier is remembered particularly for his anti-slavery writings, as well as his 1866 book Snow-Bound. John Greenleaf Whittier en.wikipedia.org

This is who the Whittier neighborhood in Minneapolis is named for

If you’re in MN and help a family who would like a little yarn or fiber to keep their hands busy at home, get in touch and I’ll pop something in the mail this week for you to bring. I know a version of this is being organized in the metro, but we’re all in this and I’ve got a stash for greater MN.

A grey faced sheep with long white curls of wool eats hay from my hand. A dark brown sheep’s back crowding into the frame.

I’m not actively selling or teaching this month, so nothing for me to close today.

MN, I love you. The past weeks are rage and love and grief and hope as you step up to show courage and kindness to neighbors. You’re incredible. Stay warm. Keep each other safe. To a day for truth & freedom.

Seeing all my yarn places send out messages that they’re going to close all business operations but have the building open for people to gather and make in company with others is the thing making me good-cry a little today.

Trail cams can capture footage without sending it to the panopticon.

Hey Bluesky, send us your best ducks

(Happy #InternationalUnsolicitedDuckPicDay to all who celebrate)

I’m just on my iPad for everything so that will work great

Oooh thank you!

Is there a great big not-Kindle option for getting an ebook subscription?

I have Libby and I’m satisfied for audiobooks but the wait time on ebook series and occasionally finding one volume missing in the middle of a series is wearing me down.

You can tell which friends make things and which don’t by their reaction to the phrase “I can’t mail this until it’s dry.”

19!

17.5 hours into my current yarn spinning background book I have met the most Midwestern tiny gods.

Hello hello would you like a cupcake?

What? No.

Hmmmhmmm, Two cupcakes?

Hmmm. Yes, you’re right. Two cupcakes and a cocktail. Here.

I’ve just learned that a potter in Scotland in the 1790s was a FASHION ICON who has not been recognized for their genius in accessorizing
