Yes!

A picture of a Barred owl backlit by the sunrise with brown grasses in the background

Yes! I’ve seen it in the yard a few times. So big! Here is a gorgeous picture from a couple weeks ago. I saw it twice today as well.

Things that will always be exciting, no matter how often it happens… seeing an owl in my yard. 🦉

The low-maintenance costs (and not having to make the appointments for maintenance like oil changes) are one of the many reasons I love driving an electric car.

I had to do the first-ever maintenance on my 2017 Bolt (which I bought used ~5 years ago). It was making a weird noise. I took it to the dealership, they hooked it up to a computer, it was a quick software fix, cost $200.

That's $200 in maintenance across 5 years.

The lengths women go to protect community and build better futures. My heart breaks for Dolores Huerta and the other women abused in the movement. And my heart swells again and again in gratitude for the many women who keep each other and our communities safe.

‘We’re Just Seen as Sex Objects’: Dolores Huerta’s Years in the U.F.W.

““I saw him, again, as my boss, as my hero, as, you know, somebody that would do the impossible,” she said. “I never talked about it to anybody and the reason I didn’t is because I just didn’t want to hurt the movement.” -D. Huerta. 💔

This seems like an ideal dream. You get the pleasure of eating all those cookies and don’t have to deal with the stomach ache after.

Update on the first bike commute of the season. After a season of being closed, my favorite bridge over the Mississippi River is open! The Dinkytown Greenway Bridge (aka Bridge 9). Isn’t that view just gorgeous?

First bike/bus commute of the season on @metrotransitmn.bsky.social! I’m a bit of a fair-weather bike commuter especially with dark and ice. But new season is here! And I can’t help note it coincides with the onset of $100/barrel oil prices.

Same thing over here… a few handfuls mini eggs. So so good. They pair nicely with a bubbly water.

Same thing happened to me not being able to sleep and finding this. I’ve been extra worried about this for a few days. And here it is. And worse than I imagined

Me too! I hope we find something to work on together in the future. Even if it is just sharing virtual space to help get projects done!

I’ve had the honor & pleasure of working with Ashley. So grateful she is bringing her skill & wisdom to this moment in this way. I’m tempted to say her magic, but that isn’t right. She is a talented person who loves her community and stepped up. It feels like magic, but we can all do it in some way.

Oh man… this hits hard. Sending strength and patience. And perhaps dark humor, if it is helpful. As a sandwich generation elder caregiver who has navigated through more than my family’s fair share of dementia (and continue to do so!)… solidarity.

My neighborhood doesn’t get great bus service. The 9 is the only one, and it only comes every half hour. So, catching it with after just a 2-minute wait felt like a winter storm miracle. Hurray for transit!

The twin cities snowstorm was more than i expected! So I last-minute decided to walk/train/bus home from St Paul to Mpls. And I’ve had the best @metrotransitmn.bsky.social experience. The trip advisors on the green line dealt respectfully w/ someone smoking on train. And I caught the 9 bus quickly!

A strong, free, independent press is so important to the civic fabric that makes Minnesota who we are. Grateful for all the folks who do this essential work and proud to contribute to you all.

As a Minneapolis resident… thank you for stretching yourself like this. Our community needs it. 🙏

Bring all the detained children home to Minnesota. And stop detaining children. It is horrifying that this is happening. The educators working so hard to hold their school communities together and sound the alarm for all of us to act are heroes. These educators are heroes who protect kids.

Parents are afraid to send their kids to school, classrooms sit half-empty, children are being taken to detention facilities. We’ve crossed a line.

I stood with education leaders to discuss the growing harm federal actions are causing to children, families, and our schools.

Some very good news. And we keep going. We need to keep going to bring more home and stop more from being taken.

I love Mpls. My kid has a small list of safe foods including a v. specific order from our neighborhood pizza shop. Today, 5 mins after ordering, I got a call from them confirming it was right. It wasn’t! The guy making it recognized the order & that it wasn’t right. So, he checked. Dinner saved! 🥺

The horrors are happening across the state. Not just in Minneapolis or the Twin Cities metro.

‘I don’t have words’: 2 more kids from Liam Ramos’ Columbia Heights school taken into ICE custody The children were taken into ICE custody after their mother was detained at a court appointment. School leaders say the mother asked them to bring the kids to the detention center because there were n...

More children being detained from the Columbia Heights school district. Sickening. I am so angry at the trauma being experience by these kids, their family, and our community. ICE out. www.mprnews.org/story/2026/0...

There isn’t any indication that immigration activity has changed in Minneapolis. In fact, this afternoon, federal immigration agents began staging at Holy Rosary Catholic Church located in East Phillips. This activity is disgraceful and creates an unsafe environment for our neighbors. 1/

Minnesota strong. Grateful for our congresswoman. And grateful she’s okay.

Love you Chicago! My home for 4 years. Thank you for the support. 💪❤️

Thank you for making it! I have sent it to multiple friends/families who live out of state and are asking for a trusted important place to give. So many want to help. It is so helpful to have a trusted resource to just send to them.

Calling the residents of Minnesota who have been shown documenting or attempting to witness ICE activities in our midst “protesting” is inaccurate. ICE is ubiquitous. We don’t go to ICE, we see it in our daily lives. Secondly, legal observing is our only recourse to defend ourselves. 👇🏻
