do you have an emotional support floor album like times when the world seems like a lot and you just wanna lie facedown on the floor with a record playing on the turntable and you don't get up until you have to flip to side B and then you lie back down on the floor after

I’d offer to be a Twin Cities tour guide, but uhhhhhh…
I’ve got another kid on the way that’s scheduled to arrive at the end of June. So I’m not allowed to have fun.

Folks, y’all should come to Minnesota this summer. It’s usually beautiful (unless Canada is on fire), and the Twins will be terrible so tickets will be cheaply available for a mediocre time at a great ballpark.
There’s so much more to do than I can fit in limited space.

Axios had a story today about how hard Minnesota’s economy is being hit and how slow the recovery could be. So, I’m going to take this opportunity to say that if you want to support the Twin Cities, you should plan a visit for this summer, spend some money here, & see how amazing it is for yourself.

Much of the Trump administration’s immigration crackdown is concentrated in Minneapolis and surrounding cities. But federal agents are making arrests across Minnesota and community members are banding together to keep watch and support immigrant neighbors. A view of the resistance from Northfield.

As a resident of Mendota Heights, this saddens me.
Mendota Springs (1985-2020): A line of unsweetened, sparkling mineral water/seltzer, available in cans or bottles. It was available in a variety of fruit flavors such as well as an unflavored option. Distributed nationally, but found sustained success mostly across Minnesota, Wisconsin, and Illinois

Take some notes, @repangiecraig.bsky.social
Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.
Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.
