Mostly here for church stuff.

As the Bluesky continues to grow, I feel like I need to re-establish my disclaimers from the Old Place: I primarily use social media to learn more about my faith. Lots of people who haven't met me IRL know me from my public sector job, which has a social media policy against putting my work #onhere.
How old am I? I'm getting streaming ads for Aerie holiday PJ sets and heart medication.

Okay dangerous question given my local followers but: two things happened at the same time in college (1) the OG Blue Line was under construction and (2) I discovered that you could get a master's degree in urban planning. I decided that's what I should do, did it, and have loved all of it. ❤️

Excited for Minneapolis to be recognized among the world's best cycling cities in the 2025 Copenhagenize Index!
We placed 44th overall and Bryant Ave S was specifically profiled as a global success story. Looking forward to moving up in future years!

1st Ave S is open, baby! (fine print: Franklin to Grant is 2026, and the Nicollet/Kmart project will build a new connection from 1st down to the Midtown Greenway)

I'm at the Gopher women's hockey game on a 50° day and there's a guy here in a hockey sweater and shorts and I love that for him.

The exchange between the Coast Guard and the Arthur M. Anderson on the night the Edmund Fitzgerald went down is one of my Roman Empires — asking the Anderson to come about and search, and Captain Cooper saying yes.

We were supposed to go to Chicago for a kid-free weekend but cancelled just before the airspace news started to come out. Our Friday flight made it but just found out today's is cancelled. Close call.

The US withdrawal from WHO could impact the flu shot.
Flu samples sent to CDC from around the world are down 60% this year, as of July.
"When those viruses are not coming in, we don't know what to put in the vaccine, and you're going to have less effective vaccines."

Why next year's flu shot might not be as good as it should be
America's withdrawal from the World Health Organization is affecting the ability of U.S. scientists to track flu and other pathogens. That could be a blow to the development of the 2025 flu vaccine.
