I wish it didn’t feel so unusual and inspiring to see a leader treating everyone like they matter and saying that we have a responsibility to help each other
Combatting poverty and hunger in this city will take every single one of us. Myself included.

Grateful for our Best in Show!
Doggo, Scout, got a funeral home visit to open it up and run a bit on this rainy day. Love having her excited energy in the space.
Un/related: how legit is that new rug that started and guides the interior updates. Really hoping it will pull the building together.

Every year around this time, I ask folks to consider doing something in support of Native people. This year, please join me in supporting the Native Organizers Alliance as they build grassroots power, defend Native voting rights, and equip our people for collective struggle through skill-building.

To be clear (since NPR isn't), the "joke" is premised on the fact that Trump is kidnapping people w/o due process and shipping them to offshore concentration slave camps in defiance of court orders, human rights accordances, the U.S. constitution, all tenets of common decency, and international law.
President Trump brought grievances to the Thanksgiving pardoning ceremony on Tuesday. He joked about sending the turkeys to a prison in El Salvador, and claimed that last year's turkey pardons were invalid. n.pr/48nUsYx
Trump spares turkeys — but not his political opponents — at annual pardoning ceremony

(A) stop feeling pressure to be perfect;
(B) normalize asking questions, because that is normalizing learning;
(C) do not ask AI if your turkey is done; ask a meat thermometer

Hey @mayorcarter.bsky.social are you in control of the St. Paul police or are you no longer in control of them as they are claiming on the ground as they assault residents?

Finding out my uncle aka boss/colleague for many years at the funeral home is down to his last living days of life right before this grief garland event might be the best/worst timing.

I'm up sitting with my intentions for the "Grief Garland Making: Conversations & Crafting" gathering at the funeral home tomorrow. The night before has me feeling like a grief imposter, but I am acknowledging that I'm not the expert - but a grieving person in search of communal grief & life support.

If you're buying gifts for the holidays, maybe consider supporting artists, writers, creators. Gift someone a Patreon, commission an art piece, buy a book, purchase handmade jewelry, etc. Your support means everything.

Sent an obit to the newspaper yesterday at 1pm for a Sunday run. Awaiting a proof back two hours before deadline and I am STRESSED. It still needs to get to the family before the 2pm deadline for their eyes/heart to green light it. Arranging flowers for tomorrow between obsessively refreshing email.

Glad to see such a large opening night crowd for women’s hockey in St. Paul.
Also glad to see my state’s team, which sees fit to employ a transphobic goon, lose.
