Remember when the Minneapolis police union put up their tactical fencing around their union hall in 2020? It was improved by local signage.

Frustrated to hear Minneapolis College's intention to suspend the Library Information Technology Program today. It's the only program like it in the state and it's where you can train to become a library paraprofessional, and was instrumental in launching my own library career.

I made a silent puppet film about Godzilla vs. Paul Bunyan. (thank you to @iamchubbybunny.bsky.social for Japanese translations and @okaywolf.ink for clanky piano!!)

Going eastbound on 94 I saw someone fully stop, slowly cross three lanes of traffic to get to 35W. They weren't even close to the exit for 35W, they were 40 feet past it. Insane to do at midnight with no cars around, criminally negligent to do at 5pm on a Sunday with 40 cars behind you.

Tomorrow, the Park Board is hearing a resolution that will kill the Uptown Mall Plan. This a result of intense lobbying from influencial East Isles neighbors. They are killing the plan so people don't park in East Isles. I need your help! Please come speak tomorrow or call/email your commissioner!

A brief photo recap of my recent trip to New Zealand. To no one's surprise I found it to be beautiful, from Wellington to these photos of the fjords. 1/?

Christmas Present Alert! If you are looking to buy a book for the middle grade reader in your life, consider getting Impossible Creatures by Katherine Rundell. Two kids are swept up into a fantastical adventure protecting a magical Archipelago. The perfect gift for a fantasy reader (or listener!)
