Joe: ring your bell if you need anything Me: I have a bell?? Joe. No. Me: 😒 We made it home! Crutching upstairs was no fun! (Well, half crutch/half scoot.) Joe got me all set up with everything I need, even without a bell. He wrote a meds chart for me too! He’s the best. ☺️

A terrifying escalation:

Got my knee fixed! Hanging out here for a bit before heading home. It is perfect outside in Rochester right now! Also, I love Mayo Clinic. And I love my husband Joe who is taking the best care of me! 🥰 Wish me luck crutching around for 4-6 weeks.

NEW: California sues the US govt, claiming that its commandeering of the California National Guard—"without consent or even official notice to the governor"—is beyond the scope of its powers and a violation of the 10th Amendment and the APA. oag.ca.gov/system/files...

Pretty easy for Minneapolitans to believe

RIP Sly Stone, who created some of my favorite songs and laid a foundation for so much of my favorite music over decades This has been on repeat for me the last several months on my Stay Sane in the Face of Fascism playlist. Feels so good, like a Sly song should www.youtube.com/watch?v=8TcF...

What more do you need to see? The President of the United States wants his Immigration czar to arrest the Governor of one of the most populous states in the country.

Aww my phone gave me a fun memory today: Ron Kelsey, past long-time superintendent of crops and scarecrow at the MN State Fair. He is posing with the Mr. Men type book I made based on him and his corn tattoo. 🌽📖🖼️🥰

Hello. I live in Los Angeles. The president is lying.

The @stpauligrrrl.bsky.social Hold Steady crop art is back after some repairs, and now is in line with a view of Target Field too

Craig Finn has so much joy in his new home overlooking the Twins ball field!

Some fun facts about hockey equipment in honor of the Stanley Cup. - neck guards exist - people routinely get hit with hard rubber and feel very little - ice hockey is a popular sport in MN - roller hockey is played in LA - you might know someone who plays or used to -hockey is for everyone!

EDM festival 1.5 miles away is something. I feel bad for the people who live closer than we do.

When long Covid first appeared, I told people the symptoms were just like what I had when recovering from mono in my late 40s. I think I was extra cautious with masks and everything because I didn’t want to have that again. Just the pits. I hope they figure this out.

Latest pet peeve: background music in instructional videos while a person is explaining something. I just want to learn how to do the thing and I don’t want to listen to shitty background music. Does anyone thing this is good? And if so, why? Just because you can do a thing doesn’t mean you should.

My full statement on the federal action at Lake and Bloomington yesterday. Please be wary of those who are trying to downplay the trauma and pain our community experienced yesterday. These scenes were harmful and our city was complicit.

I got a yummy burrito with Rancho Gordo beans at St. Paul Meat Shop today, and guess what? They have parking behind the shop! Right next to the hardware store. Easy peasy.
