After the cold snaps, 19 above feels like a summer day. Shout out to all the Minnesotans walking around without coats today.

Some people have phone a friend- my spouse just invoked “call in the history major” (me) when the conversation about colonization and combatants of WWI got out of his depth during the first grader’s bathtime

Costco cashiers flinch when they see me coming with these carts, because every pair has to be counted by hand. But having a warm pair of gloves for every neighbor who comes through the door or we meet on outreach? Priceless.

The @supplydepotmpls.bsky.social gave out all our warm gloves during the last cold snap- but good news: Costco had gloves on markdown so I was able to stock up for distro.

Had to read a passage of @lollardfish.bsky.social ‘s Oathbreakers out loud tonight to my spouse, because I was so flummoxed by the story of Leo III’s eyes and tongue mysteriously healing. Side note, violently blinding your rivals seems to have been distressingly common in this period.
