Logging off for a while (probably just for the day). I've checked in on my people (yes, even my ex-husband) and it is time for me to stop drinking from the firehouse. I'll be available for any of you that are blessed with my contact details. Wishing you all safety!

I would like my state, every state, to mandate badges, name plates, no masks, for all law enforcement in the state. And if federal agents try to break the mandate, arrest them, then let the courts sort it out.

If you have a copy of Let This Radicalize You, pls note that there is an appendix in the back that talks about what to do if the police or any agent of the state shows up at your door. A trusted movement attorney wrote this section. Nothing will keep us 100% safe, but pls be aware of best practices.

For people who aren't just trusting MN folks who actually know about this, please see the MN legislative calendar, which clearly states that the next session starts in February of 2026. So kindly STFU about the split legislature. www.leg.mn.gov/cal?type=all

Bring Me The News, The Tribune, MPR News, and other local places are much better sources than national ones who barely know what the DFL is.

I want to scream this from the rooftops. There is time to hold a special election before the legislature has to do anything. This is awful because it's awful, not because it's going to flip the legislature.

And Hope Hoffman, the senator's daughter, is a disability advocate in MN. She's unharmed, but was, by reports, present during the attack. Thinking of her.

Who puts cream cheese in a deviled egg?!? Don't mind me taking shots of Benadryl. Seriously, the one time I don't look at the fricken label because every other time has been fine from that store, BAM! dairy. Fricken dairy allergies, because why not have extra benadryl on my infusion weekend?

I wish to speak for a moment to my femme-presenting people. Do you like skirts and dresses? Do you enjoy the swish? Do you sometimes think "gosh this skirt is perfect except for its limited potential as a smuggling vessel?" Well, do I have the shop for you.

Sometimes a friend gives you a container of chicken wild rice soup and you hold onto that friend forever because the soup is amazing.

Yes, you personally need accessibility no matter your age or if you identify as having a disability. Don’t make me write an article people!

That's right, my free covid science zine is BACK for 2025 baybee, because respiratory viruses sure didn't go anywhere! Biggest change: I simplified ALL the dang text to make everything easier to follow. READ ON to learn WHY WE MASK, then print & share to your heart's delight!

Tonight's dinner is pork chops with sauerkraut and apples, mashed potatoes, and mixed vegetables. Apparently I decided I needed food my grandparents used to feed me as a child.

In the spirit of circulating more good info, the stunt boob I mention from time to time is not recreational. I'm a titty expert. As in, I've been an internationally board certified lactation consultant for going on two decades. Let's talk breast cancer and mammograms for a sec.

Attendance was already going to be low for these games. Now that shit is definitely going to plummet. The World Cup next year is going to be a clusterfuck.

i stopped wearing red crosses more than a decade ago, because police habitually target medics. this isn’t a one-off, it’s a deliberate choice they make over and over again. it’s not “a few bad apples,” it’s widespread practice.
