Mostly organic material and a series of vibrations registering as sound.
Abides in the liminal space between the Twin Cities of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, where nothing is quite real and anything is possible.
Drums, mandolin. Rarely at the same time.

The universe winds down. That's how it's made.
But memory is everything to lose;
Although some of the colors have to fade,
Do not believe you'll get the chance to choose.
Regret, by definition, comes too late;
Say what you mean. Bear witness. Iterate.
~ John M. Ford

Last week, I briefly considered being done with baking for a while.
And then I made bread at the Airbnb we were staying at with extended family for a funeral.
And then I bought two baking books at one of my favorite bookstores—Lowry’s in Three Rivers, MI.
Anyway, I think I’ll keep baking.

Once again, because I am compelled to scream this into the void:
The solutions to removing people from power who have ignored the law and refuse to live in society is to withdraw the protections of law and society from them.
This is the Paradox of Tolerance. Without it, we all die. They kill us.

a big chunk of us from uni saw phantom menace on opening night and I have *never* again experienced what felt like quiet deflation across the entire audience as the film rolled towards its conclusion

The Washington Post printed a love letter to Michele Tafoya today. The only pushback came from me. Any woman who shames another by doubting how “devastating” her miscarriage was, does not have the character to be a public servant. I think Minnesotans care about character, which Tafoya clearly lacks.

People still seem confused about what will happen when Anthropic goes public.
It’s not complex:
Founders and initial investors get paid, then speculators get paid, then the bubble deflates and the middle class takes the hit. If that last happens too fast, it causes a recession.

CBS finally admitted it faked Nixon's response but not until Florida Democrats fell all over themselves telling people not to vote for the Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate
Last night, South Florida Democrats joined with Republicans and issued knee jerk statements to something Angie Nixon said about Cuba during an interview with CBS.
Turns out, CBS admitted they got it wrong in a follow up post and deleted the original tweet.

*1400* kids missing from school between Minneapolis and St Paul this year. This is heartbreaking.
Minneapolis Public Schools just emailed to say that enrollment is down this year—likely due to Metro Surge—with 900 fewer English Language Learners compared to this time last year. An estimated $12.9 million less revenue for our schools.
The impacts of ICE on our community continue to mount.
