I just think more things should start with "like a scrotum, here it is in a nutshell"

"The Inevitable Return of the Great White Dope"

This is running tomorrow! It would mean a lot if you subscribed to read it. It will be free to read but paid subs allow me to keep doing this work and to hire an editor (the fabulous @louisbien.bsky.social who did a ton of heavy structural lifting for me on this one): thefrankiedlc.news

SIRI PLAY GOLDEN BY HUNTRIX

I’m so happy for the U.S. women and so crushed for the a Canadian women. What a great game. EVERYONE WATCH THE PWHL NOW AND YOU CAN KEEP WATCHING ALL THESE PLAYERS GO AT IT!

LAILA EDWARDS MAKES BLACK HISTORY DURING BLACK HISTORY MONTH! And the US doesn't win without our hockey niece. It's a shame it's taken until 2026 for us to have a Black player. May we never know that life again.

OH MAMA DON'T YOU CRY

Heather, a Siamese cat, smizing at the camera. He was at the vet recently so his right wrist is shaved, which looks very silly.

He has to keep his calories up in order to maintain his rigorous nap regimen! Won't someone give him a treat?!

He is a good and sweet 17-year-old boy. Unfortunately, he's never eaten before. Where is his lunch!

(It is in his belly, I swear.)

Britta Curl with a dirty hit? NO WAY, NEVER, I AM SHOCKED

Too many men on the ice ... during the Women's Gold Medal game between the U.S. and Canada. Hmm ... how about too many players on the ice or too many skaters on the ice? For both men and women.

My cat!

My latest sesh was all Bon Iver, I've been going through a thing

Thanks for posting about this, the whole situation is infuriating

Just going to point out here that 40 years ago, Iowa was first in the nation for education.

The number of Iowans who use our public library system is still high:

"In FY24, Iowa public library cardholders totaled 1,749,934. Iowa is ranked 8th in the nation per capita for registered borrowers"

It's one of my more controversial hockey man opinions but watching him not get called for penalties over and over again because of Who He Is TM has really soured me on him. Which does not diminish the shittiness of the player who hurt him this time! There are just only like two men without sin.

Trying so hard not to be a hater but I hate that hockey player so 💅

You Can’t Fight Fascism While Defunding Libraries “Libraries embody everything that we need right now to fight back against fascism," says Sara Heymann.

"libraries absorb the stressors of a city where many people lack food, housing, mental-health care, and other basic supports. When a branch is operating with skeleton staffing, workers are often alone at a desk during escalating or threatening encounters." 📚

We read "Please Open This Book," "Your Nose My Nose," and "Toot Toot Beep Beep". We did the banana dance and impersonated melting snowmen. We tooted and beeped and honked. So many of them high fived me 😭😭

Everything is dark and horrible except I did storytime at a daycare today and at the end a small child declared, I LOVE YOU AND ALL YOUR BOOKS

I bet driving the Wienermobile is a fun job. You're basically a Richard Scarry character and everywhere you go, people are happy to see you.

I'm not a very good skater! But it would be such a flex if I remained upright

A collage of four video chat screens featuring Kyle Tran Myhre, Isha Camara, Ollie Schminkey and SEE MORE PERSPECTIVE. In the center of the image, text: "poetry against ICE: an asynchronous panel discussion: available now"

New! I got to "talk shop" with three of my favorite MN poets: @ollieschminkey.bsky.social, @seemore.bsky.social, and Isha Camara. We share poems, but *also* tools + tactics related to how language can be put to work as part of the struggle to abolish ICE and build a better world: guante.info/ICEOUT

“eyeblack identified four NBA teams — the Atlanta Hawks, Sacramento Kings, Charlotte Hornets, and Minnesota Timberwolves — with minority ownership directly linked to profiting from the federal government’s ICE-run mega jail shopping spree.”
