This feels like a rebus puzzle

Ha - here from St. Paul ❤️😭 Double-thanks for the diversion, Ernie (and be safe, neighbor Kim ❤️)

I took a few hours off, but are we really at “banning whistles, but not banning guns”?!

🤣😭

Goddamn.

Everything is ridiculous.

7th list item: Trying to sprinkle some local love all around today, so feels like a great time to share my fave local spice-maker.

For those feeling blah, make a comfort food, then…

👏👏 put some spice on it 👏👏

find your own seasoning at @tastytin.com (spicy garlic dust is my personal go-to).

Hey, hey! Local and *I think* on your email list (let me double-check that right now, tho).

Freaking love your spicy garlic dust and try to remember to share it whenever I can (brain-fry here too...I think us locals get a pass).

6th list item: I've decided to start a daily log (with thoughts, art, a photo - whatever feels right for that day) as a means of both processing all of this and also keeping a personal record.

I realized on Sunday that I desperately needed an outlet for emotions I have been *sprinting* past.

5th list item: Checking in with a couple only-know-you-on-Bluesky friends to see how they're doing.

Someone did this for me a couple weeks ago and I didn't realize how much I needed it ❤️

4th list item: Following @lakelandnewspbs.bsky.social - a recommended local source for news from the north (thanks @skybluewaters420.bsky.social !).

3rd list item: Still $3090 from goal - give if you can ❤️

Twin Cities local here - this didn't happen today. Trying to get the OP to delete because it's confusing and harmful to people who *actually* live here and are on the ground.

2nd list item: Muffins for the neighbors. I am surrounded by grandparents and am trying to check in on them more (in part, to remind them to not post through it on FB).

A lower-sugar box mix was used (hey, doing what I can today) - may have inadvertently created a disappointing situation.

Feels like 1 step forward, 1 step back lately, so I'm focusing on sprinkling some good around, as I can, to tilt the scales.

1st on the list: Leveled up my @racketmn.com sub (+ merch to gift!). Hey Racket crew...you have no idea how much you've helped me get through this month. ❤️

GO SUBSCRIBE!!

Absolutely - going to get gas, running to the pharmacy, walking the dog, someone running up to your door - it could happen anywhere unexpectedly.

Nothing says, "I'll work hard for you" like a copy and paste campaign!

👏👏👏

Good grief. What's wrong with people!

January is Forever, Charlie Brown (TV-PG, 1973)

Come on man, we’re celebrating tonight 😭

A migrating loon has taken off for the Gulf of Mexico with Greg Bovino where they will drop him into a small shell, set him out to sea, wait until he thinks he’s safely made it away, and, at the last possible minute, hit him with the laser eyes, blasting him into five sand grain-sized pieces.

An entire city learned to be legal observers after a 17 year old was brave enough to bear witness to George Floyd's murder. I am heartbroken that Minneapolis experienced this violence, but thankful to Darnella Frazier and the people who followed her example.

Just what we want, to all be forced to stay inside at all times

brass solidarity band performing “ain’t no stopping us now” at pimento in minneapolis, blocks from where alex pretti was murdered by border patrol agents. truly the best of this city ❤️❤️❤️

Picture take. From above the SW corner of ice-covered Bde Maka Ska near sunset. Text above the pic reads: Help Minnesota signal its distress over DHS Operation Metro Surge! American Democracy and rule of law are under attack. Send a universal distress message by filling a monumental SOS on Bde Maka Ska with life and light! WHAT: Community Political Art Project WHEN: Friday 30 January 2026 TIME: 4:30pm - 5:30pm WHERE: Bde Maka Ska - North end SUPPLIES: A wind-proof candle or lantern The football field-sized mulch SOS is already laid out, now we need people to fill it so that we can drone film the message at sunset (5:18) with the city skyline in the background.

Hey Mpls peeps in particular. Who knows where we’ll be by Friday, but in case you’re looking for something to do Friday evening…

BREAKING: Border Patrol Cmdr. Gregory Bovino has been carried away by a small Minnesota owl, reportedly used to patch tiny hole in nest

Not that there isn't room for celebration too ❤️

This is a good reminder today that it's going to make their jobs easier for them if many of us feel like things have "gone back to normal".

I hate to snuff out the hopium pipe, but per SF Chronicle, Hegseth just approved the use of Fort Snelling’s military facilities by DHS. So it looks like they’re staying.

Incredibly gross and insidious that it was a "fun spectacle" during a public celebration

As I'm finding out in this very thread! And sometimes not women!

JESUS. I am sorry that happened to you!
