Weather report showing 53 degrees Fahrenheit

Y'all, it's February. In Minnesota.

Sitting in car gathering energy to go in & confront two separate work issues without sounding whiny or bitchy.

So is syphilis but that doesn’t mean we need to encourage it.

At the MN History Museum with my boys (spouse is the less gigantic one)

Is there a non-NBC feed of the Opening Ceremonies that doesn't have someone spouting nonsense throughout the performance? #olympics

So many icons… and randomly people being like “I like this one so you need to give it to me and stop using yours” 😹

Me: Wanna help me burn something at the precise full moon?

Spouse: Only if I can also burn some sweetgrass & we can spread the ashes with the ones from Yule to reinforce our wards.

Get someone who understands you in life.

Haven't we suffered enough this January? #ao3 #escapism

Temperature showing negative five with a windchill of negative twelve

Bit chilly today. Yes, there are still protests & raids. #minnesota #cold #iceout

What's going on in Minnesota right now is intense & scary & important, impacting not just one state in one country, but so very much more than that. Here's hoping we make it to the other side.

Do you know how long I looked for my phone?

Aw, just got Whammed at MIL's

Ok people working today, we’ve got this!

I've gone nearly 25 years without work publishing a picture of me, but they are insisting on one now.

I usually say “I want a pony” which my family & coworkers know is a warning I’m going to need some quiet time or I’m going to snap & take everyone down with me.
