Had a fantastic time volunteering with Solcana Fitness and helping to raise almost $135K at Drop Deadlift Gorgeous today. The vibe reminded me how awesome Mpls still is, esp the little nexus of cool businesses and orgs on Lake and Minnehaha www.instagram.com/reel/DPHgONJ...

Election 2025: Minneapolis City Council, Ward 7 The tl;dr is to vote for Katie Cashman, who is the hardworking moderate with a commitment to constituent service that all the conservative Minneapolis Democrats say they want. On the ballot: Katie …

I (also Jewish) worked as an archivist for the YMCA Archives (they are located at the UMN Libraries) for over 20 years and it's an org with almost 175 yrs of fascinating history in the US.

Hmmm. I'm still bitter about the parking citation I got in dntwn St Paul while legally parked at a paid for meter. Fortunately I had the receipt to prove it, but getting it dismissed was a huge PITA. It felt like they were counting on folks giving up because it would be easier to just pay the fine.

Seconding the comment re: Make Me Admin! I've been at UMN for 20+ years and always had some kind of admin access when I needed it. Unfortunately I think ppl have very different experiences with this sort of thing depending on their dept, but you can now apply for MMA directly from OIT via a form.

I have fond memories of Vyvyan eating the telly.

It's legitimate labor, IMO. You've consistently posted content that is relevant to me as an archivist. I day go for it!

Stay away from the waves. Did you hear about the guy near Lutsen? www.startribune.com/man-dies-aft... Yikes!!

No Lyndale this year. Hennepin instead, but only about 10 blocks. Since a big chunk of Hennepin in that area is already closed for construction it hardly even counts, IMO. The last two years on Lyndale were definitely low key compared to previously, and a much smaller section of the street. Lame-o.

Sooo I was at a coffee shop and the girl in line behind me decided to ask if I’d heard about Jesus.

In the United States.

In 2025.

“I have heard the sales pitch, yes,” I said. “I’m happy with my current religious services provider and not looking to make a switch.”

Yeah a lot of us couldn't really hear, even with the bullhorn and didn't know what was going on so we just went rogue and toured on our own. The cats seemed OK with it.

Srsly this is helicopter-worthy news?? It's vibrating my whole house at 22nd and Hennepin.

Check out Moroccan Flavors in Midtown Global Market, a hidden gem tucked away in a corner. It's usually open later than many of the other places in the building and it's delicious!

+1 on Habanero. Also Morroccan Flavors in Midtown Global Market is a hidden gem!

Yes that song in the TLD version just exuded so much joy

Honestly I don't remember a ton of details, as it was 10 years ago,but one big difference is that it was originally staged in the round. Generally speaking tho, it just didn't have the same emotional impact on me.

I saw it on Broadway and I thought the Theater Latte Da production was actually better. I wanted to see it a second time but it didn't happen.

In today's @nytimes.com : "digital subscription revenue during the period jumped more than 14 percent. Those results helped drive adjusted operating profit 21.9 percent higher from a year earlier, to $92.7 million in the quarter." Makes me feel SO much better about my sub fee almost doubling!

Looks beautiful, so hopefully the aggravation was worth it!

Outrage is detrimental to my math and typing skills.

Ok so my math was wrong there, 233% as a subscription fee increase is not exactly comforting

If this is the student/educator rate, who on earth can afford the "regular" rate??? And more importantly, how am I supposed to get my Saturday and Sunday crossword puzzles?? (2/2)

Just got a notice that my @nytimes.com subscription (educator rate) is going from $12 to $20/month, making it the most expensive subscription I'd have by a large margin. This is after doubling from $6 just two years ago. So over 300% increase in 2 years! (1/2)

Excited to host the Midwest Archive Conference Annual Meeting here in Mpls next week! Can't wait to hear from our plenary speaker, Fallon Carey, on her work w/ historical data related to the National Native American Board School Healing Coalition! www.midwestarchives.org/2025-annual-... #MAC2025

Understanding IMLS's “Shall” and “May” Language EveryLibrary Institute is a 501c3 organization that supports library funding in the United States.

Here’s an explainer re possible impacts to the Institute of Museum & Library Services (IMLS). It “enumerates which programs are "shall" programs and duties, meaning that they are mandated by Congress, and which programs are "may" programs, meaning that they are discretionary for IMLS”
