We heard these in Golden Valley the last couple days. Such a nice song. Great shot!

Hennepin County’s proposed layout for Lyndale Avenue S. falls short.
It’s not a people-first design. It’s a decorated, street-level parking lot, dusted with the occasional confetti of mode shift virtue signals.
No protected bikeways, 24/7 bus lanes, or green space throughout the entire corridor.
Opposite problem over here in Golden Valley. Trying to get to St. Paul by bike feels overwhelming right now. I still haven't tried to cross the river by bike since road construction season.

Everything is Terrible So Here’s a Picture of a Tree Everything is terrible so here’s a picture of a tree here’s a picture of a cat I’m sorry for sending you a picture of a cat when everything is terrible No, don’t be, please I want the pictures of cats of trees Maybe it’s me who’s irresponsible, wanting those pictures of trees of cats when everything is so terrible No, it’s not It’s not irresponsible to want to remember the fragility of a leaf and its power too the way it buds and grows and changes color and falls. The way it feeds some and shelters others, all while powering something mighty, with such deep roots It’s not irresponsible to want to look at soft warm fur, and imagine pressing your face into that softness, or to contemplate the miracle of toes spread wide in pleasure, or smile at some small naughtiness captured in pixels You send me these things because you love me. And I send them to you because I love you yes, even if I don’t know you I am sending you this picture of a tree, this picture of a cat, because I love you and I want you to know that you are loved enough for me to want you to remember trees and to remember cats even when it feels wrong to do so. Let us both remember that trees have roots that dig into the earth and branches that reach to the sky even on the worst days. And cats— cats especially— for they are famous for enjoying the soft caress of a friend one moment and turning into a ferocious ball of claws and teeth and bristling fur and indignation the next as must we. So send me your pictures of cats of trees And let us both save our apologies for what we cannot do instead of what we can.
I wrote you a poem this morning.

2 acrylic monoprints using blue, purple, orange, crimson and yellow. Each print uses stencils with repeating rectangle and oval patterns.
Experimenting with gel plate tonight. Adding layers to make things more interesting. Some turned out cool, some got pretty blah looking. I like the one on the right, especially.

5 acrylic monoprints using blue, pink, yellow, grey and black. Each print used a stencil that resembles bubbles of varying sizes.
I got inspired watching a YouTube video by EddieMakesArt www.youtube.com/watch?v=cjVK.... He shows how you can use a stencil on a gel plate for repeated prints with some interesting results. Fun little session tonight! Thanks, Eddie! Not sure if you're on Bluesky.

Gel plate and acrylic paint work from tonight. Playing with layers and how colors work (and don't, lol) together.

I'm a Minnesotan who is very interested in what you intend to do about Nancy Mace's measure to ban trans women from the women's bathroom in the Senate. I'm hoping you'll stand up against hate. Trans rights are human rights. Can you please let us know what your plan is?

Experimented with the gel plate and acrylic paints. I was trying to work on shapes and straight lines. I learned a lot though I was kind of underwhelmed with how these turned out. Onward. 😀

I've been playing a lot with my Gelli Arts printing plate and acrylic paints. I don't know where this is going but it's been fun and it's keeping me out of jail and off Twitter.

Some pictures from my walk yesterday before I heard any US election results. I was elated and hopeful. Fall in Minnesota is beautiful.
