Agreed, and I think it looks nicer with bold textures/cables.

I know national attention has moved on from the ICE situation in MN (because, you know, war), but this is the signboard from one of the more conservative churches in my rural, red town of 3,000. We are going to win.

Is the president mocking the U.S. women’s hockey team on a celebratory call with the men’s team going to attract even an iota of the sustained handwringing that the idea of trans athletes disadvantaging women’s sports has gotten

I’m so sorry that happened. 😞 It’s tough because shelters can only do so much to evaluate dogs when the need is overwhelming. Foster based rescue helps a lot, but it’s far from a perfect system.

I’ve worked in dog rescue for many years and I will NEVER judge someone for getting a healthy, well-socialized puppy with the traits they desire from a reputable breeder. Rehabilitating unsocialized, anxious dogs is hard fucking work and not something the average pet owner is equipped to handle

Today we are launching a new intitative of Stand With Minnesotaβ€”KeepMNHoused.com, a rent-relief campaign backed with a $1.5 matching fund from the Wilson Foundation.

Thousands of MN families are at risk of eviction because of the ICE occupation’s lasting impacts. We can keep them housed.

So pleased with how these gorgeous egret mitts turned out, the pattern is the Thula mitts by Erica Heusser.
They are knitted in Big Fox yarn perfect sock, and I think they are my favourite pair yet!

It was less than two hours ago that Damian Hall started loop 3 barefoot to prevent his shoes from getting soaked in the stream. Max King covered his feet in plastic bags. Barkley runners evolve. #BM100

ICE out of Minnesota was our first goal, not the last.

Congress still needs to deliver justice and accountability for Alex, Renee and every Minnesotan who has spent the better part of 2026 in paralyzing fear.
