‘They digest externally’: the artist who creates paintings with live flies For over a decade, John Knuth has created art using the regurgitation of flies and after he lost his home in the California wildfires, his work has a new perspective

I’m so proud of my brother. Read about his art & its development over decades. I love how he weaves nature, climate, beauty, & bugs! So cool to see how the root of our shared childhood (lots of time searching for creatures outside) led to different career paths www.theguardian.com/artanddesign...

This is helpful! I've been trying to find something like this for awhile and couldn't figure it out.

Well, I applied in April. But late April. So, probably still going to be awhile.

I really didn't think it would be an issue with over 10 weeks of lead time on the Real ID.

Yeah... I'd do that if my passport wasn't expired. Another thing I need to get on top of. 🤦‍♀️

Ugh... Thanks for letting me know.

Hey Minnesota folks... anyone have a sense of how long a Real ID is taking to get sent out in our state? it's been 10 weeks since I did my paperwork, and I have some travel getting close. So, I'm getting a little nervous. Also, if you know how to check on timing, let me know!

We are going to need to lean into being there for each other even more. And hold onto our humanity and the humanity of others as we fight for our futures.

The Grand Opening of an American Concentration Camp The Republicans are proudly calling it “Alligator Alcatraz.” Let’s call it what it is.

This is sickening and scary and morally abhorrent.

Hyper local coverage from Bryn Mawr. I saw a big burst of sparks caused by a tree hitting the powerline across the street from my house. Power went out. Then could briefly see treetop on fire. Luckily, rain put it out. That was ~1245. Xcel fixing it by ~330. Power back on by 4. Impressed by Xcel!

Oh no. My body just broke out in chills of adrenaline. This is awful. Praying for safety everyone.

Turtles are on the move this time of year, likely looking for a safe place to lay their eggs.

The President’s Power to Call Out the National Guard Is Not a Blank Check Domestic deployment under Section 502(f) has its limits, and for good reason.

Posting for no reason.

A letter from a mail carrier to a little girl thanking her for writing so many letters to deliver. And including drawings of two dogs - Kennedy and Nixon - and a little girl.

Not the same mail carrier, but since we could all use some more reminders of the many good people making our communities special, here is the letter. Written in May 2020… when sending letters (with lots of stickers) had been a main activity of my 3-year-old for several months.

Hmmm… I don’t think of him as particularly tall. I’m looking for a pic of the very sweet note he wrote to my daughter to see the handwriting.

Is your mail carrier named Dominic? I’m curious because we had Dominic for awhile, during the early parts of Covid, and he was the BEST!

The ICE raids are designed to be scary for people and communities. They are part of rising fascism in the United States. Grateful to see SEIU standing strong with their members and for freedom in our country.

Currently sitting on a bus headed to work. Driver greeted me nicely. Fellow passengers are a bunch of people who also seem to be heading to work. Maybe a little bleary-eyed because it’s pretty early. Definitely a good crew to be hanging with for awhile this morning.

Attorney General Keith Ellison: We did — and can still — have justice in response to George Floyd’s murder The federal government has walked away from the Minneapolis consent decree. We’re still here.

We can break the cycle of inaction that has claimed far too many lives — but only if we act. My reflections on the fifth anniversary of George Floyd's death. www.startribune.com/attorney-gen...

Five years on, I still have hope & belief in the depth of love in the people of Minneapolis and the threads among them. We haven’t yet woven the future each of us, especially Black neighbors, deserves. Yet we continue. For those that continue to love, to believe, to weave together, I’m grateful.

Five years on, my heart aches as I see the specter of police and state violence looming larger, the scourge of white supremacy feeling stronger still in our nation.

Five years on, my heart aches for George Floyd’s family and
loved ones. And for our community.

The horrifying murder of George Floyd at the hands of a Minneapolis police officer has sent out ripples into our community and across the globe.

I’ve been thinking about George Floyd all day. And his family. Five years a hole that can never be filled has been missing in a family and our community.

I’m currently in a similar situation with the mini poodle. It’s great.

Woah. This is so scary and horrifying

Strong start to the week with getting to ride to work on the bus adorned by Planned Parenthood information.

Dangerous. So incredibly dangerous.
