I’m a little worried. I had no reaction to the flu vaccine at all, and the last time that happened I got Flu A later that season, and it was not mild

May this incident put an end to the death penalty in the U. S. It should be obvious even to supporters-in-theory that no federal or state officials can be trusted with it.

Each school year by Oct. 1, homeschoolers have to send a letter to the district declaring their plans and including certain info about the kids, such as immunization records and testing plans. I mailed this year's letter on Sep. 10. MPS emailed me: It hasn't arrived. This is a skeet about voting.

Been there. I now won’t order drinks delivered unless I’m sure they come in cans or bottles. That one time with the mango lassi even convinced my *kids* it wasn’t worth it.

Hey, these all sound like normal, healthy feelings about a fucked up situation. You are allowed to grieve just exactly the parts that feel like grief, there’s no part that you have to take or have to leave, grief has its own internal consistency and doesn’t have to follow an outsider logic. Be well

no no no hear me out top it with sliced bananas and then absolutely drench it in honey if you add a little bit of chopped nuts it's like eating baklava for breakfast

Chills. This is 100% on point. There are social workers across the Greater Minnesota who know their local jurisdictions won’t be able to meet someone’s needs. They pull money out of their own pocket, buy them a bus ticket to Minneapolis, and tell them where to go to get help.

It was definitely on HBO in the eighties. I remember it with fondness!

We went to Rome with our kids ages 14, 11, 8, 4, and 8 months in 2014. A highlight for me was taking the two oldest to the Galleria Borghese (needs advance tickets). The Bernini sculptures! Nothing beats walking around and around Apollo and Daphne. Besides that, I mainly remember eating gelato.

We have charcuterie board for dinner every Sunday. Cheese, prosciutto, nuts, veggies and hummus, good red wine. Tonight I made a spread with smoked fish, beets, sour cream, and capers. Triscuits and saltines and everything-bagel-chips.

To me one of the most encouraging things about Francis of Assisi is how you can see his rather chaotic trajectory as a saint as an effort to figure out the traumas of whatever he saw at the battle of Collestrada and went through in his imprisonment in Perugia. The worst things can make us amazing.

no recipe needed canned salmon 1 egg per 14.75-oz can some flavor compounds like mayo, dijon mustard, herbs, minced onion, whatever you want add crumbs or meal of some kind. patty. shallow-fry. succotash: kidney beans, limas, and corn sautéed in a little butter. Can/froz, both ok. that’s it!

Erin Arlinghaus @arlinghausfamily.com · 04/10/2026

Every time I make salmon patties for dinner and serve them on a bed of succotash, I ask myself: why do I not do these more often? they are easy and simple and they taste fancy

The rural man loves two things above all else: 1) Limited government that stays out of our business 2) The ability to point the limited government like a gun at a neighbor who doesn’t mow their lawn with the fanatical zeal of a retiree with a riding mower and no hobbies who hates his wife

He also tells Isaac that God will provide the sacrifice. And indeed there it is caught in the brambles.

I wonder how many yaktrax MSP bought last year. I started with yaktrax and I was still sliding around so my husband gave me his traction spikes, a little toothier (but don’t walk in on your wood floors).

I have been dreading when I have to get out my boots. I bought step-in boots expressly for when I had to run outside fast, and mounted Black Diamond traction spikes to the bottoms with cordelette. They’re in my mudroom where I left them at the thaw. The whistles are on a hook by the door.

The 2nd take is not wrong; still, we’d like to use the power of in-group pressure, if there is any, to shame those who claim Christ while proudly dehumanizing (and hopefully steer folks on the margins away from them). I also think the word “heresy” is appropriate, but not sure it is well received.

010

Erin Arlinghaus @arlinghausfamily.com · 27/09/2026

I’ve been thinking about 2 takes in tension: 1-Calling out Christians for racism & cruelty with “this is not consistent with Christ, it is un-Christian;” 2-folks pointing out it’s historically consistent with the behavior of Christians, & we don’t get to absolve historical Christianity of that.

I also have not heard of “Choosin’ Texas” till now but I think the important context is that I just went to look at the Billboard Hot 100 and (though I promise you I recognize a good number of the artists) I have also not heard of the other 99 songs I listen to NPR

It really is! Totally recommend the crop art exhibit btw — You can get up close to the crop art and take your time with no lines!

bas-relief moonscape made of 90,000 grains of quinoa

shiny landscape made of dyed and natural rye straw. looks metallic!
