I think my old man cat has seriously slowed down over the past month. 😞 I have no idea how old he is. Low end is 15-16. He was my dad's.

When I emailed my city council member about Rose Avenue, I got a very boiler plate response from their assistant. I asked my partner to reach out (as I have asked y’all as well) and the response back was so polite, kind, empathetic, and from the councilwoman directly. It didn't happen to him.

Ok so my gpa was an amateur painter, I inherited his paintings. I have this one of an Amish farm at the top of my stairs. One day, my eye caught on a piece of greenery towards the bottom. Tell me, bluesky peeps: did this man paint this bush like this on purpose?!? It's all my eye is drawn to now. 😅

Was at the playground yesterday and heard "Oooh if you do x you're GAY" and then I heard a little voice pop up: "OR A LESBIAN" so at least the slurs are becoming more inclusive 😵‍💫

If you live in St Paul, please do me a favor and contact your city councilperson about SPPD's assault of community members and collusion with ICE on Rose Ave on 11/25/25. There has been no accountability. Please. I don't want this forgotten.

Did you know that people with serious trauma can feel unmoored in time? It feels v. wild to have to reassure yourself of what year it is.

Maybe if the city fixed the streetlights, SPPD wouldn't have to be shining their spotlight on two middle aged moms exchanging apple crisp at 9pm.

It's been almost a year since SPPD assaulted community members monitoring ICE actions on Rose Ave in St Paul. We still don't have answers or resolutions.

Something I do as an artist with a flexible schedule: entertain other people's children on random school closure days. I usually have 1-3 extra kids every time, since no one I know has enough PTO to cover all the days there's no school.

I will say: it's super easy as a parent to have red lines about future events. It's not easy to watch those red lines cut your child off at the knees.

yes, public schools are incredibly important AND my kid has been really struggling in her public schools. I won't withdraw her. AND She's not getting a good education AND the school itself is being fucked over. I am having a hard time reconciling all these things.
