Crop art at the Minnesota State Fair! It is what it says it is - art made from various parts of crops, primarily seeds, lentils, and grains, occasionally leaves or flowers. For any non-Minnesotans viewing this, I'll start with mostly less political pieces. It's harder than you might think.

Untitled? by Jenny Lau
A red heart with radiating lines is in the upper half of the piece. In the middle are two loons, rising up out of the water to either fly or dance. The words "Forever - MN" appear in black at the bottom. The piece is edged in a wavy border. You can see from the seedlist that the inspiration was a Keith Haring drawing on a US "Forever stamp" where people instead of loons are dancing and holding up the heart.

Crops include white sorghum, red sorghum, french lentil, canola, wild rice, garlic skin, and millet. Any others have been cut off by the photographer's (my) carelessness.

Untitled? by Alice Hogan
In the center are two traditional portrayals of Vikings, with horned helmets. The left is a bearded man with a photo of Governor Tim Walz's face, and the right character is a female with long blond braids and a photo of Lieutenant Governor Peggy Flanagan's face. She holds a scepter topped by what might be a stalk of wheatand stands next to some miniature ears of multi-colored corn. Below them are the words "WELCOME TO MINNESOTA" in blue and green. Behind the two Vikings are a lake or river with swans, a pink house I don't recognize, and a stylized version of the Minneapolis skyline with some of its landmark buildings such as the Foshay Tower and the IDS Center.

The seed list is partially hidden and partially too blurry to read due to the photographer's (my) inability to take good photos.

"Pac-MN" by Meredith Keller
This is a 3 dimensional piece in that the yellow frame of it is moved forward and shaped as if it's an arcade game. The screen has a black background. The words "MINNESOTA STATE FAIR 2026" are written in the Pac-Man font at the top left. the rest of the screen has a map of the fairgrounds making the path that Pac-Man can follow, complete with yellow trails. Some of the yellow trails have the street names spelled out on the seeds. The screen also has red and blue ghosts, but instead of the normal bonus icons we see a pickle, an ear of corn, some pronto pups, and a chocolate chip cookie - all popular foods at the MN State Fair.

The seedlist shows yellow painted mustard seed in a Pac-Man shape, and the rest of the seeds are lined up for Pac-Man to eat: red and blue painted mustard seed, black canola, white, yellow, and green millet, white navy bean, yellow soy bean, and yellow split pea.

This entry was awarded a blue ribbon for first place in its category.

"Minnesota Welcomes You" by Megan Bell
Paul Bunyan, in brown laced up boots, blue jeans, and a pink and ight blue checked shirt and cap, is neeling on the ground. He steadies an axe against the ground in his left hand, while his right hand is outstretched to the viewer. The grass is green, there are autumn colored trees in the background, and a multicolored swirly sky is above. The words "MINNESOTA WELCOMES YOU" are in the foreground.

This piece was made with amaranth, hulled barley, black beans, canola, flax seed, millet, rye berries, and wheatberry. Most of these were painted.

Today, I resigned all my DFL positions. I can no longer in good conscience support Amy Klobuchar for Governor, due to her votes for bills restricting trans healthcare and trans rights, and due to her making no effort to apologize for or atone for that. I can't go into Pride weekend supporting her.

Richard, Brian, and Michael,

I am writing to inform you of my decision to resign all my DFL posts (including Director in Stonewall DFL and Central Committee Member in SD62), effective immediately. This is not a decision I make lightly, but it felt like the only moral path forward for me.

Over the past year or two, I’ve spent a lot of my time and energy specifically on making the DFL better for trans people, especially trans women. It’s been a hard road, especially as more and more people kept saying and doing transphobic things within the party, as I wrote about here a couple months ago. I feel like in that time I have made some progress! There are more trans people in leadership roles within the party than there were previously, my trainings on how to talk about trans people have been successful, and I feel I’ve done my part to help continue mobilizing a real movement for trans rights both in the party and in the way elected DFL officials use their power. I’m grateful for the allyship many (including the three of you) have shown in these efforts.

But I can no longer in good conscience support Amy Klobuchar for Governor, and I cannot bring myself to stay silent about the ways in which she’s failed the trans community in the past and in which she may continue to harm us as Governor.

On December 18, 2024, Senator Amy Klobuchar voted to pass 2025’s National Defense Authorization Act, which banned TRICARE (health insurance for military servicemembers and their families) from covering trans healthcare for minors. Moreover, on October 9, 2025, Senator Klobuchar voted to pass the next year’s NDAA, which banned trans healthcare coverage for all TRICARE members, banned trans women from women’s sports at military academies, and banned trans people from using appropriate restrooms and locker rooms at all military installations. Senator Klobuchar’s complicity in blocking coverage for live-saving healthcare and in instituting discriminatory and bigoted policies in the Department of Defense is unconscionable. These are two of the first anti-2SLGBTQIA+ bills to pass Congress in decades, and Klobuchar voted for both of them.

Since then, Klobuchar has done nothing to apologize or to make amends with the trans community. She has not stood in solidarity with us as we continue to be attacked from all sides. She has not stated whether she will defend the current protections for trans people that the MN legislature passed into law under the leadership of Melissa Hortman and Kari Dziedzic. Despite many people expressing concerns about this to her campaign, there has been no expression of support for the trans community, and no efforts to earn our votes.

I cannot bring myself to stand by and allow her to be coronated as the DFL nominee for Governor when it risks the lives and well-being of myself and my trans neighbors across this state. I can't go into Pride weekend granting her campaign tacit support. Unless she changes her approach, dramatically and soon, I must urge everyone to vote against her in the primary. It is for this reason that I humbly resign from my posts, rather than force the party to remove me for malfeasance.

Sincerely and regretfully,

Luna Brekke (she/her)

Singaporean artist Leia Ham reimagined LotR as Tale of the Middle Kingdom, since Chinese name for China (Zhōngguó) means "The Middle Kingdom." Her concept art includes the Fellowship, armors, buildings like Bag End, props like Aragorn's banner and Fellowship brooches, and more. #TolkienTrewsday

An illustration of the Fellowship, reimagined with Chinese-style period outfits.

An illustration of armors of Gondor, Rohan, and Rivendell Elves, reimagined using different periods of Chinese armors as concepts. On the top right are three side profiles of Rohan man, Gondorian, and Elf with different Chinese hairstyles. On the bottom right is Aragorn's banner redrawn with Chinese influence.

A concept art of Bag End reimagined as Chinese court houses, with tall stone gates, round wooden doors, curved roofs, and open courtyard, nestled in a hill.

A concept art of Rivendell in the style of Chinese painting. Next to it are several props drawn in Chinese style such as Fellowship brooch based on gingko leaves, lembas in the shape of mooncake, Elfstone as round jade, Galadriel's phial in a green jade bottle, and shards of Narsil.

If Klob is only getting 2/3rds of the base against someone with no experience and who was a registered Republican only a few years ago, that should scare the shit out of her campaign The last time the DFL endorsed a candidate with big splits in the party, Jesse Ventura became the governor
