Training for a triathlon in MN summer has become an exercise in faith that the air will be healthy enough and the temperature not dangerous (in addition to endurance). Grateful for such improvement in air this morning and slightly lower temps so I can test out the results of months of training.

I just looked up from my kitchen sink and looked out the window to see this friend about 10 feet away. Awestruck.

I met a woman in Mpls working as a clerk at a local shop. She had moved from New Orleans. Her Nola landlord had to raise rent bc insurance was so expensive. And this woman moved to Mpls driven, at least in part, to seek lower costs. How do we explain this w/o talking about climate change?

Some of the people I most admire are those who dedicate their lives to the day-to-day government work of keeping us all safe. And the career folks at the Nuclear Regulatory Commission are definitely those people. This is so concerning.

The low-maintenance costs (and not having to make the appointments for maintenance like oil changes) are one of the many reasons I love driving an electric car.

I had to do the first-ever maintenance on my 2017 Bolt (which I bought used ~5 years ago). It was making a weird noise. I took it to the dealership, they hooked it up to a computer, it was a quick software fix, cost $200. That's $200 in maintenance across 5 years.

Update on the first bike commute of the season. After a season of being closed, my favorite bridge over the Mississippi River is open! The Dinkytown Greenway Bridge (aka Bridge 9). Isn’t that view just gorgeous?

First bike/bus commute of the season on @metrotransitmn.bsky.social! I’m a bit of a fair-weather bike commuter especially with dark and ice. But new season is here! And I can’t help note it coincides with the onset of $100/barrel oil prices.

I’ve had the honor & pleasure of working with Ashley. So grateful she is bringing her skill & wisdom to this moment in this way. I’m tempted to say her magic, but that isn’t right. She is a talented person who loves her community and stepped up. It feels like magic, but we can all do it in some way.

The twin cities snowstorm was more than i expected! So I last-minute decided to walk/train/bus home from St Paul to Mpls. And I’ve had the best @metrotransitmn.bsky.social experience. The trip advisors on the green line dealt respectfully w/ someone smoking on train. And I caught the 9 bus quickly!

Bring all the detained children home to Minnesota. And stop detaining children. It is horrifying that this is happening. The educators working so hard to hold their school communities together and sound the alarm for all of us to act are heroes. These educators are heroes who protect kids.

I love Mpls. My kid has a small list of safe foods including a v. specific order from our neighborhood pizza shop. Today, 5 mins after ordering, I got a call from them confirming it was right. It wasn’t! The guy making it recognized the order & that it wasn’t right. So, he checked. Dinner saved! 🥺

There isn’t any indication that immigration activity has changed in Minneapolis. In fact, this afternoon, federal immigration agents began staging at Holy Rosary Catholic Church located in East Phillips. This activity is disgraceful and creates an unsafe environment for our neighbors. 1/

Calling the residents of Minnesota who have been shown documenting or attempting to witness ICE activities in our midst “protesting” is inaccurate. ICE is ubiquitous. We don’t go to ICE, we see it in our daily lives. Secondly, legal observing is our only recourse to defend ourselves. 👇🏻

Gathered with my neighbors to to light a candle and sing for Alex, for our neighbors in fear, for each other. Courage is not absence of fear. It is feeling fear and showing up anyway.

To add to this, make sure you eat enough. Your body needs fuel to stay warm in this cold. And bring snacks that are easy to eat and will give a shot of energy.

I was just denied access to the ICE processing center at the Whipple Building. Members of Congress have a legal right and constitutional responsibility to conduct oversight where people are being detained. The public deserves to know what is taking place in ICE facilities.
