Another beautiful sunset.🤩 Gone within a few minutes.

Brilliant sunset with hues of bright pink and pale violet with the black silhouettes of trees on the horizon..

Very relieved to see they caught him. I’ve had my head on a swivel more than usual the last few days.

Well, this is a very scary thing to happen super close to where I live. Now I’m wondering if this is why a police cruiser was driving around my apartment building’s parking lot early this morning.👀

Flyover at the Twins game tonight. Not sure what direction they’ll come in from today, but a couple years ago on 9/11 they flew directly over my apartment and scared the crap out of me. I’m prepared this time.

Holy macaroni, again!! These are absolutely wild State Fair numbers.

Kristin Herrick @kristinherrick.bsky.social · 28/08/2026

Whoa, I was right! We blew the attendance record out of the water this year!

I was way too wiped out to stay up for the lunar eclipse last night (7 hours in the ER [I’m fine] will do that to you), but I was glad to catch this pretty scene this morning. Roseville, MN

Full moon on the horizon in a sky of pale pink clouds fading up to a clear pale blue sky, with the dark silhouette of evergreens at the bottom of the horizon.

Kristin Herrick @kristinherrick.bsky.social · 27/08/2026

Based off how jammed the street parking is around the park and ride near me, I’m gonna go ahead and predict record-breaking attendance at the MN State Fair today (makes sense with the beautiful weather).

Unexpectedly beautiful & peaceful moment when I looked out the window tonight.❤️ (Roseville, MN)

Fading sunset with hues of pale blue, peach, and pink with a crescent moon and Venus visible in the sky next to the black silhouettes of evergreen trees and some wispy clouds.

Kristin Herrick @kristinherrick.bsky.social · 12/08/2026

Sincerely hope I never hear anything about Royce White, Angie Craig, or Mike Lindell aka pillow guy ever again as long as I live.

Kristin Herrick @kristinherrick.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Okay, I was voter number 333 at my polling place in Roseville this afternoon. Happy to give my vote to @peggyflanagan.bsky.social!

Kristin Herrick @kristinherrick.bsky.social · 11/08/2026

Could someone please remind me how to tell what voter number you are at your polling place (in MN)?

Wish the Hunters could’ve made it a closer game, but it was still fun to watch. Congrats, Firebells! Looking forward to the next game! #wpbl

Kristin Herrick @kristinherrick.bsky.social · 03/08/2026

I’ve somewhat arbitrarily chosen the Boston Hunters as my team to root for, but I reserve the right to cheer for anyone I want to at any given moment, lol. #wpbl

Girls will say “I needed this” and it’s just women playing professional baseball.⚾️ #wpbl

I know, I know, “no crying in baseball,” but I can’t help getting a little emotional about watching the WPBL game tonight.⚾️❤️

Seems a little redundant for my neighbor to be standing outside smoking a cigarette in this air quality.

Kristin Herrick @kristinherrick.bsky.social · 15/07/2026

Wild to watch the wildfire smoke move into the Twin Cities in real time. Literally wasn’t there 20 minutes ago. I can’t stop thinking about everyone up north; my heart is hurting for everyone dealing with the fires.💔

Kristin Herrick @kristinherrick.bsky.social · 08/07/2026

Just realized I haven’t heard cicadas yet this summer; seems a bit late. It’s the quintessential sound of summer for me. (Having my a/c off and windows open for a bit today made me think of it.)

One of my neighbors just *started* setting off fireworks at 1:15 this morning. Why are people?🫩

Kristin Herrick @kristinherrick.bsky.social · 05/07/2026

I’ll take this over fireworks any day!🤩 #mnwx

A vivid sunset with bright peachy pinks and bluish-lavender hues.

really cannot be emphasized enough that the drafters of the birthright clause very much considered cases analogous to undocumented immigrants and *included them too*

Ohhhh, I just made the connection that all the spam calls from local area codes I’ve been getting today are roofing companies because of the hailstorm.😖 Not even safe from it when you live in an apartment, sheesh.

Kristin Herrick @kristinherrick.bsky.social · 19/06/2026

Finally done; that went on for more than 10 minutes. Mostly pea-sized, but some larger pieces mixed in. People are out in the parking lot, inspecting their cars for damage, but I doubt they’ll find much.

Kristin Herrick @kristinherrick.bsky.social · 10/06/2026

Holy crap, my power keeps going off and back on. Never seen anything like it before.

Whoa, these lightning strikes are right overhead.😱 One just set off someone’s car alarm.

Pics from my walk today. Central Park in Roseville, MN.

Okay, I swear this rain was not in the forecast. My plans for this morning were a car wash and a hike.😑

Kristin Herrick @kristinherrick.bsky.social · 17/04/2026

Weird, there was no evening awwoooo in my part of Roseville.🤔

Kristin Herrick @kristinherrick.bsky.social · 05/04/2026

Wow, I needed the walk and the sunshine this morning. Lots of buds on the trees; going to be lots of green popping very soon!🌱👀

The wind is making noises in my apartment that sound like a human voice moaning; it’s seriously creeping me out this Friday the thirteenth.🫣

Okay, I knew I liked Brandi Carlile, but after watching that livestream I think I love her? I’m obsessed. What a life-giving show.❤️

The only Spanish I know I learned from Sesame Street and Selena, but my interpretation of that halftime show was love for Puerto Rico and just… lots and lots of joy. Loved it so, so much!!❤️❤️❤️

Kristin Herrick @kristinherrick.bsky.social · 04/02/2026

Wow, my first first Wednesday of the month on the MSP feed; I never knew there could be so many “awooo” posts, lol.😆

I don't really go to concerts anymore (too much sensory overload for my autistic brain), but I gotta admit it would have been freaking AMAZING to see Tom Morello *and* Bruce Springsteen at First Ave.

I really feel like me being a Nosy Nellie for the past couple years is paying off rn because I recognize pretty much every vehicle in my apartment parking lot and can immediately tell when a vehicle shows up that doesn’t belong there.

I had totally forgotten that Cities Church (where the protest happened on Sunday) was a Bethlehem Baptist (i.e. John Piper) church plant. That explains why I was, at one point, very seriously considering attending Cities Church (as a longtime BBC attendee).
