We’re blue, we’re green, we always support our team @mnaurorafc.bsky.social

The background is a photograph of Aurora borealis. The statement in white text:

REVONTULET

Minnesota Aurora FC supporters respectfully express disappointment in the USLW's decision not to select Aurora and TCO Stadium as a host site for this weekend's National Semifinal.

We recognize the league's broader logistical considerations, yet this outcome does introduce meaningful player safety concerns by requiring Aurora to undertake extensive travel for all three playoff rounds. It also represents a missed opportunity to highlight women's soccer in a premier facility with a large, engaged fan base.

Still, our commitment remains unwavering.
Aurora fans will be present in Seattle, supporters will gather at watch parties across Minnesota, and thousands of community owners will be cheering from home as we support our undefeated, Teal Football Club.

Trans people belong everywhere, every day. Revontulet, we, will be there to support them at every Aurora match and everywhere else. And today most especially, trans athletes belong in sports. No matter their age, no matter the sport, not matter what city or state they are in.

Today is the start of a whole month where we lift up the LGBTQ folks in our lives. You belong. You are cherished and loved for who you are. Respect and dignity for our queer friends, neighbors, and family are non-negotiable: we will never back down from fighting for inclusion! Happy pride!

As someone who went on the Internet for the first time in the early 90’s, I fucking loved the Internet. It has given so many things in life, and afforded me so many incredible experiences. And to see it, and technology in general where they are today is kinda soul crushing.

@sergeyager.bsky.social thank you for sharing enthusiastically about coffee. I finally had the opportunity to try Japanese siphon brewed coffee this morning and it was a delightful start to the day!

Get some St. Croix February sunrise.

Picture of a sunrise over a rocky beach and across the St. Croix river. The river is frozen and a few ice fishermen and their ice houses are visible in the distance. The sky is overcast with blue-gray clouds with just a sliver of the sunrise visible, creating an intense ribbon of yellows, reds, and pinks.

Okay here is a little Decemberween tradition for myself that I adopted from my mother and grandmother. 'Syv slag kaker' - seven types of cookies for the holiday season. Every year I take some time off and bake quadruple batches of seven different types of cookies to share with friends and family.
