DHS employees entered our store this afternoon and served us a Notice of Inspection, demanding copies of I9 forms for each employee. In 27 years as shopkeepers, we have never been subjected to this type of investigation.

Does this movement need, or have, a Prince hashtag/phrase/moniker? I saw a post that said “nobody thought The Revolution would start in Minneapolis…Except Prince.” Brilliant. Sometimes it snows in April. Sometimes we melt ICE in January 💜

Why don’t we declare a snow emergency tonight 12/9? Good question. Some thoughts below, but go to www.stpaul.gov/snow for more. 1) “Why don’t we plow?” We brought in extra crews today; they are staying longer; & night crews came in early. We’ve been plowing all day, & will plow all night. 🧵

Watching my 2nd fav Christmas show: where daddies, bears, queens, furries, otters, and twinks save Christmas. Now I know why it made me cry when I was 2 years old and watched it the first time. A former boss nicknamed me "Herbie" for good reason. Mary Christmas to everyone who celebrates! ❄️🎄🐻✨
