I’m sorry it’s bad right now. I’m fond of the little malt cups like the ones as baseball games.

It’s twin cities marathon weekend! I’ll be on the north side of Summit and Prior, along with a 12’ skeleton. Mile 6 or 22, depending on the race. If you’re running and want refreshments, let me know and I got you covered. Bananas, drinks, candy, bacon, sliders, cookies… say the word.

Tonight, Hennepin Avenue and Lagoon in Uptown Minneapolis. This month is 1 full year since all of Hennepin was re-opened after the lengthy road construction.

Just had a long conversation with my young in home aide. They are a fabulous artist and I’m learning so much from them. Today we talked about how central art is to any subversive or resistance culture.

#31DaysofGraves Urn This gives off very “Ode on a Grecian Urn” vibes, less the actual ode. Oak Hill Cemetery, Excelsior, Minnesota
An oversized metal urn, with tall handles, and a silver plate with the name “Stewart” in a green, grassy cemetery.

Having complex multiple health conditions SUCKS SO HARD. Hope that if I has to come out that it, at least, helps some symptoms.

Sadly, I have to remind people the Hegseth and other Regime leaders, like Tom Emmer, are from Minnesota.

Arguably the civil war was as much about northern states not wanting to be legally required to enforce the slavery laws of southern states as it was about the south wanting to continue enslaving people. Just mentioning that for no particular reason.

I have a large blank wall facing my bed. Right now I just quickly nailed foam board as a place to post my sketching projects. It might be time for me to stop worrying about how to prevent small amounts of damage to paint/drywall. U

Do you have any idea what it means to now have two new doctors, both of whom talk to me about all the gaslighting I’ve received from the medical establishment? Anyone? Because, I can’t describe the impact.

I don’t know what burdens you’re carrying, we all have some visible to others and more that are invisible. I hope yours can be lightened and/or shared.

HiveMind™️ Request: have any of you lovely people covered a wall with cork board? I know there are tiles out there, but I’m considering a large wall. Also, did you have to remove the cork at some point and how did that go?
