I've already voted, but if you haven't, please do. Voting early can spare you a wait on election day, and it will give us election judges a break. I expect to be busy on Nov. 3.

When Grammy-winning musician Rhiannon Giddens begins playing “Old Corn Liquor,” a traditional Black American folk tune, acclaimed Chinese pipa virtuoso Wu Man recognizes similarities to Chinese pentatonic music and spontaneously joins in. The joy on their faces says it all.

Confiscating the passport of the elected representative of the opposition territory in a raid with a flimsy pretext to attempt to strip them of citizenship is something we have words for when it happens in other countries

Clive says he is just as big as the coo
Clive, a cream and tan doodle dog, standing in profile far enough away that he looks the same size as the metal highland coo statue. There is sidewalk, green lawn, and red, yellow, and green trees beyond

I thought the coo was sparkling as I walked by but it’s just the brightness from the sky peeking through the holes in said coo
Side view of a brown metal statue of a highland coo with head raised on Macalester campus. It is about 12 ft long and 6 to 8 ft high. It looks like it has tiny white dots but it’s just light shining through

This is not a ban. Not sure where you got the idea this was a book ban…
He declined an interview but argued by email that the 80 books were not banned; just removed from the shelves, pending review this fall. The American Library Association defines a book ban as the removal of a book from the shelves in response to a complaint from a person or a group.

One small Minnesota school banned more books from its library than every other public school in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Iowa and North and South Dakota — combined.
startribune.com
All 80 books banned in Minnesota last year came from one school
Parents objected, a new library assistant was fired and books that included ‘Charlotte’s Web’ and a kids’ cookbook were gone from a public school near Lake Vermilion.

I’m ok. Make no mistake: this is an attempt to target political enemies and weaponize federal law enforcement. For ten years, Trump has targeted me with baseless lies and smear campaigns. This is just the latest escalation in his campaign of political intimidation. I will not be silenced.

most of the headlines about this are complicit with the fascists in power, but let’s be clear: they raided her house because of who she is, not because she’s done anything to justify this treatment. the president shouldn’t be able to weaponize the government against his political enemies.

It’s a good coo
Side view of the large brown metal highland cow statue in the middle of campus Clive and Felix, a cream and a dark beiwn doodle dog, respectively, approach the cow from afar on the sidewalk next to green space on campus Dogs closer to the cow Dogs pretty close to the cow but neither Dog would pose in comparison for size. You can still see that the statue is much much bigger than the dogs.

Excited to see Beck again with @stpauligrrrl.bsky.social after his long break from Minneapolis shows. Fully expecting to feel like this again.
Screenshot of an old post and photo. In print at the top it says "This is how we feel about Beck," and the photo shows two women, one completely perpendicular to the frame and the other on a slant, with a strange play of angled light and shadow on their faces that makes the photo look very blurry and pixelated.

Ever since Felix made a golden retriever friend while peeking into in this yard months ago, he’s jumped up to see if he’s outside. Usually no one is there, but today there was a doodle who didn’t even care enough to come over and say hi. Felix is so sad
