aurora jacobsen @superturbo.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Cross country meets are fun, because you can immediately figure out which schools have good football programs. (Girls from the school dominate as a first place team. Boys are trying really hard to not be a last place team.) 000
aurora jacobsen @superturbo.bsky.social · 22/09/2026Something poetic about Carleton getting Lynx the #1 seed. 000
aurora jacobsen @superturbo.bsky.social · 22/09/2026So... the interview about the new Luther Seminary sale makes it look like there's nothing to worry about. But the buyer has been trying to get data centers established all over the metro after he got caught misappropriating funds. elkriverdatacenter.com/research-ana... 010
aurora jacobsen @superturbo.bsky.social · 21/09/2026We have some tickets to the Lynx next year, so I may already be watching vids to prepare my Axl Rose cosplay. (Maybe the redhead I need the work to emulate.) 001
aurora jacobsen @superturbo.bsky.social · 21/09/2026I'm reasonably sure that my life has peaked as of today, the opening of Deviant Crop Art. 270
aurora jacobsen @superturbo.bsky.social · 20/09/2026Glad to see the Lynx look like the Lynx in this game so far. It was pretty clear versus the Liberty that they spent the FIBA break on defense and they just needed to dust the offensive cobwebs off their shooting 120
aurora jacobsen @superturbo.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I'm finding humor in aging when I do the same things I teased my parents about when I was a teen. Today: where are the two pairs of glasses I like? My mom eventually found one of the pairs she lost when I was 16 in her flower beds. At least I haven't been using a trowel recently? 000
aurora jacobsen @superturbo.bsky.social · 16/09/2026I really hope this was one of the Winona cameras. 030
aurora jacobsen @superturbo.bsky.social · 15/09/2026"Sorry I was late, I was hanging Crop Art nudes" was not an excuse I was prepared to use today. I just went with an "appointment" excuse. 260
aurora jacobsen @superturbo.bsky.social · 08/09/2026I also think this gets to the fundamental question about who the fair is for. The fair started with farm kids. I don't want a fair without them. How do we balance marketing outside of Minnesota with marketing in Minnesota. 020

aurora jacobsen @superturbo.bsky.social · 07/09/2026It's probably partially a backlash to how much attention has been getting, and the length of the lines, but I've seen more people try to specify that most crop art "isn't really art" this year. And... Do these people go to museums? 100

aurora jacobsen @superturbo.bsky.social · 31/08/2026My sister accidentally texted about meeting near "The Circle of Birth" center at the State Fair, and from now on that's all I'm going to call it. I really dislike how much we've changed the wording of bringing new life from "labor" to miracle. 130

aurora jacobsen @superturbo.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Sometimes it helps to have friends who are daily fair goers. Especially when they can snap a pic of the crop art you were too busy finishing to photograph 130
aurora jacobsen @superturbo.bsky.social · 28/08/2026Time between meeting Peggy Flanagan and talking about crop art.... .5 seconds. I would apologize, but I know I'd do it again. 150
aurora jacobsen @superturbo.bsky.social · 24/08/2026Nope. Nope. Do not mess with Cloud. She joined the Liberty in a year when all Lynx fans hated the Liberty, and we STILL all had love for her. 010
aurora jacobsen @superturbo.bsky.social · 23/08/2026Me, 7PM last night: this is the best part of the year, crop art has been dropped off crop art and I'm done worrying about the process for months. Me, 9:30 PM last night: Without quinoa, amaranth is now one of the only naturally red seeds, so this year I may learn how to use plants for natural dye 190

aurora jacobsen @superturbo.bsky.social · 07/07/2026I love Tyler Adams. I loved watching him play with McKennie at Leeds. I was so ready for this to be a historic year. I could not watch tonight, because I couldn't watch them lose, even if that was best for the World Cup. 000
aurora jacobsen @superturbo.bsky.social · 06/07/2026In the run up to the 2020 election, I had coffee with a mentor who told me that we weren't ready for universal healthcare because people liked their doctors. I had to explain changing doctors 3 times in the previous 5 years based on insurance decisions. These talking points don't last forever. 000
aurora jacobsen @superturbo.bsky.social · 01/07/2026As someone in higher ed, this is not it. Your girls could get funding without all of the lost weekends and sports fees if you just spent as much on education as you do trying to tear it down. 000

aurora jacobsen @superturbo.bsky.social · 08/05/2026The motivation to participate in the 100 mile garage sale was the bins of clothing my oldest left behind when she moved to college.
