Weird how I never got a reply to this... Must be tied up personally responding to everyone else 👀

Last pepper haul for the season. Had hoped to get some more color out of this batch, but will take what we can get. Just happy to have one more round of shishito pepper + red potato hash for the year. Until next summer, lil shishitos. 🫡

Massive green tomato haul today. Sadly just wasn’t time for all these puppies to ripen (weird summer for tomatoes, this was). But not really sad at all, because all of these will become a delicious, cozy canned green tomato curry to enjoy all winter long 😍🍛

According to Sahan Journal’s mayoral quiz, none of the opposing candidates support that specific property tax increase. Of course it’s pretty easy to oppose as a challenger, but many of the candidates (Fateh + Davis for sure) have strong alternate revenue (non-property tax hike) plans.

In response to this breakdown of the Ward 9 race, candidate Dan Orban whines about Naomi's characterization of his shortcomings + previous defeat, all of the scary things he's witnessed/endured in MPLS, and his radical opponent — all while failing to spell his own name correctly in the byline. Woof.

Also forgot to mention, my printer went off the rails mid-way through printing these. 😅 SO, if you’d prefer a CYBERPUNK/Miami Sunset version of these badges, lmk! I‘ve got just the two shown here, so first come first served! So cool, so edgy!!

Oh, also — tried growing corn for the first time this year. Over the last few days, the squirrels have discovered the corn. And then ravaged it. 🫠 but I was still able to salvage some, and y’all. Look at this one: 😍😍😍

[Reposting with alt text] New measles cases in MN. Side note: we never go to MOA any more... Happened to be at MOA that exact same day lololol 🫠)

Memo from Minnesota Department of Health:

Health officials confirm new measles cases in Twin Cities metro area
New cases highlight urgent need for continued vaccination and awareness around measles
Two new cases of measles were recently confirmed by the Minnesota Department of Health (MDH). The cases are unrelated and are Minnesota's third and fourth confirmed measles cases in 2025.
The first case is a Washington County adult whose vaccination status is unverified. The individual was exposed during domestic air travel outside of Minnesota. The second case is an unvaccinated child from Dakota County who has not traveled outside of Minnesota in the last month and had no known exposures. Both individuals are recovering at home.
"Anytime we confirm a case of measles unrelated to travel that has no known source it is worrying," said Jessica Hancock-Allen, infectious disease division director at MDH. "This is because it could be a sign that measles is spreading in the community undetected by public health and healthcare systems. It is uncertain where the child was exposed and whether others may have been exposed."
According to disease investigators, the child was infectious while at the theme park inside Mall of America (MOA) on May 24. Persons who were at the mall on May 24 between 5 p.m. and 9 p.m. may have been exposed and should be aware of any symptoms that develop between May 31 and June 14. Unvaccinated persons, or persons who have not had measles, are most at risk and should watch for symptoms of measles.
MDH is working with local health departments and other Twin Cities locations to contact those who were exposed to either case. Initial symptoms of measles include a fever, cough, runny nose and watery eyes followed by a rash that typically spreads from the head to the rest of the body…

There are dark times ahead, friends. Heinous deeds surround us, inescapable and omnipresent. Remember to recharge yourself, so that anger turns to energy, not to apathy. And don’t deny yourself joy, even if it feels wrong in greater context. As such, here are 15 blissful seconds of kitten. Be well.

Grateful this week for the abundance that our garden continues to provide, even despite wild and increasingly unpredictable weather. This week, honoring that gratitude by sharing out some tasty herb bundles for people’s holiday meals. MPLS peeps, DM me for location if u wanna swing by and get one 🙏
