Just had a convincing @dewayneforminneapolis.com volunteer drop by. Shared he was at the Whipple rally yesterday. What a joy that there are 3 such excellent candidates for Minneapolis mayor.

I’m struggling with how to rank David, Fateh, and Hampton. But I absolutely will rank all 3.

An old fashioned no glaze donut from Baker’s Wife and a cup of coffee is how I reward myself for surviving another week of twin toddlers.

After so much hope and relief and returning home to prepare for the birth of their child, Heba just sent us this.

“Israel is attacking us with full force.😢😢😢😢😢💔”

They are in Gaza City. The ceasefire, which never fully took effect, is gone. Please don’t stop talking about this.

I would really love to see strong statements and concrete plans of action for how @governorwalz.mn.gov @klobuchar.senate.gov @smith.senate.gov are planning to protect our communities from 🧊.

People are being kidnapped.
It’s horrifying and unacceptable.

Tonight a resident posted a picture of racist and Islamaphobic language written on Johnson street that called for @omarfatehmn.com to be deported and wished death upon the Somali community. @doronclark.bsky.social and I showed up right away to get this racist garbage off of our streets

It's always the people taking consistent action who feel they aren't doing "enough." Let that shit go. You are doing more than 85% of others.

I am personally at more than capacity. What we need is for others to do their part(s) too.

Next part of the layout for the www.grannysquarecrochet.com project. Trying to keep things balanced with local strategies: put similar colors a knight’s move apart rather than same row/column, keep similar patterns away from each other, try to bring down bright colors using neighboring colors
