Mostly organic material and a series of vibrations registering as sound.
Abides in the liminal space between the Twin Cities of Saint Paul and Minneapolis, where nothing is quite real and anything is possible.
Drums, mandolin. Rarely at the same time.

The universe winds down. That's how it's made.
But memory is everything to lose;
Although some of the colors have to fade,
Do not believe you'll get the chance to choose.
Regret, by definition, comes too late;
Say what you mean. Bear witness. Iterate.
~ John M. Ford

So now ICE is endangering expecting Moms. So, so evil.
Expecting moms are skipping prenatal care and considering unsafe home births because they're terrified of ICE.

You don’t know your role yet maybe, but we are all finding out just what we have to offer.
In Minneapolis, one man knew immediately what he could offer and said “Bring me your clothing”.

A toss up really. The 5-year-old abducted by ICE or….. Brooklyn Beckham. Both were vital news stories this week.
For a few hours this week, it felt like the world and all its horrors stopped with one subject taking over the internet: Brooklyn Peltz Beckham. https://cnn.it/4qKHJa7

A reminder that @bradtabke.bsky.social won his seat by 14 votes and it took Melissa Hortman 6 weeks of a DFL boycott to get him seated in the Minnesota House. He's been leading efforts in Shopee since ICE targeted his community. F'ing hero, putting it all on the line.
New action just dropped: local developer Opus wants to profit off mass detention and mass misery in Shakopee. See below, from @bradtabke.bsky.social (original skeet deleted due to need for follow-up from me)

A number of people from out-of-state have been opening tabs at small businesses—coffee shops where people on patrol can grab a drink and warm up, bars where people can be in community, etc. It’s been a deeply appreciated form of solidarity and helps the businesses closing tomorrow.
how (if at all) can we support the minnesota general strike on friday from afar?

Great thread about Pizza Luce’s taking out the trash over on their FB post about closing for the general strike.
I’m going to see if I can leave an extra tip for their social media person next time.

Haters hating on the Pizza Luce Facebook post about them closing and fights are breaking out and sometimes I enjoy looking at that kind of mess (especially when whoever does socials for the company does a good job though lots of people are doing the work for them).

Smith: Again, and I think all of us, if we're reasonable, know that there's going to be more crimes committed by these people in the future. I do not understand why you would mass pardon people who assaulted police officers. I don't get it. I never will.

Tonight we hosted the high school Nordic ski team for a spaghetti dinner. All 30-40 of them somehow packed themselves into our ~12x12’ living room, talking/laughing/hula-hooping/singing/dancing/wrestling. 🥰 I love that these St Paul kids got a little dose of normalcy tonight.
