The Hodag just makes me go "Yay!" Look at it. The mythical beast was popularized in Rhinelander, Wisconsin, by Eugene Shepard in a bid to promote Rhinelander, Wisconsin.

Yesterday at Pride, my nephew asked if we could take a photo next to my little section in the U of MN’s Tretter Collection exhibit on Minnesota LGBTQIA history. It was such a sweet moment, and a reminder of the importance of our stories.

Happy Pride! For @racketmn.com, I gathered a group of Minnesotans who are passionate about community care and asked them why LGBTQIA mutual aid matters. Read their responses here: racketmn.com/we-help-us-1...
