(A) stop feeling pressure to be perfect;
(B) normalize asking questions, because that is normalizing learning;
(C) do not ask AI if your turkey is done; ask a meat thermometer
This is so soulless, I can't stand it. We have BRAINS. We can USE THEM.

Hey @mayorcarter.bsky.social are you in control of the St. Paul police or are you no longer in control of them as they are claiming on the ground as they assault residents?

This is a huge escalation by SPPD and extremely unfortunate to see after they stood down last time

Hearing that ICE is in the funeral home’s vicinity. Maryland & Rose maybe? If you have info, do share.

Finishing up a post op appointment atm.

Finding out my uncle aka boss/colleague for many years at the funeral home is down to his last living days of life right before this grief garland event might be the best/worst timing.

Woof.

I'm up sitting with my intentions for the "Grief Garland Making: Conversations & Crafting" gathering at the funeral home tomorrow. The night before has me feeling like a grief imposter, but I am acknowledging that I'm not the expert - but a grieving person in search of communal grief & life support.

If you're buying gifts for the holidays, maybe consider supporting artists, writers, creators. Gift someone a Patreon, commission an art piece, buy a book, purchase handmade jewelry, etc. Your support means everything.

Sent an obit to the newspaper yesterday at 1pm for a Sunday run. Awaiting a proof back two hours before deadline and I am STRESSED. It still needs to get to the family before the 2pm deadline for their eyes/heart to green light it. Arranging flowers for tomorrow between obsessively refreshing email.

Glad to see such a large opening night crowd for women’s hockey in St. Paul.

Also glad to see my state’s team, which sees fit to employ a transphobic goon, lose.

The Somali communities in Minnesota are warm, vibrant, and brilliant. Minnesota is lucky to have them and we will stand alongside our neighbors and friends in the communities all of us call home.

BREAKING:

Sen. Elissa Slotkin says police responded to her home tonight in response to a bomb threat. Slotkin wasn't at home at the time.

This is two days after Trump said Slotkin and other Democrats committed "seditious conspiracy, punishable by death."

it's good to join together to go "lmaooooo" sometimes actually
moments of positive morale and communal enjoyment are worth it for their own sake

Makes sense. She usually has plans on January 6th.
BREAKING: Marjorie Taylor Greene says she's resigning from Congress — effective January 5, 2026.

Wolves game dialed up. Fireside sitting. Joint rolled.

Check in: How does this find you doing this evening?

Bit of a wild ride today, but made it through. A dear friend staying with us this weekend, & another joins tomorrow evening. Laughter & chosen family love in great abundance. Intentions of taking my grounding time to prep for being the best host / space holder at Sunday's Grief Garland Making event.

Put myself out there & it’s looking like a full turn out Sunday! I feel confident the connections will be magical & supportive that I’m releasing anxiety as I pull the final intentions together. The funeral home is all set up for the gathering, & that’s nice to have ready to roll!

Let’s do this!

Checked in on the event & three folk have signed up! Always light anxiety that no one will show up to your lovingly curated gathering. It's vulnerable to put yourself out there in the world, especially related to grief & death with gatherings hosted in a funeral home.

Interested in joining us? Rad.

I’m here tonight for bingo and we just did a shot in Charlie’s memory.
Learned last week that one of the bar’s regulars passed way. Every time he saw me, Charlie (not our employee Charlie) wanted to tell me how much he loved the bar. He would interrupt conversations to make sure the person i was talking to knew i had saved the bar. A complete sweetheart.
