I cannot impress enough on people who are outside of this state:
They are inflicting daily physical harm and emotional terror on Minnesotans.
They want nothing more than to watch our Twin Cities burn on national television.
But we keep showing up with care, compassion, & defiant determination.

the horror of this is compounded by the fact that the whipple building sits on the same military fort where 1600+ Dakota, mostly women and children were held in a concentration camp in 1863, where over 300 died

Tomorrow, there will be oral arguments in a major SCOTUS case on transgender sports.
At least, that's how it's being reported everywhere.
But it's not just about sports. The ruling could change transgender rights for a generation, and impacts EVERYTHING.

Tomorrow's SCOTUS Case Is Not Just About Transgender Sports; Ruling Could Impact All Trans Rights

Folks on the ground are asking me to lift this up because the need is still growing, all around Minnesota.

Friends, thank you for stepping up! Over $40,000 worth of dash cams have been ordered so far for ICE observers in the Twin Cities!
Early orders are trickling in, but we’re getting them packed and deployed ASAFP - several were installed yesterday, these are ready, and 300+ are on the way!

When Harry Met Sally and The Princess Bride are among my very favorite movies. Rob Reiner made some great art that will bring joy to many for years to come.

Creating puzzles and non-combat encounters for theatre of the mind play session-to-session is an interesting challenge. Not having a visual 3D space is limiting in terms of the types of hooks your can provide, but players can also interact with your encounter in ways you can't possibly account for

What's everyone's favorite #DnD monster that has nothing to do with the creature it's named after? Mine's the gorgon. Why have a scary snake-haired lady when you can have some bull?
