My 6 yo is always busy with projects. Currently, she is designing party hats for her dolls. I told her it was really impressive and she said “what? I’m just cutting out triangles, rolling them up, and taping them.” I asked her how she knew to do that and she said “I just saw it in my head.” #tmwyk

Needing blue sky networking help:

I am looking for someone with familiarity in Immigration Law who might be willing to talk with me and help me understand the system a bit. In particular I am in need of advocacy advice for a detained family friend. (South Florida specific would be ideal)

It's Day 19 of the ICE occupation of MSP.

Today thousands of Minnesotans poured onto Lake Street to rally in support of our immigrant neighbors and against ICE.

Take a moment to look at this crowd of you and your neighbors rallying in below zero windchill.

this 1927 story about citrus hybrids is nuts. one, it tells of the birth of the tangelo, which seems incredibly old-world and fussy and for which I am grateful today, and also it casually mentions the passing of the entire lime market, because saloons are outlawed.
