1974’s “The Wiz,” which is touring through May, “concerns itself with themes of subjugation at the hands of an inhumanly evil force and separation of families, but also with themes of solidarity, friendship, and liberation.” #TwinCitiesGeeks twincitiesgeek.com/2026/02/the-...
“The Wiz” Is Still a Delight After More Than 50 Years
Despite these heavy themes, it is as energetic as it is entertaining, a fun-filled musical theater journey for the whole family.

Not all helicopter activity is bad!
Following up because I found out: it’s Three Rivers Parks doing an aerial deer survey!

I wrote about how getting my first tattoo was unexpectedly helpful in dealing with the ICE occupation and how Minnesota tattoo shops are acting as sites of self-care, mutual aid, and ways to just say “Fuck ICE.”

Hi there! Because of the enormous influx of new people over the past month, we've been having to pause the group occasionally so our moderators can catch up and have a moment to breathe. The search function should still work *within* the group during pauses, but that might not be what you mean.
