I don't know this doesn't impact the BWCA / Voyager's outfitters, employers in Cook County, or any of the other National Park employers too.

the entire U.S. tourism industry dependent on international travelers is in for a very shitty summer

I was on maternity leave with my youngest- had 16 weeks instead 6 and 10 with my oldest and middle.

I really think that if I hadn't had that extra month to get our feet under us, I wouldn't have gone back. What a scary, scary time.

Five years since the start of the pandemic (or at least the start of everyone realizing it was gonna be bad).

I've been getting into block printing and this little "Hi" card is the first one I've made with lettering!

It also just makes me happy. 😊

Friendly reminder: there’s plenty of time left to claim up to $1,750 per child with our nation-leading Child Tax Credit.
 
Last year, we put over $550 million into the pockets of nearly 225,000 families.
 
Don’t leave money on the table, Minnesota.

I've said it before and I'll say it again. My biggest piece of parenting advice is that you should do everything in your power to be related to a pediatrician. ❤️ @pedsdoc1.bsky.social

The Summer Day. Who made the world? Who made the swan, and the black bear? Who made the grasshopper? This grasshopper, I mean — the one who has flung herself out of the grass, the one who is eating sugar out of my hand, who is moving her jaws back and forth instead of up and down — who is gazing around with her enormous and complicated eyes. Now she lifts her pale forearms and thoroughly washes her face. Now she snaps her wings open, and floats away. I don't know exactly what a prayer is. I do know how to pay attention, how to fall down into the grass, how to kneel down in the grass, how to be idle and blessed, how to stroll through the fields, which is what I have been doing all day. Tell me, what else should I have done? Doesn't everything die at last, and too soon? Tell me, what is it you plan to do with your one wild and precious life? -Mary Oliver

If you live in a cold climate, buy a portable air compressor for your tires. There are good ones for less than $50.

Those pistachio lattes at Starbucks right now are *sooo* good. By the time Tuesday night rolls around I'm thinking about a pistachio latte on Saturday. ☕

5:30am yoga this morning. 🌄

"Great Things Have Happened" by Aldan Lowlan
Great Things Have Happened We were talking about the great things that have happened in our lifetimes; and I said, 'Oh, I suppose the moon landing was the greatest thing that has happened in my time.' But, of course, we were all lying. The truth is the moon landing didn't mean one-tenth as much to me as one night in 1963 when we lived in a three-room flat in what once had been the mansion of some Victorian merchant prince (our kitchen had been a clothes closet, I'm sure), on a street where by now nobody lived who could afford to live anywhere else. That night, the three of us, Claudine, Johnnie and me, woke up at half-past four in the morning and ate cinnamon toast together. Is that all? I hear somebody ask. Oh, but we were silly with sleepiness and under our windows the street-cleaners were working with their machines and conversing in Italian, and everything was strange without being threatening, even the tea-kettle whistled differently than in the daytime: it was like the feeling you get sometimes in a country you've never visited before, when the bread doesn't taste quite the same, the butter is a small adventure, and they put paprika on the table instead of pepper, except that there was nobody in this country except the three of us, half-tipsy with the wonder of being alive, and wholly enveloped in love.

Looks like @bsky.app is picking up. Feels like the early day of "the-app-formerly-know-as-Twitter" over here.

@jbohlinger.bsky.social would prefer I not use the phrase "wedding skeet."

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #73,638!

@jbohlinger.bsky.social We won't have the first wedding skeet though.
