To walk in an American city is to bear the collective sins of an entire culture, to be seen, simultaneously, as both pariah and saint.

This rag rug had some catastrophic failures in the weft last time it was in the washing machine. I think it was too loosely woven, so the warp threads shifted to be next to each other. Fixing it with blanket stitches.

@metrotransitmn.bsky.social, this crossing to the Green Line is dealing with a serious bit of a drainage problem.

Mpls friends! Be on the lookout for these bikes. They were stolen last night. My friend relies on them for year-round bike commuting and between election results and this, I've never heard them sounding so disheartened.
Please lmk if you see them and I'll pass it along!

Rest of my photos. I recommend doing your own walks down Marq/2nd/3rd and noting how many places are open for you to go into whatever day/time of day you go. Pay special attention to evenings, weekends. Think about what you'd need to feel comfortable waiting for a bus here.

We stopped here on 2nd for a bit peering into the lit grates. Not a single person walked near or past us here for over five minutes (probably closer to 10) just after 5:30pm.

How are you all contacting trader joe's about their anti-union/union-busting political activism grossness? Their website "contact us" section makes it pretty clear they'd prefer not to hear what their customers think. A

But I'm learning and learning and learning about the ice, how it forms different shapes and why, when and how those disappear, the pulse of life below and in and on and above the ice. I curse every PPM of CO2 that threatens the existence all that breathes and moves here, muskrat, ice, human, bird.

I love the conversations I have on the lakes too, the others who're drawn to the beauty in the lake, who cede whatever of art and beauty they have attempted in the face of this awesome expertise. And I love returning from those moments to my silent commune with the ice.A

How about this lake ice, then, friends? I never did figure out exactly where the blue is coming from in the image--my best guess is the water filling the crack, but I haven't seen it this vivid before.

I wish I could attach the sounds of the lake and its ice as the alt text, that’s the truest representation.

Absolutely overwhelmed by the endless beauty of lake ice. Just wordless, literally don't even know how to describe it for alt text, what do I do

We’ve probably got today/tomorrow left with this winter’s glorious lake ice world before precipitation + more unseasonable warmth closes the curtain. Get out there if you can!!!

The roller towel of my uncle’s I just mended. Need some old dowels (retired broom handles?) for the second step of this project, but happy with how it’s going. Got to later my mends with previous much less visible ones!

This is my previously chronically underwatered plant, who knew the leaves wanted to be upright and not droopy!

Trying carving and printing the avocado pits from the dye I just made. Not my best idea, not the worst. Doubt they’ll stay flat enough to print with as they desiccate again.

Overdyed this cornflower blue wool shirt (it was too warm a blue) with onion skins and I’m really happy with how it’s turned out so far!

How was this book on ice in the free bin at Old School?!?! OMG, I’m only a few pages into reading it aloud to my flame and it’s so so exciting!

This was our first hazelnut foraging haul. Turns out finding and plucking hazelnuts activates a part of my brain not dissimilar from the agate-hunting one.
