Huron Consulting has begun its work at the U of MN and today, my bosses are shocked to discover that this is about cuts, not efficiency. It’s a hollow “I told you so” for me.
If I’m so smart, well, would anyone like to hire me? Come ~Feb/March, my job will be either gone or unlivable.

Thank you to the City of Saint Paul for hosting a food drive for community members affected by the government shut down. There will be four sites across the city. Donations of shelf-stable food and hygiene products are welcome. www.twincities.com/2025/11/04/s...
St. Paul started a food drive for SNAP recipients. Here’s how to donate.
There are four sites to drop off food. City officials ask that donors drop off items during normal hours. And, all items must be new, unopened shelf-stable food and hygiene products.

The first time I saw a doodoo baggie on the walking path I thought, “were they lost? Are they coming back for it once they find a trash can?” I was that naive.
Now I’m the someone who carries the baggie to the trash can.
Sometimes this feels metaphorical.

I like the people who pickup after their pets and leave the little bag for someone else to carry.

Seen on my little walk through the Kingfield neighborhood: signs for Davis, Hampton and Soren, and a Frey sign propped up in a trash can. Haha

My pastor tried to have a memorial sermon on Charlie Kirk.
Promptly got yelled at by every member of the congregation that showed to the meeting.

This morning I was reminded of what's at stake for all of us in this election. It doesn't have to be like this. With principled, compassionate leadership, we can do so much better.
We deserve a city government that works for all of us—where decisions are made based on what’s right for the people of our city, not based on who is most loyal to the mayor.
We deserve better.

Through the Mapping Prejudice project, I learned of this new opportunity: Save Our Signs, archiving photos of interpretive signs at National Parks before they're removed. Anyone can get involved. It's sobering to see what history lessons have already been taken down, but we have to do what we can.

If the impending freeze of SNAP benefits is what has you particularly animated, these questions might help. You can really substitute any issue and ask the same questions of yourself.
4 grounding questions [if useful at this moment]:
1. What resources exist so I can better educate myself [about x issue]?
2. Who's already doing work around this injustice?
3. Do I have the capacity to offer concrete support & help to them?
4. How can I be constructive?
