Today I visited the Marjorie McNeely Conservatory and saw blooming lady slippers, which is our state flower and also a type of orchid (TIL). First time I've ever seen one! They do look like slippers!

This is my favorite kind of cactus. They're so cool looking and they have no thorns! I want to buy one in a pot.

Great stuff
It’s down at the most democratic level of our system where the resistance is strongest and growing — juries that refuse to indict or convict amid Trump’s bogus crime crackdown, voters who are showing they’ve had enough. He slashes at the civic orthodoxies and values we were all raised on. This remains his opposition’s greatest advantage. It simply needs to be exploited. Adam Smith says there’s a lot of ruin in a nation. There’s a lot of ruin in a democracy. We’re in a very bad situation. To me, all I care about is what to do in response. These are a few of the many things. If history is long, we are not long. We will all die. The question, as always, is how do we conduct ourselves in the days we have?

I don't know who did this,but I think it might have been Jean-Luc Brunel. This drawing could be referring to anything, but I saw it on the heels of reading the Katie Johnson testimony, and how she begged them to stop...
From the Epstein bday book, a crude drawing of two stick figure men, one saying "Too fast, too much, please stop!" and the other saying "No! I will not stop the chronometer! Keep going! Hahahaha!" There's a palm tree and what looks like a beach drawn in the background

I just saw Cabaret at the Guthrie, and it was a stunning production. And I say this as a person who saw the production with Alan Cumming and Emma Stone in NYC. A gorgeous and moving show - and a woman as the emcee! See it if you can - it's there until August 24.

Sad to see Bar Lurcat close. I remember the heady days of the Loring Cafe, immortalized in these amazing artistic prints by @stevenrydberg.bsky.social. I also interned at the Utne Reader magazine, which had offices upstairs in the same gorgeous building. Way, way back when we were all young. 🥲
Two framed art prints on a wall, one of a long, tall flower vase on a table with a single flower which says "Loring Cafe/Bar"; one with a cherub/angel woman titled "Diana the Huntress" and has the words "Loring Cafe - Bar and Playhouse - 8th Anniversary - Fall 1994"
