This person is cyberbullying trans people.
The reason I cropped her profile like this is that her pinned post was so vicious that it could be triggering.

Please block & report!

A friend and I took my kid to Mill Ruins Park. I hadn't been there in years, it is even cooler and gloomier than I remembered.

I have a book reading at 7 pm on Wednesday of next week (July 30) for my biography of Kid Cann.

It's at Magers & Quinn.

Registration required, but it is free.
There will be chocolate, and it is free, too!

Some of the fancy rich people food is just gross, but also the photos with the survey are unappealing. Do I like roasted meat dishes? Sometimes. Would I ever, in a million years, eat roasted meat dishes that looked like the ones in these photos? Hell, no.

At the CC Club this Saturday, May 3, from 12pm-3pm, there will be a live recording of Volsteadland, a podcast about Kid Cann.

Guests on this episode are Paul Maccabee, the Ultimate Kid Cann historian; Michael Greenberg, the director of The Combination (a film about Kid Cann); and me!

I just found a photo of the first single-race white person born in Minneapolis, and it was taken recently enough that it has not yet entered public domain.

My husband: Are the cups on the shopping list for the event tonight?
Me: Yes.
My husband: Shucks, we'll have to make another trip to get them.
Me: No need. If my guests want to swig wine straight from the bottle, who am I to stop them? It's been that kind of week.

(We will have cups.)

Not an April Fool's joke, I really do have a book release this month, for MINNESOTA'S MOST NOTORIOUS MOBSTER: THE MAKING AND BREAKING OF KID CANN.

This was a fascinating project and I am excited to share it.

Join me at Eat My Words Bookstore on Thursday, April 17 at 7pm!

There will be chocolate.

Well, THIS is exciting! One of my favorite true crime podcasts, Volsteadland, is doing a live recording at the CC Club on May 3rd at 12:30pm--and I'm one of the guests, along with Michael Greenberg, director of The Combination movie.

I didn't believe it would happen until I saw the announcement. 😅

What are people currently reading? #Booksky💙📚👀

Just started the Black Tower by P.D. James. This is a re-read for me. I read it before as part of a library reading challenge in college (a book with a color in the title).
