When I meet new people, I try to work “My voice is my passport” somewhere into the conversation to see if they know it, and when they do we become best friends.

Being extra patient with myself this week. My heart, mind, and hands are not going to match the speed of unfolding catastrophes. So, I am moving deliberately where I can, when I can, and doing my best.

I did a sleep study. I decided to do it because I often have super stressful dreams where I am running or swimming or trying desperately to find something and I just can’t get out of the situation I’m in and then I wake up with my heart racing and a headache. Sure enough, I have sleep apnea.

Our kiddo was trying to say the word “versions” the other day, but it came out as “virgins”. She was pointing at a group of cartoon characters and saying how they were all different virgins, and I was like, “Yup, that’s probably right.”

Also true: There's no sales tax on clothing in MN, and therefore no sales tax on yarn because under the statute, yarn is classified as future clothing.
Fact: In Minnesota you do not pay sales tax on Twix because they are considered a cookie, not candy

Since people were asking about the words I shared today at the no kings protest, here's the full text. Thanks @indivistwincities.bsky.social and @mn50501.bsky.social.

Speaker Hortman was a bold and brave leader who made hard decisions and fought for the people of Minnesota every single day.
She and her husband Mark did not deserve to die. My heart goes out to their children.
