It’s great (even though it makes our gardening a challenge!). Just about every spring we have a fawn born in the yard and on my run yesterday morning I went by a group of 7, which included 5 bucks! That was first. Usually don’t see more than 2 at a time.

Less than a mile from Rice/Larpenteur too.

They would never leave! They’re already here an awful lot.

Certainly possible (what isn’t a little salty outside right now?) but feels like there must be saltier options.

A deer outside a glass door licking said door. Her tongue is flat against the glass and she looks like a big ol’ dummy.

Another time the deer licked the glass door with two more standing behind her wondering what the heck she’s doing.

Apparently our door is delicious. What a doofus.

A blue beta fish swims in a jar of water with blue pebbles at the bottom.

Property management staff go the extra mile for residents!

A new resident will hopefully be moving in on Monday, but they don't trust the safety of their beta fish at their current location. So he'll be spending the weekend with Alliance staff.

It's nice to have a new (temporary) mascot.

Hey NBC News! Why aren’t you breaking into Olympics coverage to talk about the hundreds of people being abducted by masked men in my home town?

Get this off my TV.

When it comes to the ridiculousness of the English language is there a word that walks the line between lunatic spelling and accuracy of meaning better than phlegm?

No word should be spelled that stupidly and yet the thing it describes should absolutely be spelled like that.

4 piece rock band Trophy Wife perform in the 7th Street Entry in Minneapolis.

This band is Trophy Wife and they just opened the show I’m at tonight. They also became the 1,000th different artist I’ve seen live.

Ticket acquired for Sugar at First Ave in September. This show is going to absolutely rule.

It suddenly got all dusty in here.

Last Friday our office was closed in support of the Day of Truth & Freedom general strike. Staff marched with 50,000 other Minnesotans in downtown Minneapolis. It was a day of inspiration and renewal.

Then came Saturday morning.

Slut Intent perform at the Pilllar Forum in Minneapolis.

Slut Intent perform at the Pilllar Forum in Minneapolis.

Even in an occupation self care is important. Mine is live music and Slut Intent rule. Super heavy live sound, front person dominates the stage, and they’ve got some real flair (especially the guitar player on the far side). Crowd was going apeshit the whole time.

Hardcore at its best.

I certainly am! But not for this. This just needed to be done.

Minnesota is the best of us.

A large group of protesters against ICE on Hennepin Avenue in Minneapolis.

What a day. Fuck ICE.

Who’s streets? Our streets!

Now to warm up my feet.

A large group of people saying Fuck Ice on Hennepin Avenue in Minneapolis.

Here’s mine from the other direction!

Yeeeep.

People keep saying this but it’s wrong. It only took 1 Dem to vote yes for it to pass at 214-213.

I get where you were coming from and let’s just say I wouldn’t put it past House Dems to have done what you were thinking!

To simplify, let’s pretend those 7 didn’t vote at all. It’s 213-208. If all 7 them vote no it’s 213-215. One yes makes it 214-213.

No. If you move 6 yes votes to no it’s still 214-213. 219-208 is 6 yes votes from Dems.

They only needed 1. That would have made it 214-213.

No one is illegal on stolen land.

It's so fucking convenient that they get to "fear for their lives" anytime they want to absolve themselves of anything and when we actually fear for our lives because of them and do anything a scared person would do it's justification for our death.

Deer in the snow and also covered in snow.

Snowy deer.
