My high school did not have a hockey team, so I arbitrarily pick a team every year during the state tournament to root for (that is neither Minnetonka or Edina). The past two years, it has been the Moorhead Spuds. SPUDS, SPUDS, SPUDS!
They've all been coming through my personal cell, but no one calls me on my Teams phone ever either 😅
I can tell the hubs is at lunch, because I keep getting calendar invites to various trail running races 😂
It's been pretty constant for me over the past few weeks 🙄

Awesome rally for Friends of the Boundary Waters at the Minnesota Capitol rotunda this afternoon!
A good day is everything runs smoothly and all QC requirements pass and there's no weird ghost matrix peaks 😂
A GREAT day is when any of my scientists come to me wanting to try something because they finally have the time because the things are running smoothly.
Morning.
Think I might watch The Princess Bride tonight.
I'm pretty sure I'm going to be able to free up almost a terabyte of space on the network drive next week.
I have recently discovered WILD inconsistencies in how my folks store and organize data, and it ends now.
Shout out to my hubs for helping me get my nose ring back in last night. I can't snap it closed when my nails are too long 😂
We still have a very heavy presence in our area. We all of course want to be hopeful, but none of us are letting our guard down here in MSP.
attempting to hobble my way through preparing my tax return and man, I'm glad I have copies from previous years to refer back to even with the changes.
Oh my god, the line to get into A Bar of Their Own this morning was honestly incredible.
Literally less than a mile from my work.
Don’t look away from MN. ICE is still wreaking havoc across the state - changing their tactics to deceive Minnesotans - pretending to be construction workers or folks delivering groceries. Still over 2,000 ICE agents in the state. They’re not going anywhere, your anger and outrage shouldn’t either.
I'm stuck listening to the music I listened to in college and therefore am horrifically unfamiliar with anything current. However, this halftime show just made me want to DANCE.
"The federal cowboys who flooded Minnesota streets actually ran headfirst into the state’s formidable civil society — a network of civically engaged people and organizations that makes this a risky place for the federal government to pick a fight with its own citizens," writes columnist Eric Roper

I cannot believe the volume of non-perishables and personal hygiene products we've been able to gather this week, and our donation drive goes through the end of the week still! 😭❤️ I'm going to have to bring the truck to work next week!
Does this mean Texas gets invaded now? Or is that only after intrepid reporter Nick Shirley gets a scoop?

Ian Austin, an Army veteran, was arrested for protesting ICE in Minneapolis. But he’s continued protesting. Senior reporter @julialurie.bsky.social spoke to him.
“When they say, ‘Why would you be out here?’ How the fuck could I not be out here?” he says. “My nation is under attack."
Maybe start paying attention to the weekly protests outside of your Chaska office, dude! We are NOT in fact happy.
There was one hovering over Lowertown St Paul last week, I stood outside and just watched it for a while. Hella eerie.
I think my eyebrow has been constantly twitching for the last couple of weeks, and I'm starting to get concerned.
I've gotten at LEAST 10 spam phone calls today. What in the actual hell?
In today's episode of hating this timeline, my teacher husband chose his outfit for the themed "comfy day" based on whether or not he'd be able to run. Welcome to our life in the cities right now, I guess.
I was up on the south shore of Leech Lake during these storms! The waves were fun to watch.
No Apparent Danger was a captivating read, and also frustrating because of the luxury of hindsight.
