It was this month, October, in 1959 when Robert Zimmerman started using the stage name Bob Dillon at the Ten o’clock Scholar in Minneapolis. He’d just arrived from Hibbing for his first year at the University of Minnesota and was trying to make a (new) name for himself at the folk clubs of Dinkytown

my little cousin is trying to gather supplies for her classroom again this year. you guys set her up amazingly well last year so there isn’t a ton she needs but it’s still a lot to ask a young teacher to cover. if you’d like to help out a cool, Native 4th grade teacher in MN, here is her list:

There he is again, our esteemed representative Mills, in the news under investigation. So proud to be a constituent! /s

well, I never expected to be published in a Stanford journal, but the McKnight Foundation asked me write my thesis to the philanthropic world after the MN ICE surge: when there is an emergency, just... give money to people on the ground doing the actual work. as fast as possible. radical, I know.

If you are feeling anti-Amazon today, remember your local book store make more money if you order directly from them than they make from bookshop.org

our flight angels team has helped over a hundred folks get home from ICE detention since january, as well as flying people to safety, whatever that means to them. they are in need of some new volunteers. particularly ones who have experience in squarespace or google sheets. interested? dm me.

The parade started with art cars and then Brass Solidarity Band. Brass Solidarity practices at George Floyd Square, and they had a float (which I tried to take a picture of and failed) that's a miniature GFS. You can see it at the end of this video. bsky.app/profile/baal...

never has minneapolis needed to celebrate the sun coming more than at the end of winter 2026. ICE are not gone completely, but we still won, and it was incredibly cathartic to see this ceremony at mayday about protecting our neighbors, grounding why we did this work. i love this city

This is South Minneapolis. Happy May Day! (Sound 🎼📣 on)

God I love Powderhorn

Happy May Day!

The Southside Battletrain at the May Day Parade

Happy May Day! I fucking love it here

This isn't great photographically, but for bird lovers, it's quite a sight! I took this in Titusville, Florida. In the photo, you can see Great Egrets, a Wood Stork, Roseate Spoonbills, Snowy Egrets, White Ibis, and 2 alligators. #BirdOfTheDay #BestOfTheMonth #birds #nature #photography

the number of places in the twin cities where you can learn how to make things yourself is unparalleled and i really truly love it

#OnThisDay Apr 3 1970: Alan Fingerhut, heir to the catalog company fortune, opens a nightclub at the former Northland Greyhound Bus Terminal called "The Depot." The first Minneapolis venue to serve both alcohol and rock music, it would become "First Avenue" in 1981 and launch Prince's career.

Epic. Surreal. And Awesome. Passing through a huge group of Cownose Rays in a clear boat in Tampa Bay, Florida. This was taken a few days ago. The gathering only lasts for 3 days. #nature #amazing #animals #awesome #wildlife #epic #ocean

#NationalGuitarDay This is my friend Harriet.

Please don't think anything is back to normal in Minnesota. Nothing is normal. I know we’re strong. Don’t know if it’s enough. If you don't live here, your Minnesota friends may tell you that it's going to be okay but I think a lot of that is them being nice so you won't worry. It's bad here.

The Bishop Henry Whipple Federal Building looms in the background of the camp at Coldwater Spring, or Mni Owe Sni, at Fort Snelling along the Mississippi River — where the U.S. government in the mid-1800s killed hundreds of Dakota people and imprisoned more than 1,600 in a concentration camp.

Neighborhood groups and others are coming together in mutual aid to help those who can't leave their homes pay rent. But is it enough? www.minnpost.com/metro/2026/0...

So proud to be represented by this guy.. cringe #FL

a report from Twin Lakes Elementary School in Elk River: "ICE Agents waiting in idling vehicle."

A dolphin hunting fish by a group of manatees on a sandbar in Tampa Bay a couple days ago. This is one of 5 groups of manatees that were hanging out in the shallow waters of Tampa Bay. The groups ranged from about 40-300 manatees. #nature #amazing #animals #wildlife #awesome #naturephotography

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

Big ole spotted moray came a slitherin’ thru this morning #spottedmoray #thatsamoray #moray #eel #slitherin #coral #coralcitycamera #miami #portmiami #biscaynebay #coralcity

I made a promise to Alex’s parents to continue to tell his story. An ICU nurse at the VA, an outdoorsman, a deeply generous, compassionate friend and family member, and a true son of Minnesota. Rest in peace, Alex.

brass solidarity band performing “stand by me” in the streets of whittier next to alex pretti’s memorial. the crowd started chanting “the people united will never be defeated” so they incorporated it into the song. i love minneapolis

Just a reminder of wisdom from my mom: “believe half of what you see and nothing that you hear…”

The MN Frost just did a moment of silence for Alex Pretti and we are now chanting “ICE out now”

For the first time in history of the #coralcitycamera we saw all four classes of vertebrate marine animals in one day! Mammal - Dolphin & Manatee, Reptile - Sea Turtle, Fish (Sharks & Rays and scores of Bony Fish species)… But the day belonged to the Birds! 5 cormorants!

ROFL!

You'll want to watch the toilet sled's spectacular crash into the crowd. youtu.be/WavjZtuHyiQ?...
