Hey Minnesota,
if the forecast holds, we’ve got a chance to see the aurora tonight, peak activity is expected around 10PM. So if you’ve got a camera (or just a sense of wonder), head somewhere dark and away from light pollution. You won’t regret it.

And if you’re looking for something meaningful to do while waiting for the sky to light up - come join us today at noon. I’m helping organize an event with the Ukrainian American Women’s League and the Ukrainian Community Center to raise awareness about the abduction of Ukrainian children. It’s happening at 505 4th St NE, Minneapolis, MN (between St. Constantine & St. Michael churches). You don’t have to be Ukrainian to care. You just have to be human.

Lately I’ve been engraving little wooden pieces on my glowforge - they’ll go in the center of the blue and yellow bracelets kids will make at our event.

It’s happening on June 1st in Minneapolis and is dedicated to Ukraine’s abducted children. Since the full-scale invasion, over 19,000 have been abducted. Most haven’t come back.

There’ll be craft materials, art, stories, and even a multifaith prayer. I’m an atheist, but I’ll be there too.

If you’re nearby, I’ll be happy to see you at 12PM, Sunday, June 1st
505 4th St NE, Minneapolis, MN 55413
