It’s kind of astonishing to see refugee crises on the news and then months later kids show up in my neighborhood school.
I don’t often brag about Minnesota but we do have some organizations that do a good job resettling folks.
Some recent arrivals have gotten their essays published. Amazing students! Book launch is this Saturday at the Science Museum.
I’m so proud of them!

My youngest started high school today 😭
and he reported back that there were chairs and desks just like in movies. He was so impressed! I was so confused.

He had never sat in one of those chairs with a little arm table attached. Big time Hollywood movie set equipment! 🤩

Interesting!

Who’s really in charge here? GI Tim gonna cave to the cops, i see. They’re pouting because they can’t keep our children in a chokehold inside school buildings.

My dumb dog won’t come inside. It’s 99 and humid. And he’s got black fur!!! This is not playtime!

I don’t think he’d survive the coming heat apocalypse without me.

We got our Timmy Stimmy on Friday, so I’ve some extra cash to play with. Sent some to local folks via mutual aid networks… but I’m also joyfully donating to the East Phillips community farm project.
It’s an incredible opportunity to lift up this neighborhood. Also, they handed Frey a major L and I’ll always love them for that. 💜
