Retired copy editor, having worked for one trade magazine 3/2002 to 12/2024 and other now-dead trade magazines before that. Terminal oncology patient since 5/2018. Photographer, glass artist, and fan of both live music and all four seasons. (he/his)

My application for the apartment in NE Minneapolis is now with the property manager, and after I emailed it to her, I googled for "Minneapolis cat rescues" and saw some real cuties looking for homes. I'll probably wait to adopt until I'm very settled, but I'm happy with how things are going.

If you celebrate, happy Easter.

(The photo isn’t mine, but it’s my cover photo on Facebook every Easter, so why not here, too.)

If NOTHING else, isn’t it time for someone to take his phone while it’s on the First Charger, turn off both wifi and cell service, and use a Sharpie to draw the lines on there so he THINKS he’s online?

Always happy to post my cat on Caturday. I’ve always loved the symmetry of my arm with her foreleg in this pic.

A reference to it nudged me into picking up Wells' "War of the Worlds," which I doubt I've reread since around 7th grade. It's still great -- solid pacing, wonderful tension. Fine descriptive work with that overlay of horror. Good choice.

I adopted my cat in mid-May ’98 and the shelter said she was 10 weeks old, so I counted back and chose Feb. 28 as her birthday. She died in my lap of old age in Nov. ’18 and I miss her every day. I’ve got thousands of photos of her but here are four for #Caturday.

I saw a guy with a staple gun putting up fliers on the boarded Gray’s Drug in Dinkytown. You don’t see much of that anymore so I went over to look. A six-person startup in the collectible sneakers space is seeking a social media manager.

We are losing a generation. When we speak of Civil Rights and the Civil Rights Movement we speak of a multigenerational moment of people who fought an uphill battle against a system they weren’t allowed to win in.

And their stories are being erased and rewritten

RIP Rev. Jackson, thank you.

this is a subject that's near and dear to my heart

1. no you didn't, you retconning fucks

2. your decades of anti-governance "free market" "government never functions" propaganda paved the way for the complete authoritarian decimation of labor, consumer, environmental protections

Look. I'm sure your city is . . . perfectly nice. But do your rocks and fields and frozen lakes cry out for justice as prettily as ours?

Is anyone else OK with the thought that it’s OK if the plane turns back around on its next flight too?

I am a little confused because so many people here are talking about other sports as if there weren’t all the state pinball championships happening today with some real upsets in the mix.
