Squall line incoming and the strongest part will affect Bloomington in the 8:30 to 9:00 time frame. Greatest threat is for some wind damage, along with heavy rain + lightning. Not a time to be outdoors or walking across campus or to the bus.

I think it did all of those in quick succession on my campus -> Kroger -> home trip this evening. Related, drivers without their headlights on in pouring rain at 7 pm can bite me.

I've been sharing this Adrienne Rich poem with a lot of folks as we move closer to the collapse of first amendment freedoms. Please read, understand, share. It is not an answer. It is, instead, the very question we must ask and keep asking.

I woke up around 4:30 am and looked out, and it was snowing HARD. Pretty impressive.

I was numbed-out after coming within a whisker of being whacked by a tornado on the night this originally aired & couldn't fully appreciate it. Just watched again & wow.

Thank you. Me too!

All OK! Lots of damage a few blocks from me though. That was way too close.

Cats and I are safe in bathroom. Lots of funky noises happening not sure what's going on.

Who said they wished it were spring?? It's all your fault, whoever you are!

We are living through dark, disturbing and dangerous times, but do not despair — the cavalry is coming! Bruce Springsteen and The E Street Band will be taking the stage this spring from Minneapolis to California to Texas to Washington, D.C. for the Land of Hope And Dreams American Tour.

Life goals right there. ❤️

106!! Wow. I bet your friend has LOTS of happy memories of her... she sounds amazing.

Can vouch for this person. Help out if you can!

Relationship goals!! ❤️

Text message that includes off sides commentary to a dog "I know you got Mama while she's doing something. You're a very good girl though."

My all time favorite genre of text message is from harried people with dogs who use voice to text for composition.

So many folks who thought Born in the USA was a pro-America song are suddenly worried about not understanding lyrics.

Pretty sure it wasn’t actually Liam. But it was a clear homage.

THIS.

Oh my bad… looks like it wasn’t. Either way, the point was made.

OK "god bless america" and then naming every country in the americas from south to north is absolute king shit

Fuck ICE

😭🥰

Re: cutest child. Now I have even more goosebumps retroactively. Brilliant!!

This is what I am just finding out! Incredible! And now I have even more goosebumps.

I think one of the best things about Bad Bunny’s performance is that it was so *specific*. It so clearly had a point of view coming from real lived experience and actual emotion, actual heart, not cynical calculation. Just beautiful.

1. This choreography is super fun
2. Was that the cutest small child on the planet or what?! (With the Grammy)
3. You know, I think pretty much every high school in the country offers Spanish classes. If you can't understand the words you pretty much only have yourself to blame.

Yesterday, five-year-old Liam and his dad Adrian were released from Dilley detention center. I picked them up last night and escorted them back to Minnesota this morning.

Liam is now home. With his hat and his backpack.

Omg that sounds amazeballs. Now I crave it too!
