I just caught a nun jaywalking. She laughed. I smiled. It was the best.

It's really hard to actually listen to the stories we air when directing the show. Lots of juggling going on to make sure the next part of the show is ready. But my ears always soak hers in. Will miss her storytelling.

UPDATE: Minnesota House repasses the bill to provide a no-charge school breakfast and lunch to all students each day. Vote was 71-54.

It's on its way to @GovTimWalz, who says he'll sign the bill soon after he receives it. #mnleg

I am really liking the look of the European and American GFS models' temperatures for next week. A string of 40s is likely next week. If we hit 50F at MSP it will be the warmest day in almost 4 months.

@soonastudios CEO @lizgiorgi says the Silicon Valley Bank collapse story isn't as simple as tech bros losing money. SVB bet on women and BIPOC founders when traditional banks wouldn't. And w/fewer options, they stayed put while others ran. https://t.co/vx5B9Kdg4e

“We talk a lot in society about self-care, and so much of that got put back on the frontline workers, like, ‘Make sure you're taking care of yourself while you take of care everybody else.’ I think we have to find a way to take care of the caregivers.” https://t.co/mRQfyJMxnE

Only 5 of 574 federally recognized tribes have Freedom of Information laws. How does this support the third pillar of tribal sovereignty?

Junauda Petrus turned her poem, "Can We Please Give the Police Department to the Grandmothers" into a children's book. It's out in April. You can hear the poem in this 2020 piece I help South High students produce. I loved it so much. 🤗https://t.co/rk7t63jtCs

Also, salsa/seltzer season is coming soon, guys. Today is the first day of meteorological spring. We got this.

Did you know the rise of nonalcoholic beer and hard seltzer isn't coincidental? With demand for NA increasing, brewers are dealcoholizing more beer. And all that extra ethanol has to go somewhere. #TheMoreYouKnow https://t.co/MQNr4PeNVE

In the coming months, at least 100K Minnesotans could lose health insurance through Medicaid, as federal pandemic rules sunset.

The pandemic brought Americans outdoors in a big way. Remember sold-out bikes and snowshoes? Patios in the dead of winter? What Duluth nature photographer and author @EdmondsonDudley remembers most from those days is who was getting outside.
