Environmental note: the Robins are back (or they never left). I saw three small flocks of them (maybe 12 or so) before the cold and blizzard. I haven't seen them today. #climatechange #minnesota

@sarahkendzior @gaslitnation I'm also wondering if Stone is still working his connections. It seems clear to me now (not then) that he was behind Franken's inglorious fall. But now I see our other senator is targeted for things that would be pretty ordinary on a RateYourProfessor site.

@LisaHLibrarian you bet!

@sarahkendzior Similar to Catholic Church. Whenever there was a scandal, the screws tightened on the parishioners to donate more $; defer more completely to draconian ideology; view the culprits as victims of unfair scrutiny. The culprits then lived more lavishly and abused more frequently.

Glad tidings, everyone!

@pkhorn @petehautman @Candlewick I got this one for Archie from Valley Bookseller in Stillwater! Also picked up Q and Ray by the Shaskans, Danez Smith's poetry, Sarah Stonich's Laurentian Divide, Wendy Webb, and a bunch more.

@sarahkendzior A photographer should contribute some thoughts. Why do Trump's publicity photos always include a phone? The prop suggests some kind of busy-ness. Or a connection to...someone. Who, though? He's a terrible businessperson, horrible partner and father. Who's he actually talking to?

@sarahkendzior @k_kellykelly This argument: "How would you feel if this were your 15 yo daughter?" I teach/edit memoir. Nearly ALL the women writers have a sexual assault story they include, but then want to cut out at the end. Nearly ALL their parents told them hush up or "lie down in the bed you made."

@megwestman Thank you!

@sarahkendzior I heard Trump admit to Obstruction of Justice with my own ears. Mueller, do you need more witnesses? There's a whole bunch of us out here. You can add charges later. Throw us a bone.

@thekurtist @LibLaura5 @HeatherBouwman @MLosure Baseball wins every time, friend. What I'd love most is to have a toss with you behind the Loft this spring. Once the footballing people leave, of course.
