@AimeeWitteman Love our induction cooktop!

@TonyPerkWX Whoa! I don’t think we’ve even had a hard freeze yet!

@sjacobs Made it last night using pearl couscous instead of farro. Topped with some delicious crispy chili oil instead of Parmesan. Sooo good.

[Becky Monnens @BMonnens]

@sjacobs Perfect timing to use up the corn my parents dropped off a couple days ago!

[Becky Monnens @BMonnens]

Far too accurate.

By age 30 and having a career in nonprofit, you should have:

—wanted to be an ED

—met someone who is an ED who looks so grizzled and haunted by being an ED that you vowed never to ever be an ED

—thought about going into real estate

SD's first responders have endorsed Medicaid expansion! Why? Because it's good for the health of our communities, rural areas and SD families. Today the SD EMS Assoc. and the SD Firefighters Assoc. announced their support of Amendment D. Here's more: https://t.co/LYvyDCbZ6K.

@klineStel @SDPBNews I didn’t get to listen to you often but loved hearing you when I did happen to catch your broadcasts. @SDPBNews needs to reevaluate their listeners’ abilities to understand pronoun usage and our desire to hear from diverse voices.

@bymorganmatzen Hmmm. But if the other 96% of principals said 50% of theirs students saw learning loss, that actually IS quite a few students.

@ziibiing Even more fun to make it for the family or a party, then you can worry for the next 24 hours about poisoning everyone else, too!

@Kentbush One in Robbinsdale, too.

Today our SD Attorney General took a plea deal to avoid serving jail time. He hit & killed a man walking in the ditch with his car. Said he thought he hit a deer. Borrowed local sheriff's car to drive home. Victim's glasses were in front seat of his car. How is he still employed?

[Becky Monnens @BMonnens]

Exactly this. My kids did distance learning for a year but this year didn’t have that option. Now there is no mask mandate in the schools or anywhere else and they’re all home with COVID for the first two weeks of school.

Please disregard our governor. South Dakota would be glad to welcome Afghan refugees to our state. We have lots of jobs and plenty of people willing to help. #HiFromSD

@WriterDowner @MaintenancePod But if you listen to the pod it wasn’t created as a screening tool for healthcare AND it’s also remarkably bad at screening for health concerns for both fat AND thin people. Blood pressure, cholesterol, family history are all far better screening tools for all.

“I try to give our point of view [on contemporary issues] so we have a voice,” he said. "I'm not an elected official, and I can’t speak for all Native Americans, but I can speak for myself – that gives me a unique perspective.”

Why am I crying???

[Isaac Fitzgerald @IsaacFitzgerald]

Last night sitting outside of a bar a man yelled “Josh!” as another man rode by on a bike. The man presumably named Josh slammed on his brakes as the other man leapt up from his chair and embraced him. They held each other for a *VERY* long time, laughing at first, then silence..
