🍦What in the Minnesota -- It's opening day at the Moorhead, Minn. Dairy Queen. We got pummeled by a foot of snow overnight and it's dang cold and getting dark, but the ice cream line keeps growing. 🥹

Still can’t believe it’s real, but it is: Guaranteed Income for Artists in Otter Tail County! 🤩

We’re thrilled to support the work of musicians @BazilleTK and Elisha Marin through the Rural Regenerator Fellowship! Read today’s feature on @TheCurrent at thecurrent.org/feature/2022/1…

I would pay a teenager good money if they hung out in the daycare parking lot every morning and helped parents unload/bundle up their kids in the snow and ice .

We are thrilled to share that this past summer's youth arts exhibit in Otter Tail County, "Return to Normal? COVID Diaries from Local Youth" is now available as a virtual 360 tour! View the exhibit at springboardforthearts.org/return-to-norm…

There is so much incredibly creative and transformative work happening in rural communities all over the Upper Midwest, and I'm so grateful for the honor to be in these artists' orbit for the next couple of years.

hi! I’m a firm believer in knocking every door, but I realize that right now, that could mean putting your own safety at risk! here are a couple of tips I do before knocking a packet of #rural doors:

I know I can't be the only Otter Tail County political nerd starting to wonder (and making theories) about why Vergas is taking so long to report their votes...

We have an AMAZING @MinnesotaDFL candidate for House 9A. Nancy is an early childhood advocate and an experienced rural leader. Please give Nancy’s pages a follow and donate anything you can to help her get her message out!

Attention to all of the incredible rural artists, creatives, and change makers looking for connection and support in the Upper Midwest. We're looking for the next Rural Regenerator Fellows at @SpringboardArts. Apply by June 7!

To fully benefit from the contributions that artists can make to a more human, equitable and just future, we need to make life as an artist more sustainable and more equitable. Here are some specific recommendations. w/examples from @americanacad @SpringboardArts & others!

My friend @whitneykcoe guiding and grounding our country's divisive tendencies with so much heart and wisdom.

@jakekrohn How have we not discussed this? It’s my favorite town.

Today I found out that there’s a town in Minnesota called Cosmos and all (at least the ones that I saw) the streets are named after stars and constellations and other celestial objects. I love this so much.

Should I show you earrings again today!?

Grateful. Hopeful. These humans are some of the best. I can’t begin to describe how honored I am to get to have designed this program over the last year, and then see it already take on a life of its own. (And I also can’t begin to describe how tired I am).

@laurazabel What?! This…. Sounds like an actual nightmare I would have! Like the equivalent of your teeth crumbling in your mouth as you try to talk.

A cautionary tale for anyone easing back into in person events that require wearing shoes you might not have worn in a while…apparently shoes can go bad? Today I put on cute boots I haven’t worn in 2 years (hooray!)…
