After 24 hours in Minneapolis I think I have a very good understanding of why people live here! It absolutely rules, even in January. I just haven't come to understand *how* yet
As someone who left Boston after a major snowstorm with temps in the tens to come to a place which i had to buy a whole new layer of clothes just to be able to comfortably stand vigil in what consistently feels like subzero, I will freely admit these people are made of something else
Jan 30, 2026 04:24My day started with an inspirational speech over breakfast from Minnesota AG Keith Ellison and ended with new friends around the corner from the deeply touching memorial to Alex Pretti's murder only five days ago
Also I am just kind of kicking around Minneapolis now after having crested the wave of exhaustion from not having slept last night, meeting dozens of people, taking a break to file a habeas petition, and crushing hard on the very first person i met here so i welcome your ideas
