Last chance to see Deviant Crop art show at Can Can! Through Oct. 11

Stpaulighoul@stpauligrrrl.bsky.social · 4w ago

I brought a piece to Can Can Wonderland’s Deviant Crop art show. Not family friendly because of the punching but also would be disqualified for not having 70% coverage. But that guy getting punched doesn’t deserve my time

Okay, here’s the dealio: I need 27 more people to sign up for the Twin Cities Bike Tour so I can win a bet. “I already registered!” you say? Cool. What about all of your friends, family, neighbors, contacts, and everyone else you know? I’m sure some of them haven’t. Come on. It’s for charity!

The Twin Cities Bike Tour is an annual autumn bike ride tradition with routes around the Twin Cities Minnesota metro area.

The WNBA needs to lengthen these playoff series before they lengthen the season again.

Amazing photo thread of the llama costume contest!

Llamas in costume!

If you missed this year's Llama & Alpaca Costume Contest at the Minnesota State Fair, the stream should be up for awhile and you should be able to watch it from the beginning. And tomorrow is the llama obstacle course. Still lots of stuff to come. Schedule/links/info below.

Livestreaming

The Minnesota State Fair is excited to present free livestreams of our draft horse shows and livestock shows.

Crop art is kind of indicative of the whole moving to Minnesota thing. At first your like ok art made of seeds that kinda cute. Then, a couple of years later, your like I’ve quit my job and joined a crop art commune. We live in a yurt outside Ely.

Omg, this is perfection!

A piece of crop art that deserves more attention: Liberty Leading the People by Bethany Nagan, which earned a 3rd place ribbon. This is her first piece of crop art, and I think she used literally every seed in the catalog 😂. The parallels between this and the Guernica piece are beautiful.

If you can’t make it to the fair, there will be three other opportunities to see some MN State Crop Art after the fair. First— Sept. 12-28 Boreal, 2276 Como Ave, St. Anthony Park (close to the fair) They have great gallery space and are welcoming crop art from anyone who exhibited at the fair.

I got a ribbon! If you see all the other amazing entries in amateur natural seeds crop art category, you will know what an honor it is for me to get an honorable mention.

This is the crop art I made for the Minnesota State Fair. In January 2026 I saw a post from Andi of @afinkandink and immediately reached out and asked if I could make a crop art version. She graciously said yes! I got a 3rd place ribbon for my work!

When I made this crop art piece I was thinking a lot about the fawn response to trauma, and how often women find ourselves doing this “it’s okay, I’m not mad!” thing when faced with abusive men in unsafe situations. I wish we knew more about Renee Good than just her last words to her murderer.

Especially love the conspiracy wall themed seed guide on “Plantifa”

Crop art goes hard this year, as we’ve all expected. I did my part with these five contributions. #cropart #seedart #mnstatefair #art

Always amazed at the detail the artists are able to achieve with their crop art. All hail Queen Phee!

After many months of work, this year's #CropArt for the #MNStateFair is complete! Featuring the lovely Napheesa Collier of the #MinnesotaLynx. There's some things I'd do differently if I started again, but I'm overall pleased with the result!

Hollllllly shit, Brandi, go off.

Art by Maureen Rafferty Sorensen. I think this is exquisite in every way, concept, context, media... It's for the Minnesota State Fair Crop Art competition.

There are a lot of very talented people who are either laid off from Big Tech or are disgusted with it and I know it’s a pay cut but state and local governments could really use some help right now, I’m just saying

Are the other 6+ states who were attacked behind the attacks on their water systems too?
