Mothering two daughters and daughtering one mother who lives with dementia (and me). Women’s basketball brings me joy. Local politics bring me pain, but I talk about it anyways.
If you are not at Target Center this summer, what are you even doing with your life!?

Minneapolis & St Paul, this is an incredible deal. You can get rest of season Lynx tickets for $250, or $19 per game. If we win the championship, they will refund you, completely! You also get early access to playoff tickets. go.lynxbasketball.com/tickets/cash...

Just remember, the Lynx still aren't at full power.
yesterday, trump goons raided the offices of the ohio organizing collaborative, a group that’s been doing voter registration for over 20 years. they even showed up at people’s homes. we have to watch out for this shit. it is an outright attack on Black voters, and on all of our freedom to vote
The Minnesota Lynx are a balm to the soul of a hurting city, Minneapolis. If you’re not watching the absolute magic happening on this team right now, you’re missing out. It’s beautiful basketball from incredible women and it will bring you so much joy. Trust me. Pull up to a game this summer.
A lot of nicknames have been tossed around for Olivia Miles to start the season, but this might get my vote (not that it carries much weight, but)

The world can be a feast of cruelty but also … Olivia Miles!

Courtney Williams' shot chart to begin the season is ridiculous — 38/76 (50%) on non-paint twos — 15/33 (45.5%) on above the break threes.
Emese Hof will be active tonight for the Lynx, their first use of a dev spot for a game. Reeve said Hof will be used for depth in the post while the Lynx get back up to full health.
Again, players on standard contracts - which *includes* 'training camp' and rookie-scale contracts - have to be waived, clear waivers, then re-signed to development contracts in order to be moved to dev spots. Also, of course, no guarantee they clear without being claimed. #WNBA
I’ve described May Day as “deeply Minneapolis shit” and a “conservative’s nightmare.” It’s the best day of the year, and you should check out this thread if you want to learn about it.
Naomi Kritzer@naomikritzer.bsky.social · 3mo agoMinneapolis celebrates spring with a parade of giant handmade socialist puppets and a festival where people row the sun across the lake. This year's Mayday festival was today, and I'm going to try to share some photos and videos (many taken by others) to try to explain it for my non-local friends.
THIRTY MINUTES. thirty goddamn minutes.
Minnesota Star Tribune@startribune.com · 4mo agoNewly released records on the police response to the assassination of Melissa Hortman show officers knew a woman was lying motionless on the top of the stairs inside the Hortman home but waited 30 minutes to physically check on her.
Can you tell who has been here in Minnesota working out for the past month
July 21 1935: The Führer orders a new reception hall and ballroom to "entertain foreign diplomats" at the Chancellery. Underneath the dance floor is an air raid shelter. A 2nd deeper bunker is built next to this in 1944, where he would spend his last days as the Reich collapsed.
Aaron Rupar@atrupar.com · 4mo agoTrump rants his ballroom will feature "Bomb Shelters, a State of the Art Hospital & Medical Facilities,Top Secret Military Installations, Protective Missile Resistant Steel, Drone Proof Ceilings, Military Grade Venting, & Bullet, Ballistic, & Blast Proof Glass" Dafuq kind of ballroom is this?
Jim Pete was very bullish on Howard and he worked with her a ton. We picked her up after two years in Indy, she went to the finals with the Lynx in 2016 and 2017, but she was coming off the bench behind Sylvia Fowles and Rebekkah Brunson. Of course she went somewhere to get minutes.
Richard Cohen@richardcohen.bsky.social · 4mo agoNatasha Howard going back to Minnesota is... interesting. It was a long time ago, but her career only took off when she got away from Cheryl Reeve. Now going back there, and back to Reeve, to try and help fill their Smith-sized hole. #WNBA
For at least one night, (probably) the biggest contract in WNBA history belongs to Bridget Carleton. #WNBA (I don't know for certain how much they threw at the big names back in the day to join the W instead of the ABL)
