I’ve entered my Minnesota Lynx era - tickets to the last 3 home games and nails to match!

I really really really hope to never see another Angie Craig ad after today.
Checking out the Breakfast Club before spending money at Maegers and Quinn (you know, to support actual Uptown businesses), and the elderly gentleman next to us at the bar asked about my We Keep Us Safe shirt - is that the police? No, no it is not 🙃
I basically spend all year anticipating Star Trek: The Cruise. It’s not deep, but it’s a distraction from *waves hand vaguely at everything.* Levar Burton a guest in 2027, and I am beside myself. Currently assembling an army of geordi bears add to the rainbow bookmarks I’m making.
Ace was named for the best Doctor Who companion, but she’s grown to be moopsy shaped. Now I need a Star Trek/Doctor Who crossover involving Ace and some moopsies.
Not enough people at #CVG2026 have seen Widow’s Bay, but hopefully my hype train has peaked some interest
CONvergence cosplay prep supervised by Mr. “I ate 5 feet of ribbon that required $8k of surgery, what do you mean I can’t be left alone with raffia.” Working on e4 and e8 Widow’s Bay Patricias - spell books and creepy crowns and tasers and shotguns oh my! Kyle gets to closet cosplay Tom.
Any CONvergence geeks on the MSP feed? All my ribbons have been delivered or dug out of the basement and are set for the 4 days a year I pretend to be an extrovert!

Me: it’s been an exhausting year, I’m not going to do any costumes or ribbons for CONvergence, and just keep it low key Also me: *hyperfocuses on Widow’s Bay and thrifts as many Patricia costumes as I can over the next 3 weeks*

These are the victims of the return to office mandate. Boss, just look at that sad Moosey face.
Heyyyy it’s that day where your friends in the twin cities once again won’t shut up about Prince. My contribution is my favorite punny costume - Purrple Rain, done for CONvergence 2021.
I’ve been dreaming of a space themed piercing set up for years, and it’s all coming together with this custom hidden helix piece from BVLA. Working with the folks at Bevel Minneapolis, I may not have lived out my childhood dream of going to space, but I can wear that kid’s wonder and hope every day.
Watching For All Mankind right after the Artemis splashdown is just a one two punch in the gut. I’m not crying you’re crying.
Nurturing interest in space exploration in the next generation
As we teeter on the brink of nuclear WW3, please find a little joy in just how proud this little guy is of his handy work. He yelled at us until we followed him to the bathroom, and then rolled around the floor purring with pride
Kitten posting will continue until morale improves. Did I tell ya’lll that this little asshole ate 5 feet of ribbon the day before we were supposed to leave for our Star Trek Cruise? Luckily caught it before we left and got Roan into emergency surgery. His nickname is now Gold Pressed Latinum.
Just put in a preorder to pick this up at Magers and Quinn in June. I have a had a hard time reading non fiction beyond doomscrolling the news, but will make it a goal to actually read this book
Never imagined I would be saying this: but My book is coming out in June and you can now preorder it wherever you buy books! This was a project I could never have dreamed of and I feel wildly lucky to have done it. Turns out there might be a lot to learn about our country from my hometown
