Some scenes from today, 1: I attended the letterpress sale and got some artisan papers for a nature center that can use them for programs. Several letterpress folks were there picking up heavy equipment. (Scott even designed his own fonts and poured molten lead into molds to create them.) #poetry #poets #RedDragonfly #RedDragonflyPress #letterpress #MNastodon #Minnesota #arts #LetterpressPublishing

When a Poet Dies When a poet dies nothing happens. A lesser poet breakfasting on coffee and a cherry strudel picks up a newspaper, turns pages to pass time. After breakfast she will sit down to write. Thus begins the one-poem book "When a Poet Dies." This is a tribute to the poet William Stafford (Jan 1914--Aug 1993), but it’s also just a darn good story about poets and how they affect the world. #poetry #RedDragonflyPress #MNastodon

Hey #MNastodon , Does anyone know what Tom Morello’s participation will be in #NoKings today, where, or when? I doubt this happens but, dream scenario is that he plays the “Native American war chant” and lets the crowd sing it. https://youtu.be/LLMKAxFtjB8

This is heart-wrenching and important. And kind of personal (my bride grew up 2 blocks south of Annunciation, went to school & mass there; I’ve attended some services and weddings there some decades ago). #MassShootings #GunViolence #AssaultRifles #2a #SchoolShootings #MNastodon Gift link: https://www.startribune.com/mn-schools-closed-violent-threats-annunciation-shooting/601599341?utm_source=gift

I’m old enough to remember when women’s sports were an afterthought in the Sports section. Sunday’s (Feb 15, 2026 Sports section Cover Page of the Star Tribune features 3 stories about women’s college basketball: UofM Gophers (currently #10 nationally in NET rankings); a feature on St. Thomas hoops coach Ruth Sinn; Minnesota State Mankato’s top-ranked D2 team. And below the fold, an article on MN Twins’ new manager. Good job #strib for giving due coverage! #MNastodon #Minnesota #sports

If you have some spare coin, consider helping Kobe get back on his feet. Until last week, he was a cook at my local Asian restaurant. His family came here from Laos 40 years ago; almost all are citizens now, but Kobe is not. ICE found him, broke down his door without presenting a warrant, arrested him, moved him to a Texas detention center. He awaits deportation back to Laos where he knows no one. https://www.gofundme.com/f/help-kobe-rebuild-his-life-in-laos/ #MNastodon #Minnesota #deportee

Senator Klobuchar correctly observes: 2 of 3 Minneapolis homicides so far in 2026 were done by Feds (1 ICE, 1 Border Patrol agent).
