🍦What in the Minnesota --
It's opening day at the Moorhead, Minn. Dairy Queen. We got pummeled by a foot of snow overnight and it's dang cold and getting dark, but the ice cream line keeps growing. 🥹 – at Moorhead, MN

I know I can't be the only Otter Tail County political nerd starting to wonder (and making theories) about why Vergas is taking so long to report their votes...
We have an AMAZING @MinnesotaDFL candidate for House 9A. Nancy is an early childhood advocate and an experienced rural leader. Please give Nancy’s pages a follow and donate anything you can to help her get her message out!
I can't do this without your support. Your contribution of $100, $50 or even $5 will make a huge difference - and the state will refund you up to $50 for a campaign donation. Please donate today! nancyjost.com/donate.

To fully benefit from the contributions that artists can make to a more human, equitable and just future, we need to make life as an artist more sustainable and more equitable. Here are some specific recommendations. w/examples from @americanacad @SpringboardArts & others!
Artists can help us emerge and heal from the global pandemic — but first we have to create more systems that support them and their work, writes @laurazabel of @springboardarts trib.al/pQ4WUvH

Grateful. Hopeful. These humans are some of the best. I can’t begin to describe how honored I am to get to have designed this program over the last year, and then see it already take on a life of its own. (And I also can’t begin to describe how tired I am).
What a joy to spend time with our #RuralRegenerator cohort, exploring, planning, and dreaming about our interconnected futures and rural places where artists are essential. Special thanks to our facilitators Jamie Horter and Keith Braveheart!
