We spent the whole winter learning a whole new way to love our neighbors here in Minnesota - that extends to our neighbors without shelter.04 Sep 2026 22:34 +0000at://did:plc:fbbqydon5eehjiz63bf6bflh/app.bsky.feed.post/3mupzjfvj3c24https://bsky.app/profile/flanknits.bsky.social/post/3munjo2k4w22xIt’s a year later, and guess what?! My kiddo simply didn’t get a bus assignment this year. Even though we filled out the form last spring as instructed. Stay tuned for transportation updates the first week of school!

They torpedoed their own case by communicating extensively with Jake Lang. Par for the course for an agency that doesn’t intervene when our neighbors are being kidnapped by unidentified masked thugs.

It’s over 80 degrees at 11pm. For neighbors without air conditioning, and our neighbors experiencing unsheltered homelessness, these are incredibly dangerous conditions. I’ll be out tomorrow with masks and cold water, checking on neighbors. Please do the same.16 Jul 2026 04:23 +0000at://did:plc:fbbqydon5eehjiz63bf6bflh/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqqfaegzus2shttps://bsky.app/profile/flanknits.bsky.social/post/3mqqbu4dgvk2bUpdate that an hour later that AQI is approaching 500.

Check on your neighbors, including your unhoused neighbors.

We’ve spent this winter and spring proving that ordinary people can join together and do extraordinary things. Our community has shown up in extraordinary ways. 1/312 Jul 2026 15:05 +0000at://did:plc:fbbqydon5eehjiz63bf6bflh/app.bsky.feed.post/3mqhhat7mls2rhttps://bsky.app/profile/flanknits.bsky.social/post/3mqhgobirpc2rThis whole thread 🧵 . The rhetoric around our unhoused neighbors is often terrible - actively spreading narratives that serve those in power and don’t acknowledge the lived realities of our neighbors.
