I heard recently that you can tell a lot about a person by the first movie they know Tim Curry from and I literally can’t stop thinking about it.

so say in the tags what’s the first movie you know Tim Curry from. Mines muppets treasure island

Short answer: Nah I'm not Native, despite what my mother has convinced herself. I started trying to learn Ojibwemowin and Dakotah because they're the languages of the Native people of this area and it only seemed fair, if that makes sense.

Anyway, to answer the important questions: The bad news is yeah, unfortunately it is expensive to live in the metro area proper. It's not as bad in some places like East Midway, Frogtown, Payne-Phalen, along University Ave in St. Paul and Robert Street in West St Paul, or Midtown/Phillips, North Minneapolis, Whittier and Loring Park (very queer neighborhood) in Minneapolis, but even the studio apartments start out north of 700/month.

The good news: Yep, the Twin Cities have protections for queer people, Minneapolis especially is LGBTAI2S-friendly, and you being Native and queer means you have access to some support programs. I did a little digging and I hope these will at least give you a place to start.

To anyone living in Minnesota, specifically around the Twin Cities, how is it there? Please, please let me know because I'm making future plans and may or may not move there in the near future.

Peter Morwood

I am so sorry to have to tell you all about this. None of you, I suspect, will ever have any idea how sorry.

I am in utter shock and terrible pain to have to inform everyone that our friend, my dear husband and creative partner of nearly forty years, Peter Morwood, passed away suddenly early this morning after a brief illness that as late as yesterday (when his doctor saw him) had seemed to be on the mend.

I'm not in any position to say much more about this situation now, as you'll understand my current mental state is not up to the task. (I keep expecting to wake up from a bad dream, but it shows no sign of breaking.) I will let people know more about this in coming days.

There will be a postmortem shortly to determine the exact cause of his death. I'll share what details of this are appropriate as they become clear.

Meanwhile in the short term I'm very much going to need assistance with the expenses that in the days that follow will inevitably surround what's happened. For those people who want to assist, please feel free to use the Ko-Fi account here, and simply tag the associated messages, etc, "P expenses". ETA: Please choose the Stripe payment option at Ko-Fi rather than PayPal, as PP seems to be having some kind of obscure difficulties at the moment. I have disconnected PayPal until this is resolved.

My love will wait for me, I know, however long it takes. He's never minded waiting. (the saddest smile) My job now is to make sure he's not forgotten while I go on.

Meanwhile, can I just say to all of of you: I thank you all ahead of time for all the support and fondness for Peter that I know so many of you will express. He'd blush over it, I know. (He always did.) Please forgive me for being unable to do much in the way of answering messages, just now, in the wake of having to get to grips with this sudden and awful change in my world.

But also let me say, so urgently: Hug your loved ones now, while you can. Eventually a day will come when, expected or not, your opportunities end.

Thanks, friends.

Put in the tags why you would or wouldn't consider any of these states "the Midwest"

I can try to help, what would you like to know?

To anyone living in Minnesota, specifically around the Twin Cities, how is it there? Please, please let me know because I'm making future plans and may or may not move there in the near future.

It Always Is

May 5, 1909

In the first panel, a man trudges through snow on May 1st and says "It's always dummed cold in Minnesota in May"

In the second panel, he sweats on May 5th and says "Or Dummed Hot!"

Minnesota weather is fickle.

Frost fans!

If you had to pick another team to root for during the regular season, which would it be?

(Charge, Fleet, Sceptres, Sirens, and Victoire fans each has their own poll, go vote in it!)
