Very excited that our local cultural fabric just became much richer with the opening of the Indigenous Art House in #FargoNd.
Indigenous Art House Inc. is a nonprofit that celebrates #NativeAmerican and #Indigenous #art and #culture. Curating exhibitions with established and emerging artists, selling works of local and regional artists, and creating space for organizations to come together in downtown #Fargo.
"Watching a DVD of the French film Amélie alone in my room, I saw for the first time a character who moved through the world like I do."

On approach to #Fargo, the Red River dividing #Minnesota and #NorthDakota. The Red River Valley is among the flattest landscapes in the world. During major flood events, it may swell from about 100 feet wide to more than 40 miles wide.

Congratulations to #Minnesota based @MattMcNeilShow on his expansion to the Georgia radio market. Listeners in #Atlanta are in for a treat.
#NorthDakota Senator Cramer vows to block all #Trump nominees until until federal wetlands rule is repealed and farmers can destroy any #wetlands they want.
Today I discovered an island of wild flowers hanging on between railroad tracks and a cement mixing company. I thought they deserved a round of applause, bringing a pinch of beauty to an otherwise blighted landscape.
There is a lot of good content on the #fediverse and #mastodon. I hear people complain about dead feeds, but that's not my problem here. I've started following the #RSS feeds of my favorite fedi posters, and some #Lemmy groups. Its a great way to segment content I don't want to miss for later reading.
We enjoyed the largest #Pride parade today that I can remember in #FargoMoorhead. Great community turnout! Fargo's new mayor, himself out and proud, was there in support. Five Lutheran and UCC churches, and #DFL #NPL, local business contingencies were present. It was a very fun and festive time, and the weather was perfect!

In Fargo, ND there is a jam packed used bookstore called BDS Books where I can wander for days. Lots of weird stuff. I picked up a high school year book, and page after page was annotated by a teacher, with notes about her students. She followed their lives. On this page with a picture of a basketball team, she wrote "These boys were in a car accident in Jamestown, ND, Aug-1961." The 19 year old apparently lost his life, the 20 year old his left arm. Page after page of these notes about students she taught. They were important to her. I should have bought it, but I now I dont think I could ever find it again in that cavernous place.

Silent, and extremely foggy out today. Where did the world go?
I'm waking up to a lot of work this morning. Sure is pretty though.

#Minnesota cop intervened with #ICE, gets citizen observer released after they illegally and unconstitutionally arrest her, search car, and rough her up.
Her husband told MPR News that after his wife was taken into custody, he called his attorney, and soon after, he got a call from St. Peter Chief of Police Matt Grochow, whom he said he has known for years.
The agents took the woman to the St. Peter police station, where she says Chief Grochow approached her, spoke with her, had her get into his squad car, and took her home.
