The Bell Museum is a natural history museum with a planetarium located on the University of Minnesota Twin Cities St. Paul campus. With diorama exhibits, events like Star Parties, the Touch and See Lab, and more, it should be on your 2026 bucket list to visit.

One of the amazing things about the Minnesota Historical Society's Forest History Center is the way it's in communication with the land around it.

I have taken an expansive view on Minnesotanness. I think of it as a name we assign to a geography and appreciate together. That's how I get to the place where I'm speaking of a people that were here long before MN was a political body. Is that misguided? See comments for more.

Hello puppets! In the Heart of the Beast recently moved from its longtime home at the Avalon Theater on Lake Street (shown here), but programming resumed in a new location in Lowry Hill in November! Have you ever seen a performance?

The face-down porcelin nursing dolls: Practical for an archivist, a bit unsettling for me.

In my visit to the Spam Museum, I tried to get some more info on this George Hormel story, but they don't like to talk about it. I dive deeper into this in my Hidden Middle episode on meat.

I learned about the origins of Jack Link's Sasquatch in this episode of Hidden Middle.

The Manny's Special at Manny's Tortas in the Midtown Global Market on Lake Street in Minneapolis might be the greatest sandwich I've ever had.

Today, the American people won. After we exposed Trump's $1.8 BILLION taxpayer funded slush fund & threatened to make Republicans vote on every part of it, they're running scared. They've pulled down votes & are going home. We know they'll be back at it, but so will we.

The #28PointPlan is not a #Peace Plan — it’s a call for capitulation. Trump seems ready to sacrifice Ukraine’s security — and Europe’s — for it. Strategic autonomy isn’t built in speeches but in daily decisions. And #EDIP should only be the first of many.

I'm disgusted by how ICE is treating people in our communities. We've given agents sweeping authority without the training we'd demand of nearly any other agency that carries a badge—and the result is cruelty, fear, and families living in indecent conditions. The people of New Jersey deserve better.

One of my coturnix quail chicks hurt his right leg. This can happen as they start to develop feathers. But he’s also the smallest so I’ve put in electrolyte water, mashed up his chick starter, made sure he was hydrated before I went to bed. I have a camera on him and he’s separated from the others.

We attack military targets in Russia, or their energy, which they sell to fund war. Russians deliberately target civilian objects: museums, schools, apartments. They destroyed this Chornobyl museum that we built for 40th anniversary just one month ago. Crazy assholes -Zelensky🇺🇦

Serenity prayers aside, it's still very hard to not bear a grudge against the Oldham 'keeper for this. Pivotal, not just to last night's game but to the relegation and playoff races as a whole. It's the simplest mistakes which cost. #oafc 🔵 #ncafc 🧡🖤

“We gotta stop acting like the slightest inconvenience is more important than our freedom. They’re doing reparations in our face and giving it to January 6ers…they are laughing in our face because they know that we will not actually divest to the point of actually making change.”―Lynae Vanee #PINKS
