Absolutely perfect morning for a 50 mile mountain bike ride today! Temperature was cool, was mostly cloudy with some brief appearances by the sun, no wind, no bugs, clean trails, and a whole lot of fun.

Had a lot of fun at the #mankato #curling club #golf “tournament” yesterday. The event affirmed what I have observed about the curling community: it’s the fun kind of competitive, but also a no judgment zone. It was a great way to spend a late summer day, make new people connections, and copiously laugh. I’m looking forward to the new season in less than 3 months!

A municipal park near Mount Kato in Mankato which went by various names is now officially Mni Wašté Park, pronounced “mini wash-TAY.” In Dakota it means “good water.” https://www.mprnews.org/story/2023/08/22/mankato-city-park-renamed-in-dakota-language-to-mni-wat-park

Some gorgeous reflections (and numerous geese) on the pond during my commute through Rasmussen Woods today. Still a bit chilly in the morning, but that spring sun...wow!

On July 15, 2021, #Minnesota Governor Tim Walz signed an Executive Order restricting #ConversionTherapy, but he never enforced it against people practicing #ABAabuse, the basis of modern conversion therapy.

For two years, I advocated for MSU, #Mankato and the Minnesota DFL Party to #BanABA

Now, on #AutismAcceptanceMonth, the Minnesota Senate has passed SF 23, a conversion therapy ban that excludes #ABA

To #ActuallyAutistic and otherwise #Neurodivergent people who’ve survived #HumanRightsViolations, know that you didn’t deserve any of that awful shit.

The enforcers of #neuronormativity are inhuman, not you.

To reiterate, the path to #NeurodivergentLiberation is through #socialism

Organize.

This morning a local group for promoting tourism in town had a photo shoot at the #fatbike trails. I decided to join the fun as well as make my own little video. Enjoy!

#MLK was disliked by most Americans, including his own people. When I founded the #Neurodiversity Activists at #Minnesota State University, #Mankato, I sought to implement #cooperative principles to ensure emotional safety and #conscientization the latter of which entails ruffling some feathers at the University. That didn’t happen, so I left. #NeurodivergentLiberation

I resigned as Graduate Studies Senator of the 90th Student Government at #Minnesota State University, #Mankato because, as radical #feminist Audre Lorde once said, “the master’s tools will never dismantle the master’s house.”

#snowshoeing today was excellent. Fresh snow #FTW I think I need to find some new courses for myself around the city. My local park is great for a quick outing, but I need to explore. Anyone know of some good spots in #Mankato or other spots in #SouthernMinnesota ?

Mixed precipitation is expected with a light glaze of ice along with a trace of sleet and snow.

The greatest impacts from this wintry mix will likely fall in a narrow band, which may still shift north or south of the advisory area.

Slow down and use caution while traveling.

A winter storm will cause travel impacts starting late tomorrow,
and lasting into Wednesday. The worst conditions will be Tuesday
morning and early afternoon.

Significant icing is expected Monday night changing over to snow on Tuesday.

Travel is strongly discouraged. If you must travel, keep an extra flashlight, food, and water in your vehicle in case of an emergency. Prepare for possible power outages.
