Thanks so much to all of you who gave me great advice on travel to #midwest during Dec/Jan.

Now, anyone at UW #Madison have any clever possibilities for me re staying in dorm during winter holiday? Long shot, but some places do this. I could do an airbnb, or hotel but would love to save money.

I've never lived in cold climate. Anyone in #midwest U.S. have advice re possible visit to #Wisconsin in Dec. or Jan? Weather could delay flight etc. - anything else to consider?

Greetings from September 1 in the Midwest.

From my morning walk.

My advice this weekend: If at all possible, get outside and be in nature. If only for a few minutes.

And if you can't, open a window and listen. Or put a plant near your seat.

It always reminds me that we are not so important after all.

We're missing the blooms that should still be present in our #ButterflyGarden already. The recent #HeatDome in the #MidWest that caused 100°+ weather killed it off. 😔

3 old rail tunnels on the Sparta Elroy bike trail, so long you MUST have lights to get through. 2 are 1/4 mile, and one is 3/4 of a mile. The trail is the first rails to trails conversion in the US, and part of a network of trails in Wisconsin. #bikechi #biking #midwest

Mixed feelings about how Ryan Hall presents #weather but he often explains #systems really well, so I can picture what's going on. He explains the #instability that will come out of the current giant pile of heat in #NorthAmerica's #Midwest so that I had a very good grasp of how each system affects the other.

#WhiskerWednesday under a ☀️🥵#HeatDome in the #MidWest is going to be horrible. The feel like temp is going to be 115° with humidity in 60%-80% . My #Catio will be closed in about 20 minutes due to #ExessiveHeat. I don't like being stuck inside all day, especially since all the drapes are closed 😿. But mom butler staff says it's not safe outside, so I must put up with it.

More than 150 million under heat alerts today and into midweek. Another day of heat index 120-130+ in parts of the Midwest yesterday with more today.

Records keep on falling. Del Rio has seen a ludicrous 17 record highs and 19 record warm lows in August so far. Many more 100s on the way to New Orleans, as well. https://wapo.st/3KVmShp #uswx #midwest #plains #south #hot #climatechange

After a day of "stuff", I needed a #soundtrack for the night which will release the stimulation in a chill way.

Enter Shelby Merry's Tiger Heart. Hailing from Ohio, her music has more in common with a #Louisiana #dirge than generic #Midwest moody pop/rock.

A beat which asks you to move, a lyricism to make you think and, when you least want or expect it, a quiet, powerful void to get you used to a time when this music has to end.

This #album got me thinking, and that's Merry's M.O. in a can.

Alert the elders

When feeling spiteful in the past, I used to say that the problem with Columbus is that it’s the San Jose of the #midwest. But that’s not fair to Columbus. The problem with Columbus is that the city leadership wants it to be San Jose, and don’t give a shit about the people who actually live there.

I've always wondered what happened to Ben, that weird kid that always had fireworks

Seems like a #Minnesota / #Midwest thing: Coffee cake as a dinner side dish, then serve an entirely different cake for dessert.

Some good news from the #Midwest : Lawrence, #Kansas will be the first city in Kansas to pass legislation to protect Black people and others from #racial #discrimination based on hair type and texture, based on the #CROWNact

Please look at the #covid wastewater data in the midwest.

This absolutely correlates with what I'm seeing in my county.

Go back to wearing a mask. Especially now that we're learning what #LongCovid is doing to people's hearts and mitochondria.

(Worsening heart conditions, even with mild covid...and long covid seems to be breaking down our mitochondria, building blocks for our cells)
