Postcards for the DNR
so I love postcards. I send them, I have them lying around from various trips, I'm excited whenever someone takes the time to send one to me. So I had a thought: Postcards for the DNR. If you have any Northern MN based postcards left over from trips past, or are headed somewhere where they sell postcards, send them to

Commissioner Sarah Strommen
Minnesota Department of Natural Resources
500 Lafayette Road
St. Paul, MN 55155

and tell her to cancel the mining lease. Remind her and everyone who works in that office who handles the mail of what an amazing place we live in. Postcards from anywhere would be welcome to this idea, silly postcards of mosquitos, state park based postcards, camping postcards, BWCA and VNP postcards. Flood her inbox with tangible reminders of what this place is, who we are, and the love we all share.

Meeting.
There's a moment when we first meet the water and we know who we are.

This morning the US Senate votes to do irreversible damage to our state by stripping current protections and ensuring no future protections can be put in place for the Boundary Waters Canoe Are (BWCA) and Voyageurs National Park

This vote is happening this Thursday morning, our state Senators are on the floor trying to stop it.

So, if your state has Republican Senators, light up their phones, emails, and social media tonight and tomorrow morning.
202-224-3121.
Be direct, be concise, be polite, be effective. The only thing you need to tell your senator is: vote "no" on HJR 140.

Meeting comes from this area. My experiences here have shaped my life.

The Republicans in the Senate passed this, and next up is the 2027 federal budget which would give the Chilean-owned copper-sulfide mining company leases to mine in the Boundary Waters watershed. It would not allow judicial review of those leases.

It sounds like the Republicans in the Senate are going to try to sell out the Boundary Waters Canoe Area Wilderness to a foreign mining company today. The BWCA is a million acres of designated Wilderness in northern Minnesota with over 1,000 lakes. The water is so clean that you can drink it straight from the middle of the lakes. The type of mining this foreign company would do, which has never been done in Minnesota before, has a 100% track record of pollution.

Even if you have already called, please, call your senators at (202) 224-3121 and tell them to vote no on HJ Resolution 140.

If I could whisk you away for a short holiday to experience a place where stars meet water, I would bring you here, the Boundary Waters Canoe Area and Voyageurs National Park.

If this bill passes the Senate tomorrow, it's gone. The bill strips this area of it's protections and makes it so that we cannot reinstate them. Copper nickel mining is one of the most harmful mining imaginable. I urge you to call your US Senator and tell them you want them to vote NO on HJRES 140.

Our state's senators are doing everything they can to stop this and can't do it alone.

Hope you made some art on Rex Manning Day.

Whenever anyone recognizes my work, or me as an artist it really touches me. Last year was a really rough year (3 medical procedures that took a lot out of me, forced me to physically slow down, and I'm still in recovery from) and then this year with everything we have been though, neighbors, friends, city and state, it's been tough. But when someone who only knows me through the services they provide and all the small talk over the years remembered what I do, said they were proud of me for continuing to create, for a moment, it wiped all the other feelings of not being/doing enough away.
