Hear hear! I really appreciate your taking the time to talk about Minneapolis in this space. As Cat Valente put it on her newsletter, bizarrely, online attention is particularly powerful right now, because the people in power pay a lot of attention to online spaces.
I miss the pure joy of a snowday unburdened by responsibility, and I don't even have a kid. I find myself on the other side of the looking glass these days, still clearly remembering what it's like to have the joy and wonder and mystery of everything being white, but with my mind firmly on snow shoveling and figuring out available dog walking routes that are not, to our small dog, small mountains. Books like the Dark Is Rising (which, by the way, had a great BBC audio drama version a couple of years back) hit me harder these days, as I realize adults live those books all the time, and mostly just don't notice them beneath the schedules and the worrying and the planning for the next day. Here's to getting back some of what I had as a kid.
