Southside Battletrain exemplifies May Day joy, south Minneapolis and the absurd
I love these guys. They seem to have a lot of fun crafting their machines. We used to catch them at the Maker Faires they used to hold at the state fairgrounds.
Nice to see them still doing the work.
It’s happening here: when book bans hit home
Never…EVER…side with the book burners and banners and censors. They do not have your best interests at heart and are using group ignorance to lie, steal, and eventually kill you. And there are here in Minnesota as well.

An older story about something I have posted on before but still a great thing to see.
Show and tell: New interactive tour aims to raise Dakota visibility in Minneapolis
