Just visited a super cool metaphysical shop in Madison, Wisconsin. (I think the neighborhood is called Maxwell? Seemed to be between the capitol and the university.) Mimosa Books & Gifts have an online shop and live crystal sales on Zoom: https://linktr.ee/mimosaspirit?utm_source=linktree_profile_share<sid=24a27fe6-1f15-4d90-bf69-1ec84cba0c92

It was nice walking my dog and going to the Farmer's Market this morning without choking on smoke.

We took our dog for a walk. Well, that sucked.

Stand off at the Eagon household. My dog really wants to go outside. I don't want to open the door. She mad.

Figured I would take my dog for a walk since it was past 7 o'clock and must've cooled down by now...

Wow, the jurisdictional transfer of Park Street from the state to the City of Madison is moving forward! This will give the city much more room for creating a safer street (and no more excuses!). https://madison.legistar.com/LegislationDetail.aspx?ID=8124619&GUID=49B3B877-7F47-42B0-BA0B-D33E76519331

Good piece from Josh Olson on the recent debate about the reconstruction of Regent Street and how the approved design is not furthering #VisionZero

I'll post the link to the performance tomorrow once it is posted!
EDIT: Not surpsingly, channel3000 is trash and won't create a preview card. Someone obtained a recording of the 1989 Nirvana show at an old club (that burnt down two decades ago) and is posting it on YT tomorrow.

Feels like bad things are happening between #madisonwi and #milwaukee.

Madison is blessed with many great FLGSs, but most of them are board and trading card game first (got to pay those bills), with TTRPGs being third or fourth in line (Noble Knight is the weird outlier given the giant warehouse and mail order business attached to it). However, Misty Mountain games on the East Side has a super impressive TTRPG selection. Like, I'm talking Pegasus games in the 90s good. If you're in the area, definitely check them out.

Madison has a new bike path, the Tancho Drive Path. It's at the very edge of town and only half a mile long. But it opens up some new low-stress connections. Join https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g-TN7yEEi_g

Let’s consider the future of ancient necropolis #madisonwi and the narratives of the #NativeAmerican tribes that lived near here.
Article about ancient Mississipian civilization in #Spanish :
https://pueblosoriginarios.com/norte/bosques/mississipiana/mississipiana.html““The oral traditions of the tribe, particularly the Thunderbird clan, state that the Ho-Chunk originated at the Red Banks on Green Bay.”” https://www.teachlangwisconsin.com/hochunk

Another step in the direction of bringing passenger rail back to Madison: WisDOT submitting an application for the needed infrastructure upgrades to the Feds. No timeline on when service could start. https://urbanmilwaukee.com/pressrelease/gov-evers-wisdot-announce-new-effort-to-expand-passenger-rail-into-dane-jefferson-and-waukesha-counties/

The bus rapid transit system in #MadisonWI is also using New Flyer Excelsior buses, albeit a different model than NYC. There have definitely been reliability issues, but what the MTA is experiencing sounds worse. https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2026/06/23/power-outage-mta-delays-electric-buses
European transit systems are moving to battery-electric buses at rapid pace, seemingly with much less trouble. But of course they have a whole host of competing manufacturers.

Attention Palladium and Rifts fans in the Madison, Wisconsin area, the east side HPB has over a dozen of their softcovers in good condition and relatively cheap. Somebody sold their entire collection!
Edit to add the actual store!
