@soonastudios CEO @lizgiorgi says the Silicon Valley Bank collapse story isn't as simple as tech bros losing money. SVB bet on women and BIPOC founders when traditional banks wouldn't. And w/fewer options, they stayed put while others ran. mprnews.org/story/2023/03/14…
“We talk a lot in society about self-care, and so much of that got put back on the frontline workers, like, ‘Make sure you're taking care of yourself while you take of care everybody else.’ I think we have to find a way to take care of the caregivers.” mprnews.org/story/2023/03/13…

The pandemic brought Americans outdoors in a big way. Remember sold-out bikes and snowshoes? Patios in the dead of winter? What Duluth nature photographer and author @EdmondsonDudley remembers most from those days is who was getting outside.

There was video and a worldwide reckoning. Many thought convicting the officers who killed George Floyd was an open and shut case. But Nekima Levy Armstrong "knew in my spirit that it just wasn't that simple, that we had to roll up our sleeves and push for the changes we wanted.”

As the pandemic tested @MayoClinic staff in Rochester, so too did it test the 163-year-old church where many worship. Calvary Episcopal had to go online. But the technical change gave way to a more philosophical one -- permission to let go of the past. mprnews.org/story/2023/01/17…

Many say Pope Benedict XVI mishandled the sexual abuse scandal. But John Thavis, who was the CNS Rome bureau chief during Benedict’s papacy, says his record is more nuanced. And he says it was music that could stir the stubbornly straight-faced pontiff. mprnews.org/story/2023/01/05…

During a '74 shootout of an SLA safe house, many wondered whether Patty Hearst was inside. In St. Peter MN, a pastor and his wife wondered whether their daughter was inside. Hearst was not; Camilla Hall was. What led her there is the subject of a new book. mprnews.org/story/2022/12/13…
