Hey Midbesties,

It's our third week on the Internet and here are two things that I've learned so far.

First, I adore our readers (i.e. YOU) for being as excited about things as we are. Especially cheese and badass women.

Second, I live for getting email about good things (like a new Milwaukee electronic band or a lady that makes handwoven tapestries in St. Paul — more on that soon!). If you are jazzed about anything that you think we should cover or if you'd like us to investigate a Midwestern mystery for you, let's hear it. I'm so easy to find. 

Now, get hungry. It's time for Linkables.

Annie

 

In case this is your first time joining us, Linkables is a regular Friday round-up featuring several rad links that made us click this week. Like Lunchables — conveniently pre-packaged and bite-sized, but unquestionably more nutritious.

Happy (Fish) Fry Day.

A little guide for the iPhoneographers out there.

Clogs.

Just ordered this kit. Will drink it all and then report back while still tipsy.

In case you're spending your weekend with the most significant other, Netflix.

Everything you ever wanted to know about Michigan tart cherries.

We're following along with these MN road trips. (Where should we take our next road trip, BTW?)

Chicago girl grime pop. Worth a listen.

Inspired by our latest DJ crush (our own Alexandra!), The Midwestival HQ is getting a new record player.
 

If you have have any new nuggets of knowledge or Instacrushes to share with us, please give us a shout in the comments, at @themidwestival or #themidwestival or basically anywhere you want!

Snow way out. ⛄️ #themidwestival (via @johnhillphotos)
In the woods, learning about Hmong food with Yia Vang (@union_kitchenmn) at @chefcamp. It's been a fantastic Saturday, to say the absolute least. #themidwestival (via me, @worthypause)
Some people have reached out wondering why @themidwestival has been so much quieter since last fall, and I thought it was time to come clean. It's some of the usual things getting in the way like life/work/other projects (like @worthypause). But the reality is that I found it much harder to champion the Midwest after its electoral votes handed the presidency to a dangerous conspiracy theorist, paranoid narcissist, admitted sexual predator and all-around joke of a human being. Except this joke isn't funny. Instead it's escalating global conflicts via Twitter, defending Nazi terrorists, quietly dismantling the EPA and employing white supremacists. I'm (clearly) having trouble finding many positive words (or words at all) to share on our blog or here lately, so here we are. That said, if you want to share something real and important on @themidwestival beyond only what's pretty or positive or punny, DM me with your stories, essays, personal experiences in this fucked up world. Let's give some of these photos more weight. #themidwestival (via me, @anniedsouz/@worthypause)
