HELLO I WAS A QUEER TEEN IN THE 1990s AND THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST SOCIAL TRANSITION NOW ARE INDISTINGUISHABLE FROM THE ARGUMENTS AGAINST "LETTING" US BE (at the time, for me) GAY OR LESBIAN THEN.

They all rest on the belief that it's inherently better to be straight (then)/cis (now) and that's BS.

You know it's a school holiday when the very full children's museum has a whole army of dads awkwardly standing around holding tiny, fancy purses.

Is it weird having a chest freezer in what is TECHNICALLY our living room? Yes. But it's super worth it.

Getting literally the smallest possible chest freezer we could find and developing a system for modular, low effort frozen meals via strategic bulk purchasing has saved us thousands of dollars, but first we had to have money for a Costco membership and a freezer.

This is your regular reminder that the idea that Christianity is a thing uniform beliefs that everyone within β€œWestern Civilization” believed and agreed on is a fiction that just ignores centuries of Christians killing each other and fighting literal wars over their different beliefs.

many undocumented people did come to the US legally and then their status lapsed for whatever reason. Struggling with administrative burdens is common. If you forget to do your car registration should you be sent out of state and imprisoned in deplorable conditions ?! Be reasonable here.

I've literally never watched an issue unify Michiganders across the political spectrum like this and it's pure stupidity to not capitalize on that unless you're up to your elbows in tech money and would rather get paid than win.

The fact that not one gubernatorial candidate in MI has the sense to oppose data centers shows how wildly every one of them, center, right, and coo coo banana pants fashy right, are misreading where normal Michiganders stand on them.

I grew up always knowing what my name would have been if I'd been assigned male at birth. When I came out trans I didn't pick that name to go by, to my mother's chagrin. (I did let her help with my middle name)

it takes a real management genius to cut both your sports and culture teams a few days before a sporting event hosting the biggest cultural moment in recent history

It's usually folks from North Detroit (the white flight exurbs) who do that, which just makes it that much funnier.

"South Detroit" isn't really a thing, but if it were, it'd be where Windsor is.

I don't think people who don't really know Detroit understand how intensely it is a Border Townβ„’.

The Detroit Marathon literally takes you across the river into Windsor and back.

Should you get snatched out of your home on April 21st because you didn’t file your taxes on time? The government is focused on immigrants now but if you set the precedent that people should get kidnapped over paperwork there’s a whole lot of people who can get taken next

Essay: Bad Bunny's Super Bowl halftime show will be a history lesson for the ages Historian Jorell A. MelΓ©ndez-Badillo hopes Bad Bunny's halftime show will combat "acute ignorance" about Puerto Rico and its ongoing entanglement with the United States.

Some more about the collaboration

Pop star Bad Bunny needed a Puerto Rican history scholar. UW–Madison had just the one. Bad Bunny collaborated with UW–Madison history professor Jorell MelΓ©ndez-Badillo on Puerto Rican narratives that accompany the new album β€œDeBÍ TiRAR MΓ‘S FOToS.”

Not at all surprised to learn that Bad Bunny has a historical adviser. His halftime show was a reminder that our history and culture are deeply intertwined with the rest of the western hemisphere. We should think of his performance as part of #America250. #SuperBowl

Bad Bunny’s performance began in the plantation, featured broken electric poles, and ended by centering a hemispheric understanding of β€œAmΓ©rica”—among many other thingsβ€”and some Anglo journalists are like β€œhis performance wasn’t political.”

This is why we need to be telling our stories.

This morning on the way to church, a Subaru was behind me and I thought, "Gee, wouldn't it be funny if that was one of my parishioners?"

Y'all. It was.
