I am NOT affiliated btw, just sharing bc I didn’t see these links on here.

Knowing how little FEMA and other govt sources have done to help tornado survivors in St. Louis, I wondered what fundraising was gonna be out there for this.

Our emergency move a while back landed us in the burbs and the difference in sound levels between here and Hamtramck is wild. Also most people out here seemingly go to bed around the same time.

I miss stepping outside at a random hour and the hubbub letting me know some of my neighbors were up w me

In general it’s such a mess that so many big city midwestern papers have moved their production so far away from their respective cities

I happened to see a meeting of a Jewish org I’m intermittently involved with, and I dropped the rest of the candy cane Oreos on the meeting table and said β€œI didn’t check if they’re kosher!”

The rabbi shouted β€œDON’T CHECK!”

One time I got some Oreos with crushed up candy canes in them on the Christmas clearance shelf at the dollar store. They were so good they were almost too powerful to have in my house.

I took them to work and shared them w work pals who also seemingly could not stop continuously eating them

I used to commute across the lake to my summer job at the country club on a jet ski, one time coming back I flipped it (doing dumb shit trying to look cool), flooded the engine, and had to swim across the lake towing the jet ski in my waitress uniform with a rope.

(My dad wasn't thrilled)

pulled the production file for the 1947 curt teich postcard of louis sullivan’s holy trinity orthodox cathedral and it might be the first i’ve seen where the customer sent the painted mockup back for fixesβ€”teich’s artists got the front door and windows wrong

Israel, with America's blessing, just issued evacuation orders to the entire southern suburbs of Beirut, home to nearly a million people.

At this point, Israel & the US have forcibly displaced at least a million people in Lebanonβ€”i.e., ONE IN SIX. Imagine this in your town.

We cannot accept this.

A dear friend's cat is dealing with anemia and needs blood transfusions, and I am so worried for her, but wanted to pause and remind folks that cats and dogs can be blood donors. If you have a healthy animal between 1-6 years of age, look for a program near you. Save some lives.

When I had lived in Detroit for a little while I thought β€œI should go find the factory my grandpa worked at.”

The day before I planned to go there on purpose, I got lost and stumbled upon it on my own.
