Happy 325th birthday, Detroit!

ABDUL FOR SENATE!

Wild to see all the notifications on my phone, computer, and even signs on the freeway today saying that the air quality is hazardous. Yeah, I know, I have lungs.

Detroiters, contact your Council rep!

Neighbors shouting (but not in a bad way) from their own front porches, one says, “There’s a whole B in LGBT mother[redacted]” followed by lots of laughter. Wonder what else I missed?

Hmm... I just noticed while attending to my blog that I never posted "Iona" there. I post poems of mine that were published elsewhere (after giving it a bit of time, and including the link if it's published online) but this one was published Dec. 2024. eebelz.com/2026/05/07/i...

Help, I can't stop watching this

Playlist so far: -Katie Else -Derrick May -Durutti Column Excellent groove for doing bookkeeping. Although one's a bit of an outlier.

On behalf of Detroit, I'd like to point out that Kid Rock is actually from Romeo.

FINALLY made a doctor's appointment for my joint pain. Anyone else around here walk around in pain and forget to do anything about it? Even though you're always aware of it on some level? I often forget to take something for a bad headache.
