Nation-wide, but here are the details for the Detroit event www.falloffreedom.com

On the flip side, I've yet to travel to anywhere else that feels more like home than New Orleans.

Oh wow, the Belle Isle Zoo is coming down starting tomorrow Fond memories... but it's been sitting abandoned long enough

Oh no! I just learned People's Restaurant Equipment Co is going out of business. GOOD time to drop in and stock up your kitchen accessories 2209 Gratiot Ave, Detroit, MI 48207

"...it's hard to justify a bridge by the number of people swimming across a river." - Brent Toderian Really liked this quote and I can imagine it being useful going forward, so I'm posting it for posterity

It was only supposed to be a 20min drive from my favorite pizza place in northern Michigan to a family cabin. GPS instead took me down an ATV trail through a State forest, where I subsequently got a flat tire on the 1 day I neglected to bring my tire change tools.

I feel seen

My girlfriend's church organized to help protest ICE recruitment at a job fair in Lansing, happening today. It was called off after ICE backed out

I've seen these ballot initiatives available to be signed at the eastern market. Remember to tell them your county before signing!

SNAP funding is on pause. That means thousands of Detroit families who rely on the food assistance program will face a challenging November. Do you need food resources? Here’s how Detroiters are showing up for each other:

This is a good thing to remind people of when they're nervous about going through the tunnel, "This was completed during the great depression... and it's still mostly water tight. What the worst that could happen?" Happy 95th birthday, tunnel!

So the City of Detroit police budget is going to get smaller... right?

There's really nothing about my State that I love more than the water surrounding it, seconded by the waterways within it

Not happy to see Detroit police aiding ICE deportations

If you design streets for cars, all you benefit is cars. If you design for people, you benefit people.

What a nice night in Windsor! Dinner, and then the Walkerville Night Market. Thanks to @grenadine.bsky.social for sharing the @windsornewstoday.bsky.social post about the market. Perfect timing as i already had the dinner reservations!

Is gardening worth it? Depends on what you value. If it's money, the answer is a hard no. I find it quite rewarding. 🍇🍓🫐🍅🫒🍆🥔🌶🫑🥬🥦🧄🧅🫘🫛🫜

Super excited to have seen Hiromi at the Detroit Jazz Fest. Really a fantastic festival all around. Highly recommend

Maybe the real Ship of Theseus was the Ship of Theseus we made along the way

We have enough trouble with overseas slumlords, but now imagine your rental is owned by thousands of overseas slumlords, each with only fractional interest. The City needs to impound these homes and sell/give them to local families, cheap enough at least that they have money for repairs

This came across my dash via other channels, figured it was worth a share here Free to enter, first taste free, additional taste tickets and more info: www.eventbrite.com/e/collard-gr...

Wild... A sociopath I cut ties with *10 years ago* randomly walked into my backyard yesterday evening to, I don't know, catch up? "You need to leave"

Local guys flipping Comcast the bird. Love to see it!

I've been impressed with Eli Savit for a number of years now

The person in the motorized wheelchair who is confronting agents in Camarillo is quite the sight

It's always a good time to REPAIR your clothes instead of buying new replacements. Take pride in your clothes! Let them tell your story while helping reduce your carbon footprint. (The message would be the same if I didn't happen to co-own a tiny clothing repair business)

With $8 million in legal settlement funding, the Whole Homes, Whole Community initiative will provide free energy audits, home repairs, and eventually solar installations to residents in the 48203 and 48214 ZIP codes.

please sign this if you see it out in public. my short experience with Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) was really great. So nice to vote your conscience then leave the usual political games for further down the rankings

An (unfortunate) warning ahead of the 4th of July. Last year, fireworks and stagnant air led to insanely high levels of particulate matter in Detroit, with gov monitors showing PM 2.5 "beyond the AQI". @planetdetroit.org

Happy Canada Day to our neighbors to the north, east and south! 🇨🇦

The owner of a Detroit car wash who recently died had a helicopter drop thousands of dollars onto pedestrians below as his last wish:

Just got re-outraged at the fact that in 1982, a judge sentenced the murderers of Vincent Chin to probation and a $3,000 fine, saying they “weren’t the kind of men you send to jail.” A new street sign honoring Chin was recently unveiled in Chinatown. outliermedia.org/vincent-chin...

Apparently there’s a little porch music fest in the neighborhood off of Livernois in Ferndale this weekend! We kept passing signs for it and decided to look it up livernoise.com

Re: Kristi Noem coming to Detroit bc she says we are worried about a “weak” border with Canada: No we aren’t. GTFO

Several thousand people have gathered at Clark Park in Detroit for a #NoKings protest Pics from Erick Diaz Veliz

Ferndale, MI #NoKings is going strong with people lined up on both sides of Woodward, as well as in the median, for about a mile Good vibes all around, and positive reactions from cars passing by

I was maybe 15 and in the concession line at a movie theater. I was a quarter short for my Reeses Pieces and turned to the person behind me and asked, "hey, got a quarter?" ... then Steven Tyler's massive bouncer stepped in between us and said "NO." So I only got a frozen coke that day

Nice evening of music showcasing local songwriters and poets (from left to right) Marbrisa, Libby DeCamp, Jassmine Parks, and Audra Kubat. Hosted at Detroit House of Music as part of the Queens of the Stone Age series

To kick off the season, I went for a nice paddle on the Belle Isle interior waterways. We're still in the dangerously cold temperature range, so it's smart to wear a wet suit in case you end up in the water!

Tomorrow: Saturday, May 24th starting at 2pm Come join your local Detroit area open source automation community and share ideas, accomplishments, and even the failures #HADay2025 #homeassistant #opensource #automation

Call just came in on the business line: "How did you hear about us?" "My iPhone" 🤨

My summer activities basically revolve around national parks and Michigan waterways so I'm generally IN A MOOD about all this trash policy

Well this is a wonderful thread

I'm _self-hosting_ a Home Assistant meetup in the Detroit Area. Anyone out there have a suggestion on a venue that could handle anywhere from 2-50 tech-type people on a Saturday afternoon in May? This is open source, so that's reflected in the "budget" #detroit #homeassistant #selfhosted

Happy Earth Day. I learned today that Pet Supplies Plus and Wag N' Wash offers year-round recycling for plastics that generally aren't accepted in City recycling programs. Nice!
