It may be freezing out there, but the Lions were on fire.

Boyteen did the “all the friends are home for the holidays” gathering this afternoon after he & I ran some errands, & then the Hubbs, Girlteen & I just chilled & vegged on this Shortest Day. Watched ✔️Suicide Squad ✔️X-Men Apocalypse ✔️Five Nights at Freddy’s & now SNL. Not a bad day at all.

A post Lame Duck 2024🧵: An open letter to the IrREParable Karen Quitsett (Whitsett): Cue the slow clap. 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 👏🏾 Congratulations on being the individual who (by your dereliction of duty) prevented the people of Michigan from having the following things sooner rather than later: (1/17)

So the official time is about 4 hours from the time of this posting, but Happy Winter Solstice! Welcome Yule! ❄️

Take 2: Thanks to Sen. Jeff Irwin for hearing #MIFLOC in committee today & to colleagues for voting it out to the full chamber. Grateful to #MotheringJustice, @michleague.bsky.social & so many other state & nat’l partners. Let’s finally get Paid Family & Medical Leave in Michigan for Michiganders.

💔 The Earth has lost a light, but the heavens have gained one. Her memory will not just be a blessing, it is one.

If you’re wondering why your kids are placing a white crayon on the window sill, flushing ice cubes down the toilet, & wearing their PJs inside out tonight, it just may be because they are engaging in the ritual of invoking the Snow Day Fairy ❄️🧚‍♂️.

Today, the MI Momnibus package got out of the Senate w/bipartisan support. One step closer to seeing #ReproJustice in Michigan. Grateful to the State of Birth Justice & #mileg partners Sens. @sarahanthony.bsky.social, @stephanielilychang.bsky.social, Mary Cavanagh & Sylvia Santana. #MoveThatMomnibus

I hope everyone celebrating Thanksgiving has had a happy, thoughtful one. I am so grateful for a wonderful family, dear friends, thoughtful colleagues, Trabectedin (IYKYK), & much-needed down time.

Having a new driver has made me a somewhat more patient experienced driver, I think. This has also sprouted some new grey hairs & a couple of minor near heart attacks. But it’s all good; grateful for milestones, especially ones we couldn’t imagine happening a few years ago.
