I brought a box of postcards to the office to share with my coworkers for World Postcard Day and was pleasantly surprised at what a hit they were! Gave away more than 100 postcard stamps and at least a 3-4” stack of cards. Keeping the USPS going a little longer.
The postcards I sent my nieces and nephews. Some are made from mailers, some are purchased postcards. A box of postcards and papers for letters, plus a few stickers and stamps.

I feel your pain. They've been working in the Westside near my house the whole year (the beeps start by 7 a.m., the yelling and clanging sometimes before that) and I think my house has been through the equivalent of 300 earthquakes. I used to love the neighborhood and now I'm on Zillow every day.

Ha! It looks like an abomination but it’s really just a very midwestern take on taco salad.

Lansing’s getting all festive.
Three large stacked orange jack o’lantern ornaments in the middle of a downtown roundabout with Michigan’s state capitol in the distance and tall buildings on either side of the street.

Relatable! I have about 45 projects going at any given moment because I don’t want to finish what I started! I’m just as bad with books.

Thank you! We had a local florist who used to hold workshops and I really miss them. I think I’m going to play more with incorporating herbs next year—they smell really wonderful.

Playing with flowers more than usual lately. 🌱
A small bouquet of herbs and flowers from my garden tucked in a Mason jar. It tipped over during my drive to work and soaked the ribbon, but it still looked ok. A tall bouquet of flowers from my yard, photographed in front of a green curtain and a bookcase. One of the dozens of bouquets my coworker and I made with mostly Costco bulk flowers and a few from my yard for our company picnic. A fall bouquet of mostly Costco flowers and a few from my yard.

The westbound I69 business loop exit ramp off 69 has other flowers mixed in with the sunflowers--maybe cosmos? It's so pretty!

Last year you introduced me to menopausal werewolves, now you’ve hooked me with the concept of utopia & rage. Thanks for the tips!

I missed David Bowie because I was hanging out backstage with the guitarist from Prick, getting stood up for an interview with the singer from Prick.

I saw it just because there is a Bloodywood song in the soundtrack. It’s a rough watch, but Dev Patel is amazing.

Lansing/East Lansing delicacy. 🍜
A topopo salad at El Azteco. Giant heaping plate of chips, guac, chicken, lettuce, tomatoes, green onions, refried beans, cheese, peas, and probably more stuff I’m forgetting. It’s enough for about 5 meals. Water, salsa, and a margarita are in the background.

BAT!
A brown bat sleeping next to a window on a brick building. I’ve named it Laszlo. There are two more a bit farther away, but my phone is too old to render more than brown blobs.

Numerous studies, including from the FBI itself, show that invasive mass surveillance tech like Flock and Axon's automatic license plate readers don't help police fight crime. Surveillance is not safety.

Flock Surveillance Cameras Are Actually Horrible for Fighting Crime, FBI Data Shows
New FBI data shows case closure rates for the Atlanta Police Department have not improved despite thousands of ALPRs installed since 2021.

It was a really good year for thyme! I'm going to freeze a bunch in olive oil next.

Made this season’s first batch of lemon thyme salt. 🌱🍜
A tray of lemon zest, thyme leaves, and salt, set out to dry. A bunch of drying thyme, fresh cut thyme in a colander, lemons, salt, and a small food processor.

Please do! I send a truly embarrassing number of letters to Slotkin, Peters and Barrett, but rarely bother with local stuff because I’ve been assuming it’s fine.

This certainly isn’t providing any evidence. Wanting a “collaborative ordinance” with a company that watches where I go every day doesn’t sound promising.

I’m embarrassed that I don’t know anyone on the council these days and I made incorrect assumptions about how they would approach govt. surveillance in a very blue area. Shame on me.

I think it’s still up to @andyschor.bsky.social and the police department to do something about it, but the resolution is encouraging! It’s awful that the cameras were ever put in place.

And of course my city council rep, @peterspadafore.com, is the only one who supported keeping Flock cameras in Lansing.

Brought some herbs inside to dry and made a couple little spidey friends along the way. 🌱

Downtown Flint has been my go-to since I was a kid, but this week’s was disappointing. Hopefully it was just a bad day!
