Unfortunately, what you're seeing today is not fog surrounding the @mackinacbridge but smoke coming from the wildfires and our neighbors to the North.

The Michigan Press Association awarded me 2nd Place for Journalist of the Year this year for my coverage of deadly domestic violence trends in Michigan I’m only here because other women had the courage to tell their stories and be vulnerable about where they’ve been and where they’re going And because I had the most courageous and generous woman step up in my life, my grandmother Everything I’ve ever done was to make her proud and the only thing that could make this moment better is if she was here to see it Love got us here

As Planned Parenthood announces it's closing its health center in Marquette, I want to remind you all that the Upper Peninsula is an abortion desert. michiganadvance.com/2022/01/30/abo…

I submitted my first Freedom of Information Act request to the City of Detroit on Jan. 8. Nearly 3 months later, I have still not received any response. This is typical of most FOIA requests I file and it has honestly had a chilling effect on my filing for public documents.

Having a hard time getting through Chapter 3 of Sen. McMorrow’s book. It’s a time in my life that still shakes me to my core. But to have another woman so unabashedly defend you, put herself in the line of fire with you — i’ll never be thankful enough for that.

The closest I ever came to this, while reporting on the development of a planned GR skyscraper — that came out much shorter than planned — I went to a totally administrative meeting that wasn’t supposed to be public. The city planning commissioner at the time was furious with me

Sources, if you want to accidentally add me to your group chats where you discuss highly sensitive information, I won't be mad about it theatlantic.com/politics/archi…

One thing about me, I can sit and disassociate for a couple hours. Modeled for the first time for an oil painting class today at Ghosthouse Fine Arts Studio in Grand Rapids. Definitely worth taking a class if you’re local!

Despite being credentialed and arriving hours before the start time, police are telling members of the media they are not allowed in the venue where VP JD Vance is scheduled to speak in Bay City later this afternoon.

Like how am I supposed to doomscroll after an evening like that? from where I stand, in my little neighborhood with my little hyperlocal bifocals on, democracy is healthy and my civics are engaged!

I’m always so happy after Rapidian Writers’ Rooms! You’re telling me 8-12 people just sat in a room with me and talked about journalism and local civic issues for an hour and a half?? And we laugh and ask good questions and get to know each other?

The Grand Rapids Police Department is apparently the focus of a Cops-style documentary airing on HBO Max on April 8. It’s being released two weeks before the trial for Christopher Schurr — a former GRPD officer who fatally shot Patrick Lyoya — is scheduled to start.

I guess now’s as good a time as any to pitch the Rapidian Writers’ Rooms, a monthly space for citizen journalists in GR to hone in on their craft, get to know other nosy people in town and reclaim our local news ecosystem. Link to rsvp in the replies!

Just spent 15 minutes in Canva turning drumsticks into pencils for tomorrow’s Rapidian Writers’ Room on How to Find Your Beat. Journalist? Yes. Teacher? Sure. But above all, a designer and an artíst.
