Well, that’s a change of pace. Poured some water out of the tap and it’s dusky colored. Ahhh #Kalamazoo with your maybe-potable water supply. They send little trifold reports declaring that the water is certainly safe to drink. So I threw it down the drain and then used bottled water instead, to cook frozen corn. Ah well. It’s cheap and it’s not lost on me, the humor of non-potable tap water in America. Shit changes color, it’s not for internal use, yo. #cooking #filthywater
#Présidentielleaméricaine2024 : dans le #Michigan, les électeurs démocrates tiraillés entre « l’espoir et l’effroi »
#KamalaHarris s’est affichée avec #MichelleObama lors d’un meeting, samedi, dans cet Etat-clé. Les partisans de la candidate démocrate scrutent avec inquiétude les derniers sondages qui la donnent toujours au coude-à-coude avec #DonaldTrump.

#KamalaHarris #Kalamazoo, #Michigan rally speech
After thanking #MichelleObama, Harris launched into her stump speech highlighting her achievements as California’s attorney general.
When some of the crowd chant “lock him up”, she interrupts: “The courts are going to handle that - we’re going to handle November”.
Fmr FLOTUS #MichelleObama is speaking at #KamalaHarris’s rally in #Kalamazoo, #Michigan.
She opened her remarks by invoking the rallying cry she issued at the DNC: “Do Something.” "It's too close for my liking," she said of the race. “I came out here to Michigan because I am someone who takes her own advice to heart. I know that if we want to help this country finally turn the page on the #politics of #hatred & #division. We can’t just sit around & complain. No, we’ve got to: #DoSomething!”

At #work, I have a rather convenient design, a kind of cake and eat it too arrangement. I have #QNAP #NAS servers arrayed across 13 branches of the company, all keeping synchronized data with us in #Kalamazoo. Each of these NAS servers have three #Seagate #IronWolf drives. They were all built together, back in 2019, 2/8/2019 specifically. The first branch has failed, and the replacement drives couldn't make it in time so we lost the whole array. #infotech #entropy

We are taking part in #NoMowMay here in #Kalamazoo. The idea is to let wildflowers and dandelions grow to riot to boost early pollinator health and success. The township won’t police the yards, so, this is what has happened… I’ll mow this in June. Mine is the only yard like this, and I relish my uniqueness! I do it for the pollinators! #today

Kalamazoo McDonald’s Vandalized for Palestine
"Early one December morning in so-called “Kalamazoo, Michigan”, four humans dressed in black crept under the light of golden arches, posters and spray paint in hand. They set out to disrupt people’s genocide-flavored morning coffee.
...
Actions like these can be very simple, cheap, and safe with good planning and research. They scouted the area for cameras and planned a discrete route with minimal exposure. They wore masks and covered faces. They stuck towards the back of the building that wasn’t visible from the road for the majority of the action, and only spent about two minutes in danger of being seen/connected with the posters and paint."
