Hey, artists, in case you were wondering if your work matters: I'm a scientist working on climate change and biodiversity, and I would not be who I am today without The Lorax, The Secret of NIMH, Watership Down, The Last Unicorn, and The X-Files. I know I'm not alone. Thank you for all you do.

‘Michigan is strong AND kind.’ Not the word ‘kind’ bringing me to tears 😭 The world could use a lot more of that right now. #MISOTS25

Thanks to one of Gov. Whitmer’s initiatives, I was able to complete my college degree. Forever grateful for leaders who invest in education and opportunity here in Michigan. #MISOTS25

#Designtip for Print Designers: For consistent print results, ensure your CMYK values include black (K). If not, adjust by reducing C, M, and Y slightly and adding to K—this keeps the color similar while improving print consistency. #PrintTips #CMYK

My husband now simply refers to our congressman as "the man I call more than him." Staffers are always friendly and kind. Call them!

As a Michigander, I'm obsessed with all the Michigan references in #Severance! Anyone else catching them?

I'm on a first-name basis with the aides in my R representative's office. They always wish me a nice day and say they look forward to my call again tomorrow. Give them a call--it's simple and only takes a minute.

Spent a few hours chatting with illustrator #JameyChristoph today! Jamey created amazing artwork for our book #UniverseOfRainbows which arrives 4/1/25 from @ebyrbooks.bsky.social. Since we're only an hour from each other we figured it was time we connected! #KidLit www.eerdmans.com/978080285571...

#designtip If you get white hairlines on your PDF, it is not just on your screen—they do sometimes show up in print. To correct it, change your PDF X-1a output settings to Acrobat 5 or above.

People have gathered outside USAID HQ for press event with Democratic Congressmen Beyer, Raskin, Connolly and Olzewski and Senator Van Hollen where they're addressing the building's mysterious shutdown today in the midst of the Trump admin dismantling the agency. (Photos shared with me)

If you’re new here you may have noticed people who have been here for a while repost themselves a lot. That’s because without a centrally governed algorithm the platform is generally much more *here and now* than social media has been historically. Posts have high engagement but short tails.

Who else is spending their Sunday writing emails and leaving messages for their congresspeople? ✋
