This local Wolfdog joined an Olympic ski event and triggered the finish-line camera. This is Nazgul. He snuck into a cross-country skiing sprint this morning and raced the homestretch with some competitors before being escorted home. 14/10 someone get him a medal

Thank you 😄

Thank you! Will do. 😊

The one that got away. 😂

What in the Gestapo is going on in Grand Rapids?

Watch this activist get arrested *mid-interview* for speaking out against U.S. action in Venezuela.

What a difference six months makes

Beautiful alt text. ❤️

Transplanted one of the final bits left of a once glorious dracena that my father gave me. He passed 15 years ago and this beauty slowly followed suite afterwards. I’m still counting on a resurrection of sorts, or at least a clawing back from the brink.

And now we wait …

Dare I share some terrific news? Our federal #PromiseNeighborhood grant received funding for our fifth year! It’s been a stressful few months living with uncertainty, but we kept the faith. A huge win for the children, youth, and families in Southeast Grand Rapids! grsepn.org

We’ve got a whole village here in East Grand Rapids MI! 😂

Nothing Is Ever Really Lost: Life Lessons from Walt Whitman’s ‘Continuities’ Continuities by Walt Whitman is a quiet manifesto against despair, a reminder that beneath every ending lies a pattern of return, renewal, and secret persistence.

Reading, too, is an act of continuity. A book written years ago becomes fully alive only when your present self meets it on the page. Your current fears and hopes lean over that text and draw something different from it than any other reader will. In that encounter, time bends:..... #booksky #books

Happy #Caturday to all who celebrate 🙂

I have that bowl, that shaker of dill weed, and my name is Mary. 😂

So they are going to affirm climate change is real.

RIP to the great British writer #TomStoppard, who gave us Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead, Brazil, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade, Shakespeare in Love, Arcadia, The Real Thing, Leopoldstadt and one of my favorite movies, Empire of the Sun. A master with words. #Writersky #Screenwriting

Yes, I believe his dad and mine were cousins. A bit of Ebejer trivia. All in Michigan (most in the Detroit area) are descendants of my great-grandparents and their children, the oldest of who emigrated to the US from Malta when they were kids. One or two were born in the US.

First five years were off Plymouth and Telegraph 🙂

I grew up off 9 Mile between Telegraph and Beech.

Guilty 🎯😂

The joy you feel when you *finally* meet your writing collaborators in person at #UCEA after years of meeting regularly virtually! 😄
