Did I mention our son graduated High School yesterday? 😄 He will be attending Michigan Tech University in the fall, studying #Mechanical #Engineering.

Did I mention it is an 8 hour drive, one way? 😬
That's 8 hours - one way - AND still staying within the same state. 😭

I have yet to hear a peep about the speech by the unwanted speaker. It got zero press coverage.
After much hunting I’ve found one mention of it on a bird-site account (with 23 followers) claiming an audience of 300. The photo suggests (1) the number is inflated; (2) the back rows may have been occupied by interested observers, not fans.

Good news everyone!

My editor let me do not one, but two more articles following up on the controversy at #MichiganTech that resulted in school administrators forcing students to fund a speaker from #TPUSA last month.

After the initial setback, students managed to throw together an art fair/concert to celebrate diversity in the local community that by every objective metric was a bigger event than the speaker's.

Read all about it in the article below!

Because I don’t quite get how responses/forwarding/tagging works on Mastodon.

I have set up a fundraiser for Earthquake relief so Michigan Tech students far from home can channel their efforts to send help.

Im starting the week recovering from a trip to the #keeweenawpeninsula to meet friends and get outside and into the snow. I got to visit a few places as part of my old #MichiganTech stomping ground including the #KBC and the Ambassador.
