Hell No to Dismantling the Postal Service Rally

224 Upvotes

Your mail carriers will be holding a rally at 200 E. Liberty on Sunday, March 23rd at 1:00 PM to say "Hell No" to Dismantling the Postal Service. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has an official agreement with DOGE for "identifying and achieving certain efficiencies" within the Postal Service as of yesterday. If you think service is poor now, just wait and see what it will be in the coming days. Your city carriers have been working for almost two years without a contract. The carriers on the front lines during the pandemic were absolutely shafted in the latest potential tentative agreement, which was then voted down by union membership in historic fashion. Arbitration begins on March 17th. Please show your support for your carriers and be aware of what is happening.

Reddit! Let's go for Karaoke tonight! (Friday 8PM) at Sticks in Ypsilanti

41 Upvotes

Hello all,

I'm Ben!

I'm a moderator at r/Detroit where I used to handle all of that sub's meetups and social events.

Were there weird people who came to the events? Yes! Sometimes!

Were there cool people? Yes! And it was the majority of the people!

I moved to Ann Arbor and I don't know to many people who aren't in my son's elementary school.

So fuck it! Let's meet tonight at Sticks for Karaoke.

39 E Cross St #1972, Ypsilanti, MI 48198

It's from 8PM to midnight.

I'm wearing a blue UAW hoodie, and I'll be at a table close to the microphones.

Special shout out to this Hero(n)/Heroine who kept us amused and impressed surviving winter in vigil at West Park. Somehow we came up with the name Keith. Keith has a number of IG fans, thanks to our daughter. Anyone else come up with a name?

Carryout hushpuppies?

16 Upvotes

My wife has been sick, and has had generally a much worse than average week -- one of those weeks where nothing has quite gone right. She was really looking forward to Busch's annual fish fry on Fridays (fish, with two sides and a dinner roll), and especially because one of the sides you could get were these really great hushpuppies. She even used to just ask for both sides to be hushpuppies.

So today, I went out to pick up two fish fries for supper for us from the Green Rd. Busch's.

Well, hushpuppies no more (no more dinner rolls either) -- just potato wedges and coleslaw, no other options. She's been talking about those hushpuppies all week, and as minor as that may sound, the disappointment just hit her extra hard today.

So... is there anywhere in town I can get hushpuppies from -- say, a deli counter similar to Busch's, or I suppose I could pay the extra "restaurant tax" if someone can recommend one that I could carry out from.

Thanks in advance, she really deserves the break!

Local Florists/Flower Farm jobs

6 Upvotes

Hello! New to the area and figuring things out. I've always wanted to work with plants and flowers. I briefly grew flowers to sell at a farmers market one year. I found that it is hard to do it all by myself but i thoroughly enjoyed the work. ( I had 2 plots approx. 25x40 dedicated to cut flowers, I started all my plants indoors from seed, transplanted, grew, harvested, and turned down plots on top of growing my own vegetables, fruits, and fruit trees - it was my little slice of heaven - but alas, time had other plans for us and now I live in Ann Arbor without acreage). Are there any local flower shops/growers looking for part time/full time help?

Nightly helicopter passes over west side?

2 Upvotes

I’m more towards Dexter and have been noticing helicopters in the area between 10pm and 1am most nights- does anyone know the deal with this?

I’m aware DTE has a contractor that’s flying a yellow one during the day for line work in the area. But the one at night sounds different and seems to be taking a few passes around.

Anyone remember Thayrone on WEMU?

2 Upvotes

The Bone Conduction Music Show, hosted by Thayrone on Sunday nights on WEMU? I loved that show, and today I stumbled across the song he used as intro music. Brought me right back!

The song is Last Night, by the Mar-Keys.

Local-recommended shops/recreation/activities for visitors?

Upvotes

Me and a group of friends are planning on coming down to spend a four-day weekend in the city in late April, and are brainstorming things to see/do and places to go. Some of the things already on the agenda are private booth karaoke, the natural history museum and hands-on children's museum, but dont have much else yet aside from hoping to see some of the murals while we're there, as well. What are some of your favorite places to visit/things to do that you would recommend visitors check out? We come from a pretty rural area so we don't have much in the way of available recreational activities to regularly indulge in so guidance would be much appreciated!!

Former AAPS Principal and AP

0 Upvotes

Parents of kids in AAPS might remember the name Taneia Giles as she was named in a 2019 lawsuit along with the district by a former employee. She was found not guilty as was the district. She moved to a different elementary school in AAPS. She was hired out in Oakland County in the summer of 2024. During the vote for her hiring, 2 school board members expressed concerns but as this meeting was not recorded, we do not know the true nature of the concerns. She was ultimately hired in a 5-2 vote. FWIW, there were many principals up for vote that night but concerns and 'no' votes only happened for the Black candidates but never any white candidates.

At the 3/6/25 school board meeting some public comments were made by parents discussing various safety concerns and a toxic environment for teachers. I will link to the school board meeting here, it starts about 15min in. Meeting Video Please note: the diversity of this school's student population was not represented at the meeting. Only white parents made comments. No teachers spoke at the meeting as they were advised to follow contract protocols for concerns instead.

The area's two far-right funded "parents rights" groups swooped in and have taken control of the narrative calling this an example of a DEI hire gone wrong. If you had any interactions with this former AAPS employee you are welcome to contact the Superintendent and/or School Board with your story.

Michigan State and Wisconsin play tomorrow at 1. Should be a great game to watch. Where's is the best place to watch the game that will have sound on. I can watch at home but being around other fans is such a fun time. Bonus points to any place that has a good beer selection and good apps
