Somewhere between campaigning, council meetings, and neighborhood rat patrols, I guess this was inevitable.
I’ll admit — trading cards might be a way more fun campaign giveaway than yard signs. 😉

I held off a day because I'm honestly overwhelmed by this.
My biggest regret from my time on council is how this was handled, and seeing the building sit idle and deteriorate has been a constant reminder. Kulick is more than a building; it holds history, memory, and community sentiment.

It's been quite some time since we did a #Ferndale rat patrol presentation. I'll be presenting at the Ferndale library Tuesday 9/9 from 6-7:30PM on how to prevent and eliminate rats around your property, and I'd love to see you there! Free rat traps in limited quantities to attendees

I kinda can't believe I'm doing this again. One more round of council if I get my 100+ signatures before Monday.

Being in public service shouldn't mean being the public's punching bag.
This photo was meant to celebrate a small, joyful moment. But the comments — pulled directly from Warren Mayor Lori M. Stone's page — are a reminder of how quickly public officials are dehumanized online. #politics

TL;DR: Oakland County is more than doubling the fees it charges #Ferndale and other cities for property assessments—jumping from $17.98 to $30.86 per parcel. Ferndale’s annual cost will rise by over $100,000, with no added services. Commissioner Charlie Cavell voted no on this increase—thank him.

Based on this outfit I think I've been doing Easter all wrong.

Detroit finally has an ordinance that allows chickens, and Southfield too. Ferndale did it in 2012 and we have been a go-to city to see how to do it well.
It's nice to have beefcake in this article with me, she's a great example of how chickens can live a long life. #chickens

Thanks to my fellow Ferndale council member Rolanda Kelley for arranging a meeting with State Senator Jeremy Moss while we're here at CapCon! Good conversation about the state of statutory revenue sharing funding changes and issues around the current proposals for road funding. #CapCon2025 #michigan

Child: What did you say I looked like in this dress?
Me: A cool girl from the 70's.
Child: What is the 70's?
Me: A time before I was born.
Child: Was I alive then?
Me: ....no.
Child: Oh. That sounds boring.

It makes sense that my first official post on here is about urban rat control.
Relying on rat poison is short-sighted—it harms unintended wildlife & doesn’t address the root problem.
Instead:
✅ Burrow busting w/ CO2
✅ Proper waste management
✅ Safer trapping
