#Trump on Tues again used despicable & #violent language to describe #immigrants & what he called #POTUS #Biden's "#border #bloodbath."

Trump said at a "messaging event" in #GrandRapids, #Michigan, "It's a very bad thing happening. It's going to end on the day that I take office, which will be Jan 20."

He lied about the dangers from , repeating a favorite term of his "Biden migrant crime."

"The actually like Donald , you know why, because I'm the one who's gonna keep them safe ... If you don't want illegal aliens crawling through your windows & ransacking your drawers, then you must vote for .. the fact that we have to throw crooked Joe Biden out of office.”

Yesterday we realized that we had a day free of family obligations, so we took the day to wander around Grand Rapids, and magically, we happened upon the Meyer May House, built by Frank Lloyd Wright, right when they were starting a private tour, and we got invited to come along!

Wright's attention to detail creates a sense of serenity. Just being in that house put me at ease.



View from the dining room toward the staircase (or "transition space" as Wright referred to it). A corner of the dining room table with built in lamp and plant stand are visible. Wood paneling predominates in this picture.
Windows looking out from the living room. One of the windows is stained glass with a very simple chevron pattern at the top.
Detail of living room rug, designed by Wright. The background color is a warm tan, and there is a chevron pattern echoing the pattern of the stain glass in aqua and darker brown.

@jonobie Found out yesterday that Wright actually designed his houses based on the height of the humans who would be occupying the house! Mr. May was 5'5" so you can imagine how short the ceilings were! But somehow - it felt spacious, too. And yes - I've heard stories about and from his students. Seems like there was definitely a narcissistic edge to Wright.

Got a friend looking to move to West Michigan and is in need of a network engineer position in or around Kalamazoo to Grand Rapids.
If you have any leads, let me know.

@notsle Let me know how they succeed. I was born and raised in GR, live in Kzoo, graduated HS from Northview and college from Western with over a decade of IT networking experience and I still haven't pulled it off.

cutitdown,

@root Oh, I see how it is, you creating this magazine when I was just about to.

Haha, but seriously, I'm digging into CSS customization, etc on kbin and I'd be happy to contribute to this magazine if you want any help! I've only got kbin.social/m/arcbrowser so far but it's coming along.

Let me take some time to share a little about myself. That’s right, it’s time. By day, I’m in senior leadership of a based 3PL, love the logistics industry! I typically use these type of platforms as an escape and share my hobbies: (mine is in my bio), and . I’m also a father to a 5 year old, so there will be some family talk and venting too! Looking forward to the fucture connections.

JessiRay,

@heyfluxay nice! It is pilsner season

@JessiRay the high life is my staple around this time, otherwise a random IPA (we have a lot of great choices here in Michigan) until stout season rolls in
