With the anticipated dangerously cold weather coming next week, with some days reaching negative temperatures, @neighborgrocery 🏬 will be extending the hours of our warming center. From Tuesday to Saturday, we will now close the warming center at 7 PM, instead of our usual 5 PM
Don't sleep! 💛📰
Beyond my stories, I've been blown away by what @DetDocumenters uncovered in public meetings, I've loved assisting Detroiters via text + have been inspired by my colleagues' work. Don't sleep on Outlier Media. You can follow them on Bluesky here: bsky.app/profile/mediaoutlie…🧵8/8

I'm not even bout to wait to drop these flyers cuz I'm excited! You know I love orientation, and it's only 4x a year! This is such a great time to rock with @DetDocumenters! Find out why at our community of practice on the 30th. Get trained to take paid assignments on Feb. 6. 💛
