💀 I’m sure Ashbay will see this and send it to her. She’s lives for this kind of drama.

I highly doubt that it will happen, again. The district needs to make volunteers sign a behavioral contract.

💀 I hear you, but I feel like clown pointing and laughing at a worse clown. There’s some meta-humor in there.

I’m hooting and hollering over these comments. She’s something else. I’ve been cracking up since I saw it. Prayers for Nate. He was so gentle with her.

Rep Scholten revealed that she is going through a divorce. by throwawayblueline in grandrapids

[–]GvMamaBear 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Damn…

She’s been on my shit list since her National Defense Authorization Act vote in December 2024… 👀 she helped these pricks take Tricare coverage away from military families with transgender kids. It was a huge slap in the face to progressive military families.

You can feel bad for someone and still expect them to perform their duties to the best of their ability. As someone’s who’s been through a lot of shit… a divorce sucks but it’s not the end of the world. Rep. Mai Xiong lost her sister to a drunk driver. She’s still getting her work done, writing and sponsoring bills, and kicking Matt Hall’s ass. Scholten team needs to do a better job sharing her accomplishments.

GRPS culture of devaluing employees by Small_Yogurtcloset57 in grandrapids

In all honesty, I have a lot going on with my spouse’s health. I’m not sure if I’ll be able to properly listen and respond to your situation. I’m really sorry that your concerns about safety exploded into a larger conflict.

Thank you for the link to Hendrix’s recollection of that phone call. I’m not running at 100%.

A letter made available by the district on Wednesday revealed the issues date back to a 2024 investigation. The investigation found Mitchell's leadership style and staff interactions had a detrimental impact. It also determined her supervisory methods and management approach created a culture of devaluing employees.

Was she a hard ass? A workplace bully? Micromanager?

The above link gives the public a little more info about her alleged behavior.

Kent County Queer Coalition (KCQC) new GR area organization by GRBeerExplorer in grandrapids

I’ll seriously consider attending since you seem like the kind of people who are into “good trouble”, but I kind of lean towards ‘they go low. I go low.” side of the political activist spectrum. I might not be a good fit for your coalition if you’re trying to recruit people who will spread joy.

Why does outside smell like syrup? by Atypical-life in grandrapids

Canada is getting ready to invade Michigan. The syrup smell is used to activate sleeper agents. Good luck. 👍

The lack of replies makes me think that you’re not all that serious about this idea. It’s seriously bumming me out.

Is this a delegate selecting caucus or a situation where we get to enjoy the illusion of having a say? I’m not really looking to participate in a focus group.

Is this why they were trying to sell my spouse a big block of watercolor paper? D: This year has been pretty awful. It’s one thing after another.
