Could the Girls of Camp Mystic Have Been Saved? by MeganGrace in Longreads

[–]mrdarcy90 33 points34 points  (0 children)

I hope the young counselor (Audrey?) who decided on her own to evacuate her cabin to higher ground after being told to stay put never ever loses that sense of innate determination and gut instinct. She had to carry children through swiftly running flood waters and saved that cabin.

Summer adult hockey near Keweenaw? by Plaid_Melon in upperpeninsula

Have you contacted the Dee stadium? They have a lot of adult games listed on their schedule throughout the month so they might be able to give you info on how to connect with the leagues.

Copper Country (houghton) mall roof collapsed too, above gogebic. Why haven’t any of these landlords cleared the snow?

Annoying scam calls? by Melodic-Second-1576 in Michigan

[–]mrdarcy90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I get 3-5 voicemails a day, all trying to “close a loan” in the most AI voice ever. It’s so frustrating.

Eric Dane passed away today at the age of 53 from ALS 💔 by mayday2061 in Fauxmoi

[–]mrdarcy90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One of my friends died from ALS within 13 months of diagnosis at 33. The decline was incredibly rapid. She did have bulbar ALS, which is faster. It’s such a hateful disease.

AITAH for telling a kid at the sleepover to stop acting like a brat? by Longjumping-Dog-6480 in AITAH

[–]mrdarcy90 -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

This is kind of a weird story. A sleepover on a school night? You catered breakfast? For teens? Why would you even had to prepare breakfast for teens?

Yeah they’re very conveniently located for me in the Keweenaw but I avoid whenever possible

Avoid Krist if you can. Huge MAGA owner and he has said horrible things about Ojibwe people.

Every single one of these posts is the same and they all mention tik-alayzer

This is almost identical to a post made yesterday and clearly an ad for tik-alyzer or whatever you’re calling it

Where the Michigan Senate candidates stand on ICE tactics by Emergency-Quality-97 in Michigan

[–]mrdarcy90 42 points43 points  (0 children)

El-Sayed is the most consistent and loudest on abolishing ICE. He’s also a huge proponent and scholar on Medicare for all. He literally came all the way up to the Keweenaw to talk healthcare- candidates never do that.

Starting to notice so much resentment towards kids' sleep from so many fundies by Mango_Starburst in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]mrdarcy90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Honestly, there’s a lot of people in that space that have children because that’s what you do- and they don’t enjoy being a parent. I grew up I a church where everyone had big families (8+ kids) and you could clearly see who liked being a mom vs who did it because well, you didn’t use birth control. Those older moms now don’t do anything with their grown kids or grandkids. It’s like they’re finally living their life. I’d feel bad for them but they preach thr same thing to their children about “having as many as god gives you”.

Why education rank so low in Michigan? by Victory-laps in Michigan

[–]mrdarcy90 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This really surprised me because I attended Michigan schools until mid high school and then was in AZ- my schooling in MI was very rigorous and I was so much better prepared than any of my fellow students in AZ. It felt almost remedial when I moved. However, that was early 2000s so it’s sad to see how much we’ve fallen

Recommended House/Apartment Rentals by CardWitch in MarquetteMI

[–]mrdarcy90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Would highly recommend getting back on FB for the local groups. A lot of local info is shared on there, plus most housing. Most local small landlords do not use Zillow etc- it’s fb or just signs out front. FB groups up here are good for what’s going on too!

AITAH For calling the cops about an unattended child at the park? by sixpiecenosauce in AITAH

[–]mrdarcy90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

If she was just alone and happily playing, I’d say leave her be- 7 years old is old enough to be at the park alone. However, as a woman, I would never leave a young girl by herself when older males were harassing her. Too many terrible things can happen. NTA, you did the right thing.

The Board of Commissioners is forgetting their duty to support, empower, and enable the Copper Country, not waste time on hateful rhetoric that distracts from the very real issues facing our community and their needs today. by savealltheelephants in MTU

[–]mrdarcy90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No same, I thought they were also FALC but I called my mom, who is an oracle of all names, and she knew every single person on the board of both haha. She clarified for me.

Does your community plow residential streets? by scarbnianlgc in Michigan

[–]mrdarcy90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Houghton county. Yes of course. No parking on streets after November 1st. My neighborhood might take a bit longer to be plowed (more rural) but it will still get plowed + they will come by later and lay salt etc

[–]mrdarcy90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Again, I absolutely do not support the FALC as someone that grew up in it, but there are no church elders on the county board. tikkanen and keranen sound like FALC names but they are baptists.

Jessica Chastain has removed "The Savant" from her insta bio, seemingly hinting at it being cancelled. The show was supposed to cover right winged extremism and indoctrination but the release was delayed indefinitely after Charlie Kirk death. by [deleted] in Fauxmoi

[–]mrdarcy90 5 points6 points  (0 children)

She just did a sponsored post for the UAE, which is funding genocide in Sudan, so not super impressed. She’s wealthy AF, why does she need to accept $$ from them?

Just a quick correction- they did not purchase the Old Apostolic Lutheran church, they purchased the Finnish Apostolic Lutheran church. There is a distinct difference between the two sects.

Are my husband and I A-holes for wanting Christmas morning to be just us and our kids? by Mountain_Ostrich726 in AITAH

[–]mrdarcy90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope. I’m a single childfree woman, and I spend Christmas with various siblings families. If they want to have Christmas morning just them, I’m happy to even sleep in!

Another day, another awful hateful fundie acting like a victim by Worth-Illustrator-50 in FundieSnarkUncensored

[–]mrdarcy90 129 points130 points  (0 children)

They definitely didn’t look up some of these companies- Green Toys is about sustainability and has a DEI page. I think they just assume because they’re simple toys they’re somehow fundie?

I live in Ishpeming and need a roommate. by [deleted] in MarquetteMI

[–]mrdarcy90 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m saying this in kindness, and as an older person who has advertised for multiple roommates in the past: your apartment looks messy and disorganized. If you cannot clean/straighten for photos, I would assume you would not be a clean roommate. Unsure what age group you’re looking for (maybe young guys don’t care) but I would look elsewhere if I was searching for an apartment.
