I found out that while I was in the hospital last week, the children’s hospital patients literally the next building over got visited by a speckled miniature horse named, and I’m not kidding, “Freckle Butt Fred.” Never in my life have I felt more bummed to be a grown-up.

That summer I took kids classes on crime scene investigation and creative writing back-to-back apparently ended up being far more formative in my career choice than I was previously aware.

then there's the shmucks like me who only got into journalism because we love writing and were alarmed when we found out we also have to be private detectives

Girl who is out here using kerfluffle?

[APStylebook @APStylebook]

In addition to big changes including healthcare, Stylebook Editor Anna Jo Bratton shared some smaller AP style updates at the ACES conference:
* “Couple of” always means two.
* It's kerfuffle, not kerfluffle.
* RSVP is acceptable in all references.
* Use “petted” not “pet” for past tense.

Bit of Michigan trivia for your post-election Wednesday: Mackinac Island Mayor Margaret Doud was reelected last night for the 51st time. Per @StatistaCharts she surpassed the world’s longest consecutive head of state, Cameroon’s Paul Biya, plus Gaddafi & the former ayatollah.

I am once again asking campaign websites to post their press contact address in a place I can find them.

In honor of campaign finance reports this week: What's your birthday super PAC name?

My job has recently moved into a shared coworking space and they have an espresso machine in the kitchen. The levels of caffeination I am about to reach on the daily are unprecedented. Unfortunately the boss won’t let me expense latte art classes.

Misty Copeland HIGHLY missed out by not referencing any of Edgar Degas’ famous ballerina works

There are two types of journalist
Those who file in the CMS and those who google doc in case CMS crashes.

HUGE NEWS for editors: the AP has changed its style guide. It's now "healthcare" (not "health care") and "childcare" (not "child care") https://t.co/189NypUkyo

Do you need a fishing license if you catch the fish with your bare hands in the middle of the street? 😁

[WXYZ Detroit @wxyzdetroit]

14-year-old Gavin Bruney of Petoskey was able to get his first catch of the season in a flooded roadway when he grabbed a pike with his bare hands!

[Kristin Merrilees @kristnmerrilees]

whenever you tell someone at a party you’re a journalist and they clamor to clarify that they’re “off the record” it’s like. you just told me a story about your cat throwing up after eating funfetti cake batter. should we call the new york times? should we invite bella hadid ?

You think you're having a rough day? It's probably not as bad as the one the driver of this sedan is having. #miwx

@Sumseason I love Cumin Fresh Indian Kitchen in Grand Haven. It's the best Indian food in West Michigan, by a mile.

Definitely experiencing strobe lightning here in eastern Ottawa County too.

Strobe lightning lit up the sky above the S.S. Silversides in Muskegon tonight 🌩️🌩️

This is Sadie. She was finally reunited with her human, astronaut Christina Koch, after her mom’s voyage around the moon took her the furthest any human has ever been from their dog. She can't wait to hear all about the universe. 14/10
