Writing about Indianapolis housing and labor at Mirror Indy. I'm also a dad and baseball coach, and I like reading and watching sports.
Went to the strike at Vestis in Indianapolis today. Here’s a temp (“scab” if you prefer) crossing the picket line. More coming later for @mirrorindy.org
Indy residents packed a community center room last night to oppose a rate increase from AES. No one's testimony was more compelling than Darcy Staser's. She's been living without electricity for months. But two strangers stepped up to pay her overdue bill. mirrorindy.org/aes-indiana-...

Thinking about buying one of these really cool trucks with my Christmas money
On a side note, I'm really happy we got to show Kevin as more than just "homeless man." He's an avid newspaper reader, likes old SNL skits, and he's a really talented guitar player.
My little boy is 11 months old today. Mom was out of town so we got to do a bunch of guy stuff, like sit in the kids section at a bookstore.
AND, we made a barebones flyer that's hopefully easy enough to share or make use of.
