Something something home decor hipster...

I did some stream monitoring in what is now state game land, but used to be an orchard, out in a rural area of my county. There are still trees buried in vegetation that had grown in around them, all lined up in rows. Kinda want to go back and see what’s growing. A good amount of land in that area ended up as state…

Jesus. That’s horrible.

I had to get a background check at *16* when I started getting paid as an aide at a summer playground program (mainly doing arts and crafts and playing capture the flag at the local elementary school 9-3). Even though I had attended it since elementary school and, y’know, I was 16. Cost two hours of my wages to get…

How does he pass on this info? Whispering it into someone’s ear? Passing along a scrap of paper? There has to be a way to get a decent camera or decent audio or a lipreader and figure this out...

It would be altogether better if you got rid of the grass entirely... As that’s aesthetically not cool (and to be fair, grass is nice for things, especially if you have kids) mowing tall and adding in a rain garden is next best for your local watershed (and keeping your basement dry, and keeping bees happier if you’re…

Fairly certain he doesn’t use it though, cause, yknow, apparently people in Ann Arbor aren’t big fans. I lived a block away for some of last year and never saw him, and passed by that daily. I did see aides/visitors and the Mrs. coming and going, though (all from the alley), and a car I’m pretty sure was his from on…

Fuuuuuuuuuck, my bank sent me new checks instead of a new card. I got like 3 compliments from random folks on my Uniqlo skirt yesterday, and I just walked to a coffeeshop. And I live absolutely nowhere near a store.

Including the Eastern half of WA?

It’s not end of story though.

I can’t star this enough. It’s like the idiot in the horror movie who is decidedly on their way to safety and decides to fucking turn back for some dumbass reason.

Way to plant, Ann!

What’s the exception to the rule? My *guess* is somewhere in New England?... Every other possibility in my head I can think of disqualifying factors.

True story, the only (openly) undocumented kid I knew in high school was blonde haired and blue eyed. His mom brought him over from Eastern Europe in the 80s. That seems as good a logic as any to make a call.

Yeah, as far as Flint being lost... The rest of us need to step the fuck up. As exhausting as everything else in the state and everything nationally is, it’s still not fixed and we owe it to fucking Michiganders to fight until they have safe water when we’re all surrounded by 20% of the world’s fresh accessible…

Aw, so nice to see all the Michiganders up in here.

The policy/ballot language is still being worked on. If you’d be interested in circulating as well as just signing, though, go to www.countMIvote.org - there is active organizing for volunteer petition circulators across the state right now, and you can email the main organizing teams from there. It’s all volunteer…

Long story short, they existed separately and joined forces for the ballot initiative, which is being conducted as under VNP name/campaign as filed for the ballot declaration.
