Just read that all federal grants are “paused.” My job is grant funded and we are at the beginning of a new grant cycle (which has been partially awarded). What this means for me, my coworkers, and most importantly our clients is currently up in the air but let’s be clear: this is real bad.

JUST IN: Michigan Governor Gretchen Whitmer today signed a first-in-the-nation law that automatically registers people to vote as they leave prison:
Michigan Law I First to Automatically Register People to Vote As They Leave Prison
The legislature passed a bill that will also expand automatic voter registration in other ways, including applying it at Medicaid offices, and likely add many new Michiganders to voter rolls.

My back pain flared up and basically I’m okay as long as I keep moving. So now I have to figure out how to sleepwalk on purpose.

Last night we saw a meteor while driving out of Boston! It was close enough I thought at first it was a plane or something? It was so cool but very weird to see something like that so close with all the light pollution.

I just finished the book Heretic by Jeanna Kadlec and I think I’m still unpacking the things it brought up in me.

When I was a kid, the church I went to had a production they put on (hosted?) called Heaven’s Gates, Hell’s Flames.

When packing for this vacation, having looked at the weather app, I did not anticipate sweating this much.

We made friends with older gays at the bar in P Town and now we are having dinner with one of them tomorrow night and I couldn’t be more pleased.

Taking our kid to college this weekend. When I say she is taking way too much stuff, that’s an understatement.

I need a friend with a farm full of animals that I can come and pet them and help out once and while. Particularly one with baby animals.

Spent the day with my mom for the first time in a couple of years(!! Which is crazy. What is time??) and boy is getting old absolute SHIT. Our house doesn’t have a main floor bathroom (split level) and I had to physically support her to get up and down steps.

Other than the conservatory, what is there to do around Columbus with elderly folks? My mom and her husband are in town and we have to see them tomorrow.

One thing I love about my agency is they give employees two paid hours to vote.

We’ve been watching Reservation Dogs. It’s so good! Highly recommend if you’re looking for a show to watch.
