#TIL that there is a prrofoundly evil #cult called "Twin Flames Universe" based in #Leelanau County #Michigan, which is a special area for me. I wish I had not learned this. I have too much to be worried about and it was already Therapy Thursday, when I dig them up and turn my concerns like compost.
I got an indication that I'm corrupting my therapist. I was enumerating the fragilities of our complex systems and she mentioned how fucked we'd be from one big EMP pulse. Yup. Mass human death. -
The #GrandTraverseBand of #Ottawa and #ChippewaIndians is one step closer regaining #tribal #ownership & #stewardship of a 187-acre chunk of land on the #LeelanauPeninsula.
The land that became #TimberShores was #illegally transferred to private ownership in 1855.
#NOAA is giving more than $6.5 million for the purchase of the Timber Shores site. It's also chipping in on #restoration efforts. The money comes from a larger $11-million pool that also funds continued work on the #FishPass project in the #BoardmanOttawayRiver.
The remaining amount for the purchase, roughly $3.5 million, will come from a #Leelanau County nonprofit called #NewCommunityVision, which negotiated a $10 million purchase of the land. The #nonprofit says it's still $2 million away from that amount but expects to have it by the end of 2024.
Under the agreement, New Community Vision will purchase the land, then transfer it to the Grand Traverse Band for restoration & #preservation. It will be renamed #Mashkiigaki, which means marsh lands & place of the medicine.
The tribe’s #NaturalResources Department will restore Mashkiigaki’s shoreline, wetlands & creek corridor, which are important spawning grounds for cisco & other native fish species.

Just went down the rabbit hole of #wastewater monitoring for #covid19, specifically in #Michigan.
WTF???
Looks like #BioBot (https://biobot.io/data/covid-19) is the closest thing to a national test network, but it looks like they have all of 1 county (#Leelanau, a personal fave) and only sporadic data there. Meanwhile, Michigan has SWEEP (https://www.michigan.gov/coronavirus/stats/wastewater-surveillance/dashboard/sentinel-wastewater-epidemiology-evaluation-project-sweep) which has a weird patchwork of sources. This would be tolerable except for one thing: they report wildly divergent numbers. 1/n -
Not a small deal here.
Outstanding work by #Detroit News writer Candice Williams. #TraverseCity #Leelanau #farming
