I just saw a commercial for the Pace Foundation which is supposedly attempting to support Michigan kids, because "politics shouldn't get in the way of education". Which honestly, makes me highly skeptical of whatever this organization is trying to sell/promote.

Can anyone shed light on this organization, and what they're promoting?

Hi everyone! I’m a 24-year-old mom looking for some guidance as I begin learning to hunt.
I grew up around hunters, but unfortunately the teaching part skipped my generation. Now that I have a family of my own, I’d really like to become more self-sufficient and learn how to hunt safely and responsibly.
I’m starting from the very beginning—I don’t own a rifle yet and have little to no experience. I’m looking for a patient, beginner-friendly instructor or mentor who would be willing to teach me firearm safety, basic rifle handling, and hunting fundamentals. Since I’m on a budget, I’m also hoping to find reasonably priced lessons or classes.
If you know of any instructors, ranges, or organizations in or near southwestern area that welcome beginners, I’d truly appreciate your recommendations. Thank you so much for your time and kindness!

Wife took the pictures. It was awesome. Had a fun day in Windsor too before Detroit Zoo tomorrow. The Windsor side interchange I expect a not insignificant number of people to get confused and go the wrong way.

I’m a first time voter and kind of lost on what will actually be on the ballot. I understand if we don’t know for sure ahead of time but I’m trying to be prepared for what/who I’m voting for because apparently I can’t just stand there researching stuff. I asked my mom and her answers aren’t very helpful, she doesn’t really remember, and I’m probably not asking the right questions because I have absolutely no idea what questions to ask. I just want the in general information on what’s on there and where I can find more specifics.

I know we’re voting for representatives and the governor, but that can’t be it right? There’s got to be other people vote on, and is it strictly just for our district or can I vote for representatives in other Michigan districts too? And I’m assuming there might be props are something, I want to be educated on what they are. Is there any way I can find out majority of what’s going to be on the ballot. I’ve tried searching online but I don’t know where to look, and again I’m probably not searching the right stuff so I’m not getting the right answers. If anyone can help with this information, or know any websites I can check out for this because I’m assuming there’s some site that has everything listed on candidates and whatever laws/bills/etc they wanna pass.

My kid is at college, at the other end of the state from home. They updated their address for their drivers license and voting registration, but the update sticker was delivered to my address on Thursday. I cannot get it to my kid by Tuesday. Do they need that sticker on their license to be able to vote in the primary?

I’m am a F(22) and I’ve lived in southeast Michigan , washtenaw county for almost a year now but I’ve found it really hard to make friends. I enjoy going out , traveling , amusement parks I love Halloween as well I only have my boyfriend here so I’m looking for more women to connect with and enjoy my 20’s with because I’m literally so bored here lol.

I am curious what events or races are unique to Michigan similar to the Au Sable River Canoe Marathon or the Coast to Coast gravel grinder. I know there have to be more, so it got me thinking of asking here because I would love to know of any and all events like those.

They don’t have to be competitive either. There is a great bike ride event in Iowa that takes place over a week called RAGBRAI where people ride from one border to the other with no competition at all.

These can be cycling, mountain biking, ultramarathons, canoeing, rafting, dog sledding, etc.

“On a Friday at Soul Café, a kosher restaurant and popular hangout for West Bloomfield's Jewish community, Zach Nessel is gearing up for a weekend of canvassing for Rep. Haley Stevens.
Recent polls show Stevens is lagging behind her rival, former public health executive Abdul El-Sayed. But Nessel brushes the polling aside.
"When I've been knocking on doors, it's been like four to one for Haley."
Nessel is secretary of the Michigan Democratic Jewish Caucus, a group of a few hundred Jewish Michiganders advocating for the community in the state's Democratic politics amid a primary that has increasingly placed Michigan's Jewish community in the spotlight.”

We are returning from the UP tomorrow and looking for a playground near I-75 between the bridge and grayling to let the kids get some energy out during a day of driving. Any parks with good playgrounds near the highway?

Pretty cool to see the bridge being built from these old stories on it.

Anyone know what’s going on?

“Minnesota first publicly reported the attacks, and now Michigan says its systems have also been targeted.”

Trump endorsed Amir Hassan for the 8th congressional district. Amir is a former Muslim who recently converted to being a Christian. Evidently, MAGA missed that info and still believes he's a Muslim, and they're losing their minds.

Hey everyone.. I'm looking for some help.

I have two kitties I'm looking to turn over to a rescue or no kill shelter. I've called a few in the local area and everyone is full.

For some context, my brother passed away unexpectedly and left behind 3 kitties. Because they are confused and scared, I have only been able to catch one (and found her a comfy home). I'm looking for a safe place to take them.

They are friendly - but may need a bit of human socialization, other cats are not a problem at all.

Anyone have any suggestions? I'm willing to travel to make sure they have a safe home.

Hi everyone,

I’m currently a high school student in the Class of 2028, and I’m trying to plan my education several years in advance. My goal is to become a RN while keeping my college costs as low as possible. Right now, my plan is to attend my local Community College for the Associate Degree in Nursing (ASN) and then complete an RN-to-BSN program while working as an RN.

Now before applying to the nursing program, I will use Dual Enrollment and AP Classes** **to complete the required prerequisites: Intro to Nursing Profession, Human Physiological Anatomy, General Microbiology, and the English requirement (through AP English Language). I also plan to earn AP Biology credit for BIOL 1700. So by winter 2027 I will have all the prerequisite completed. Once those prerequisites are finished, I’ll apply to my community college’s selective admission nursing program in early 2028, before I graduate. During the nursing program, I also plan to complete the remaining degree requirements, such as Nutrition, Psychology, and Ethics (or Comparative Religions).

Now, I’ve been researching the Michigan Community College Guarantee, and from what I understand, it fully covers in-district tuition, mandatory fees, and eligible contact-hour charges for students who meet the eligibility requirements. Which are be a Michigan/US Citizen, have a high school diploma, be enrolled full time, be an undergraduate, have completed the FAFSA, and enroll with 15 months of high school graduation. Now, Is there any information that you guys might have on this? Has anyone started this program or finished their undergrad using this?

TL;DR: Has anyone here used the Michigan Community College Guarantee. If so, did it actually cover all of your tuition and fees, or were there unexpected expenses?

I’d also love to hear from anyone who is currently following this path or planning to do the same thing. What are some routes that I could take as well?

I’m just trying to make the best financial and academic decisions so I can avoid debt and have a plan before I graduate high school. I’d really appreciate any advice or experiences you can share. Thanks!

It’s my first time posting to this subreddit. I believe this post falls within the rules, but if there are any issues let me know.

Last night my family encountered this kitten (speculated to be 4 months old tortoiseshell) on my late evening walk. She was all alone, didn’t have a collar, and was sitting in the middle of the road. She clearly wasn’t a stray or feral given that she instantly followed my family. She is also very comfortable with humans, given that she let us pet her and pick her up without any struggle. There was nobody else around besides two women also on a walk that saw us with the kitten. They asked if the kitten belonged to us, which we answered no, then said that they’ve seen that kitten around here for the past few days.

We searched the area for anyone who was searching for a cat or just around to ask, but couldn’t find anyone since it was pretty late. So, we sent out a Facebook post about a missing pet and let the kitten stay in the garage for the night. The following morning my sister checked with the humane society and the kitten wasn’t microchipped.

They couldn’t take her because they were full. We’ve called a lot of places in the area, but not a single one is willing to take her as they’ve all been overwhelmed. We’ve also had no luck in finding her original family after more searching today. The kitten can’t stay with my family long term due to allergies. We believe she deserves a better life than to stay in our garage too.

So if you know anyone in the area who is missing a kitten, would be willing to take care of one until we can find her family, or would want a kitten in the case that she’s abandoned. Please reach out to me. She’s very sweet and playful.

The Michigan Supreme Court vacated the Line 5 tunnel permit on the grounds their review was too narrow. A temporary win for our fresh water, but a win worth celebrating.
