» Arts Orbit: October heartbreaks and springtime hopes: For every team, and every dream, there is a season
This is only the second blog post that I have written this season because I have been focused on trying to figure out my life after my divorce in June.
I started out not wanting to be labeled as divorced. I thought I could be who I always was, even though I am divorced. What I have discovered…

We want this law stopped. We want the Governor to issue an executive order to stop the cutoffs. We want the courts to do something to stop this. And here’s why: These laws, if they go into effect, will not just kill people, before they kill people they’re going to torture people. Imagine the feeling of dialysis being stopped…how long before the pain sets in? How long before you get so sick that you’re waiting to slip into that coma?

As of January 1, undocumented immigrants will no longer be covered under Minnesota’s Emergency Medical Assistance Program—meaning that if those seriously ill patients show up at hospitals without insurance, the hospitals will either have to pay for the patients’ care out of their own pockets or simply turn those patients away.

Red worms and Facebook
I got a phone message at the TC Daily Planet yesterday from someone who wanted a local source where she could buy red worms. She said she read about red worm composting and TCDP was the only phone number on the page. Probably — we published the article, and we don’t always have phone numbers in stories.
I didn’t want to go find the article and track down a local red worm outlet, so I threw up a quick question on my personal Facebook account. Wow! Within minutes, I had multiple responses from the author of the TCDP article about places to go, and more responses from other friends who also knew where to get red worms or offered to share their own.
I think this Facebook post got more responses, more quickly, than anything else I’ve ever posted. (Yes, the caller got her worms.)
Maybe I’m missing something. I should write about worms more often.
