PANEL 1: MATTIE is talking to A GUY. They're both up to their waists in water. MATTIE: Concerning amount of water, don't you think? GUY: Eh! PANEL 2: The water is now up to their shoulders. GUY: I have great news about the future. MATTIE: Oh? This doesn't seem great. PANEL 3: The water is now up to their heads, they both tilt their heads back to speak. The GUY is now holding up his phone. GUY: The KIDS will fix it! They'll fix all of it. I saw it, on my phone. MATTIE: Ohhh I see it now. Phew! PANEL 4: The water fills the frame. The GUY's phone and glasses float atop it.

This image is a poster titled "What is a public library?" followed by translations in several languages. It illustrates various activities and uses of a public library, such as reading, using reference materials, and attending events. The phrase "Who is it for?" is accompanied by translations and a drawing of a diverse group of people highlighted with text saying, "for everyone," in multiple languages.

We're kicking off #NationalLibraryWeek with a special selection from the archives! This offset lithograph poster illustrates a few of the many resources and programs that a public library offers its community. It emphasizes that these resources are free and for everyone in multiple languages.

Then I put them on an apple blossom to recover

I love native bees so much I just wanna cry, this bud landed on my hat while I was planting some little seeds and then fell down on the sidewalk, weighed down by so much pollen

Dark blue text on a playful yellow and red background, with a picture of a family at a preschool graduation. WE CAN HAVE A THRIVING COUNTY WHERE EVERYONE HAS WHAT THEY NEED BUT NOT IF WE PRIORITIZE TAX CUTS FOR THE ULTRA-WEALTHY OVER EVERYTHING ELSE

The Friends of Preschool for All coalition agree with many of the findings from the PFA Technical Advisory Group's (TAG) report on what the program needs to be successful, but we draw a different conclusion. We appreciate the recommendation for a dedicated reserve in the form of a rainy day fund, to ensure the program stays solvent in the case of an economic downturn. As well as the call for better cost estimates, and the acknowledgement that the current "cost per seat" figure underestimates how much it actually costs a provider to educate each child. When you factor in all expenses, including wages for staff, facilities, supplies, training, and more, small miscounts can add up to massive underbudgeting, so we are heartened to know that the county has commissioned a true cost model that will provide an accurate figure by sometime in the fall.

But as hundreds of families made clear in their testimony to the board of commissioners, we want to arrive at full universality as soon as possible. Delaying the voter-approved tax bump yet again does not speed up the rollout, nor does it build certainty or a strong foundation for this program that is still in its first years of operation.

Once we have a fully universal program with seats for everyone who wants one, new options may emerge. At that point, any decisions that need to be made regarding how to spend any surplus of the tax the voters have already approved could be put back to the voters again. Maybe they would agree to put those dollars back in the pockets of the wealthiest in our community, or maybe they would like to follow the lead of NYC and expand the program to 2 year olds, or put budget towards more direct community outreach, making sure everyone knows that free, high-quality preschool is available and helping them register. We stand united for a growing Multnomah County where every family and every childcare worker can afford to thrive. Friends of Preschool for ALL Coalition friendsofpfa.org

So: I’m not Indigenous and I don’t want to say something silly - this has a lot of information www.oregonencyclopedia.org/articles/sku...

Missouri town fires half its city council over data center deal Residents of a St. Louis suburb turned out in droves to unseat four incumbents just days after the council approved a development agreement for a $6 billion data center.

Voters in a small Missouri town, unhappy with the city council’s approval of a $6B data center, ousted all four incumbent council members running for reelection

Also! these plants did not ask to be spread to places where they take over and do ecological damage, while their original ecosystem is also harmed by other plants that love to take over

I wish I could come transplant all the skunk cabbage & salal & rhododendrons back here

💚 to you & all the plants

It will never stop blowing my mind to see native plants from where I live (PNW north America) act invasively in Ireland - skunk cabbage is so special and it has been part of Indigenous culture forever here

Here in Oregon, blackberry, ivy, holly, and scotchbroom are massively invasive

Have you sent emails to our Senators yet, urging them oppose any legislation that would grant immunity to the fossil fuel industry?

I really wanted to post it here but they have a 3 minute video limit

Today in: I love my dad
My dad definitely loves space and the moon and he loves to send pictures of the moon when it is full and I send him astrology words that he does not engage in

Yesterday he sent me a 4 minute 18 second almost completely silent cellphone recorded video of his tv screen

The greed is wild. Apple is worth nearly $4 trillion but can't tolerate a single store with unionized workers because they're so against workers getting what they deserve.

Democratic Leaders Resist Effort to Impeach Trump on Iran Democratic leaders are urging against efforts within the party to impeach Trump before the midterms, say those involved in the debate

New: A surge in calls among Democrats to pursue Trump’s impeachment is hitting a wall with party leaders, who believe it will distract from their midterm focus on costs and corruption, according to interviews with over a dozen Democrats.
Some also view 25th Amendment as a nonstarter

Between the Impossible and the Inevitable: The Case for Defiance (aka Never F**king Surrender) I have been hesitating to hit send on this one, because across the world we are all under the shadow of Trump's threat to commit war crimes that will "eradicate a whole civilization" in Iran while Ira...

Claims we have no power to impact what happens are nevertheless an intervention in what will happen, by discouraging participation, by encouraging passivity, surrender, acquiescence. If you insist that a given outcome is inevitable, you are lobbying against resistance.

Investigate Sightline! Call on Oregon officials to investigate Sightline Intelligence. No to aiding and abetting genocide! No to training military tech on Portlanders!

Portland residents, @portlanddsa.bsky.social learned that a local company called Sightline Intelligence is shipping lethal drone tech to Israel. Take 2 mins to click & ask electeds to look into Sightline, which uses PDX area footage in its chilling promo materials: actionnetwork.org/letters/sigh...

If I create a petition for Portland to be the site of Nuremberg trials part 2 for Trump & Co how many signatures do you think it will get?
