A close up of one of the larger rocks of a slide that has closed northbound Interstate 5 south of Bellingham. Trees still sprout from the rock, with other rocks and downed trees surrounding it.
We do not have an estimate when lanes will reopen. Alternate routes include SR 9 & SR 11, but SR 11 and local roads are not suitable for freight.
We understand this is frustrating. We are focusing on doing this precise, methodical work as safely and quickly as we can.

they should make a movie series about how it’s irresponsible to use technology to mess with the natural order of things for profit
Aye, when they reach for *those* types of excuses you know they're really struggling to defend a false narrative. Anyway, this says more than I can:

My last two shots before my world went dark.
Screenshot of Startribune article with the headline: Counterprotestors prevented Jake Lang from burning Qur'an. "Right wing influencer Jake Lang planned to burn a Quy'an outside Minneapolis City Hall at 1pm as part of his anti-Islam rally, but counterprotestors said they were not planning to let him do that."
If a Minnesotan says to you, "I don't plan to let you do that," run.
Longer than that even! I met my husband on a MUD in 1997.
I like the genre of posts where someone shares a video of a little old lady in Minnesota going “oh gosh, I sure hope those boys don’t freeze” and all the replies are people saying “that’s Minnesotan for I’m going to feast on your bones in Valhalla”
Y'all the latest episode of the #Kilauea #eruption just went CRAZY. It looks like pressure built up enough to explode out the ground around the two existing vents (first few seconds), leading to a massive surge in lava fountaining.🌋🤯

I’ve found it’s more visually appealing to just paste in his head at the inflection points

I have a guess -- maybe the intent was to combine boats of immigrants/refugees with the stable where Christ was born? Meant to be a message about welcoming the stranger? Some of the boats look kinda like mangers and most of the people seem coded as "other" from the pov of white Europeans.
One of my top "if I won the lottery" type fantasies is buying up golf courses and building low income/free housing on them.

A spelling-corrected version of my previous illustration: Hebrew calligraphy in dark green stretches in lines across the image. Negative space makes room for a simple representation of an inflatable frog costume with a blue bandana. That shape consists of the English translation of the Hebrew, in a lighter green, and in much smaller text. -- Famously, the Egyptian tyrant causes Egypt to be overrun with frogs because he refuses to free the Hebrew people, but there are additional details that make this a fun one to ponder. For one, the Hebrew says "the frog came up" - ONE frog - even though the rest of the time it says "frogs." So there are a few explanations rabbis have come up with to explain this. One is that a single frog multiplied to create swarms. A more creative explanation is that there was a singular giant frog who traveled and brought destruction. Jewish social media was sharing videos of the Portland Frog protester with the caption, "One Big Frog! One Big Frog!" Of course the frog protesters did multiply, and many were seen in crowds all over the world on "No Kings" Day. This calligraphic work takes the verses addressing the frog plague and combines them to form a simple rendering of the Portland Frog protester. The frog figure itself is made up of the English translations of the Hebrew around it. At the bottom left my signature is in the shape of a lily pad.
Here is a corrected version of it. It should have any and all typos taken care of - but feel free to point out any! I want this to be squared away before I make any prints! Thanks, #JewSky for your enthusiasm!
cartoon: in the style of Egyptian heiroglyhics the lyrics to the Time Warp have been phonetically translated and help illustrate characters from RHPS Caption; Rocky Horus Picture Scroll
From the Larchives: The Rocky Horus Picture Scroll. One of my favorite works. I had the assistance of an Egyptology PhD student to translate the Time Warp phonetically. Enjoy :)
Whenever I see someone getting all "grawr I hate all you woke people using PRONOUNS" I assume that means they talk like this youtu.be/koZFca8AkT0?...
Remember it is important to not only take care of yourself but your plushies too!
Did people really memorize phone numbers before cell phones, or is that just a movie thing? 2? Questions I was watching some old shows from the 90s and noticed people would just dial numbers from memory - like they'd call their friends or family without looking anything up. Made me wonder if that was actually normal back then? Did people genuinely have all their important numbers memorized, or did most folks keep a little address book or written list nearby?
If anyone needs me I will be in the museum, lying down next to the bog bodies.

cry havoc and let slip the frogs of war
“One of the chants that has become ubiquitous at these protests at Broadview is, ‘Love your neighbor, love your God, save your soul and quit your job,’” said Black, who pastors at the First Presbyterian Church of Chicago. “Everybody chants that.”
I’m actually being quite serious here. Fascism is about keeping people emotionally dysregulated, especially through the reinforcement of shame, and offering them relief through mass conformity. That’s why fascism is so opposed to empathy, authenticity and queerness
The reason why KPop Demon Hunters is the most important film of 2025 is that it understands fascism to be fundamentally an *emotional*, rather than an intellectual or political, phenomenon. In this essay I shall
Tweet from Shafiqah Hudson on 10/7/23: People looked at me all kinds of sideways when I suggested that the aggressive rollback of mask mandates, free testing, and other COVID-related services were essentially world governments enacting slow mass slaughter. But they’re fully aware that COVID kills on the comeback.
They were funny, respected, well-loved activists. They were rightfully scared about what COVID could do to them. They were “the vulnerable”—chronically ill Black women who needed $$ for healthcare costs—the government wanted, and wants, us to find acceptable to abandon. They knew what was happening.
Tweet by Shafiqah Hudson on 9/18/2023: “I’m going to say, again, that when long COVID effects kill me—sooner than later—I need y’all to recognize and say LOUDLY what it was. Long COVID is keeping my blood pressure at 230/128, in spite of taking an elaborate cocktail of meds. Long COVID is shredding my kidneys.”
I remember when Hudson tweeted this. It was one of her last tweets.
It especially makes my blood boil when people treat COVID conscious people like they’re over dramatic or oddities to be amused by when I think about Tinu Abayomi-Paul and Shafiqah Hudson.
