BLM Announces Plan to Fell Oregon's Last Great Forests One billion board feet per year... 30 days to make your voice heard.

You only have a short time to comment. They are trying to destroy our forests to enrich a few logging company executives and the politicians they’ve paid off.

I am going to link to organizations that I know for sure are helping trans Kansans. This thread will develop slowly as I either know people or will vet them.

At this point we have not heard from anyone being helped via relocation resources. These exist, but I assume they are overwhelmed.

"Tell me you know nothing about the Muppets without telling me you know nothing about the Muppets."

My third grader was assigned and read a whole book in the enrichment class, fwiw.

"My husband complains about the cold," the man said. "Can you teach me a spell to keep him warm?"

"I can teach you to bind hair into a net to catch heat," the wizard said, "using arcane counting and a pair of fine wands."

After a while, the man said "Isn't this knitting?"

"This, too, is magic."

Four crocheted plushies! Emotional Support dumpster fires

Does anyone need a crocheted emotional support dumpster fire

The best explanation I ever heard about the school closings around here was when someone pointed out that DC temperatures tend to hover around freezing, and that’s actually more dangerous than a decent amount of snow with below-freezing temperatures.

My 8 year old was introduced to it last year by a friend at school.

I am convinced solely based on “trans Chassidic shapechanger”.

I am curious how that went! I love that religious school at our synagogue is on Saturday for many reasons.

Thanks for posting, we have enjoyed playing it the last two nights! We are finding MetaFlora pretty hard, but also fun.

I’m glad you’re fine… That sounds awful, particularly as the only adult, but also irregardless.

Great news!

Hearing about the devastating flooding in Western Alaska made my heart sink as a Helene survivor — especially knowing that Native Alaskans were hit the hardest.

Please consider donating to the Alaska Community Foundation. These funds will be distributed to trusted Native organizations.

If you've been following ICE news out of Chicago, you've been following Dave Byrnes' reporting whether you knew it or not.

Was a time that I reported on social chaos/violence & it's exhausting in so many ways—some you expect, some you couldn't imagine, & often out of nowhere. Maybe buy Dave a beer?

Bubbles are always a legit alternative.

They also have a theater troupe called Happenstance Theater, with several other people, and put on really cool shows. But those shows are not usually for kids, though they’re not inappropriate or risqué.

If you go back, A Fool Named O and Lalala is a classic act! O is a mime named Mark Jaster; when I grew up, he came to my elementary school several times to teach us the basics of miming. Lalala has since joined the act.

Jimmy Kimmel and other late-night comedians have certainly said things about me that I found offensive, even outrageous.

It never crossed my mind to call up the networks and say, "Hey, get rid of this guy."

Because that's not how America works.

Just that the specific word for that bigotry isn’t “antisemitism”.

Unfortunately, the screenshot you shared isn’t accurate. It does look a little like AI, which is not always a reliable source. Joel’s description is accurate. I don’t think he is arguing that Arabic and Moslem people don’t suffer from bigotry directed at them;

Yes, I am chronically ill and also an expert in this sort of advocacy and I am not wasting your 🔋 with this CTA (I'm in the middle of a med change, no one has energy for bullshit)

No, you don't need to use an app or third party site to call your reps. The Capitol Switchboard is (202) 224-3121

We are here to help out, if you need someone to eat figs for you. (Am both serious and kidding, since I cannot imagine you don’t want all your figs.)

That’s beautiful!

I think Altman assumes that “PhD-level expert” means someone who speaks confidently on everything as opposed to saying “it’s nuanced,” losing their keys, and getting maniacally fixated on their current topic to the point of seeing it in everything.

ACTUAL BREAKING NEWS THAT ISN’T BAD

The International Court of Justice just issued a landmark ruling that a clean, healthy, and sustainable planet is a human right — meaning countries that fail to address climate change could be in violation of international law.

Just saw a post on FB....KOTZ will close in October without CPB funding. This is a huge loss to the area :(

This was my first official job. I started as a secretary/janitor and was a DJ for many years. This is so sad, and devastating for our region :(
