Holy shit. I’m glad the other author reached out to check with you, so you know this crap is out there. How enraging, I’m sorry. 😣

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.

Alaskans: tomorrow have your voice heard on this bill. It's imperfect but it's a positive, pro-library bill.

What's it like to catch Andrés Mũnoz's fastball? Our Mariners writer donned a glove to try Seattle Times reporter Adam Jude caught Andrés Muñoz's lightning fastball during a bullpen session at spring training. Here's how he (barely) survived.

This by @byadamjude.bsky.social is hilarious.

Ridwell also takes several types of styrofoam. There used to be a place in Kent to drop it off for recycling but they only took some kinds. I’m not sure if they are still there.

I still use it for zucchini, I never got into spiralizing every possible food. We did make some great spiral cut potatoes once but just once.

A question for any 19th century English lit scholars (please boost!): when were Lord Byron's letters to his wife first published? I haven't been able to find a specific date for those yet. (I'm assuming it must have been after her death in 1860, but I could be wrong even about that vague assumption)

Starting tomorrow, you can watch fish traffic via an underwater camera livestreaming from an Utrecht canal. If you spot waiting 🐟, you can ping an operator to open the Weerdsluis lock gate & let them through. Highly recommend this for easing elevated stress levels, or if you just like helping fish

LGBTQ Foundation of Kansas The LGBTQ+ Foundation of Kansas is committed to helping LGBTQ+ people in Kansas find resources, discover community, and thrive in their identities.

I am going to link again to LGBTQ KS. While I do not know them myself, my friends vouch for them. LGBTQ KS are raising money to help fund the cost of replacement driver's licenses and birth certificates. They are coordinating rides to the DMV and connecting people with resources. lgbtqks.org

Didn't hit the 500 stores goal by end of February, but I'm crossing my fingers that we'll hit 600 by end of March. Stores from Rhode Island, Alaska, & both Dakotas are still needed to hit at least one store in every US state, so if you're in one of those states, encourage your local to sign up!
