If Natalie Portman married Jacques Cousteau, how would we mash up their surnames?

Ungodly young and perhaps the most talented Oregon team ever. Scary part is that they aren’t even close to their ceiling of potential.

Here’s hoping Lanning can keep hold of the reins.

These stats tell me Oregon just needs to break loose a couple time and they’ve got this.

I lost my job. USDA Forest Service.


My probation was up next week.


I did everything right. I took a GS-7 role with a master’s degree just to get my foot in the door. I spent years doing seasonal fieldwork for low pay, working in remote places, gaining experience, and building skills, just for a chance at a permanent position. I was about to be a GS-9. I wrote NEPA reports. I conducted field surveys. I worked fire support. I dedicated myself to this work because I believed in it.


Public lands don’t manage themselves. The wildlife, watersheds, and forests we protect don’t just stay protected without people on the ground making it happen. My coworkers and I took on that responsibility, often in places most people never think about but that matter more than they know.


And now? Just like that, I’m out.


Edit: I’ve consistently supported progressive policies and have voted Democrat in every national and local election since I was 18. I do appreciate folks asking, I have some coworker having a serious 'leopards ate my face' moment right now.

This comment on r/fednews really stood out to me. Trump and Musk want people to think they're firing do-nothing "bureaucrats," but they're really getting rid of people dedicated to serving this country and keeping it operational. I hope these stories get told.

As a musician/composer I’ve often thought that a converted church would be a great flexible space to have for making and producing music.

There’s no way to say this without being awkward about it, but, does your organ work?

Gutting USAID threatens billions of dollars for U.S. farms, businesses U.S. businesses that sold goods and services to USAID are in limbo, including American farms dealing in rice, wheat and soybeans.

US farmers sold $2 billion of food to USAID. Not any more.

- US farmers provided 41% of food delivered by USAID
- $340M of purchases/shipments are now paused. Over 680,000 tonnes.
- Food stranded in Houston
- Aid stopped in transit.

The world’s poor starving, food rotting & US farmers screwed.

I also consider myself a Safari dragon… hoarding tabs and windows.

I’m just starting to notice my (admittedly) maxed out trash can Mac Pro start to struggle with this practice, but that’s more than respectable for a 12 year old machine.

However my M2 MacBook Air doesn’t even blink.

I gradually stepped away from social networks a few years ago as what turned out to be an unconscious method of self preservation.

I don’t know what my future participation will look like, but I do enjoy connecting with people and I certainly have more boundaries now. So, hello (again) everyone.
