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.

If bombing solved things, we'd have found out before now, I feel. It's certainly had enough tries at it.

Flickers carrying on outside all yesterday and today. They sound exactly as deranged as a bird that will probably put a new hole in my wall this spring ought to sound. Impossible not to admire them anyway (from inside my patched walls). #bird

I can't get over this number: in 2007, there were 360,000 newspaper jobs. Now, there are 80,000. "My local paper sucked!" Sure. What sucks even more? The void. "I get all my news from the Guardian!" No, the Guardian doesn't report on your town council, your school board, local cops.

Linocut of a selkie

The beloved Selkie! They have a grey sealskin coat that can be taken off when walking on land. In some stories, the coat is stolen by humans to trap the Selkie on land, often making them forget their roots to the sea. #FolkloreThursday 🦭

(OK: it's kind of not what it looks like. It was a cold day, so my kid and I sat by the baseboard heater to warm up and read books, and I fell asleep, and he took a picture. Cozy!)

(But in retrospect, it felt 100% fitting.)
