To be fair, an editor being getting the vapors over real bodies having sex would have set me off too. :)

What hope looks like when you put it into action.
It’s a rainy day in Eugene. Ducks game is on. I’m sorting and labeling seeds (mostly wildflower) as an act of faith that spring will come round again.

What does your hope in action look like?

Brown cardboard is background. On the card is a scattering of dark black seeds and dried petals. An empty liter bottle is half-full of sorted wildflower. A glass bottle holds corncockle. A brown envelope contains Farewell-to-Spring (native Oregon wildflower)

Imagine if you did this in any other journalistic context

"Did the Tigers or Mariners Win Game 5? In Detroit, Depends on the Narrator."

A classic case of irresponsible both-sidesism from the NYT. The story is that Trump and MAGA propagandists are lying about Portland to incite a conflict, not that there are different views of the matter.

I think M’s fans are going to need some more wins from Humpy. (If you don’t know, the extra Salmon race last night was the first time Humpy EVER won against King, Sockeye and Silver.l And then the Mariners won!) #TridentsUp #Mariners

3 out of the 4 Fox-baseball pros picked the Yankees to take the WS. That’s why they get paid the big bucks.

He is not allowed to talk about the Mariners. He will never be forgiven for the way he walked out on the team.

PayRod suddenly remembering that he used to play for the Mariners.

The man who promised to put the team on his back and then immediately signed for the Rangers GFH.

Someone tell Pay-Rod to shut his pie hole.

The best part is knowing that the Orange Grifter will never show his face at a Mariners game.

Is this hell? I thought hell would be a four-way stop in Seattle where no one ever goes, but it turns out it might be a baseball game in Seattle that never ends.
