Dr Emily rescued this peacock butterfly from her apartment stairwell. She said it was hissing and making cricket noises at her. Butterflies vocalize to scare away predators. I did not know that.

The NYTimes wisely hired Anna Griffin, one of the best journalists in Portland, as the head of its Pacific Northwest Bureau

President Trump continued to describe Portland, Ore., as a city on fire Friday even as residents enjoyed the first fall rain and the lone demonstrator at the city’s Immigration and Customs Enforcement building was dressed as a pink Care Bear. While taking questions from reporters in the White House, Mr. Trump said that “every time I look at that place, it’s burning down” and claimed that when store owners in Portland need to make repairs, they “build it out of plywood.” Buildings are still constructed with wood, concrete, steel and other modern construction materials in Oregon.

From my hemiplegic migraine group

“You don’t look sick” Thanks that’s the goal. But here is what you don’t see. I cancel plans, I rest for hours after a shower, I forget basic words mid sentence, I grieve a version of myself barely remember, fight everyday against a body that doesn’t cooperate. It is not just tired. It is chronic illness.

Interesting! I'd heard of (and seen photos of) butterfly gynandromorphs, but not spiders.

We have Historic Rights of Way in Ireland, there's one on to the beach across Trump's golf course.
He tried restricting access when he bought the place, the county told him to knock that shit off but not before the surfers did donuts on the greens

Also, Calavera in the evening is a good place to hear the occasional coyote chorus. Yip-yip-yip-AWOOOOOO! 2/2

Always pleasant to hear. We don't hear them in the neighborhood as often as we used to, but when I'm walking in the jungle part of Bub Williamson Park in early evening I usually hear them, as they're residents there. 1/2
