The Portland thing gives me some hope because we, as a society, glorify violence because our government IS violence. But the cycle of retaliation can never stop without some really intense problem solving and big picture work.

To see de-escalation with frog suits, of all things.

With several of the top mid-distance #SledDog races opening registration in October, it seems that dog mushing is thriving despite the "panic" some fans feel due to ongoing trouble for Iditarod and Yukon Quest races to forge ahead. #Mushing #MusherSky

Registrations are high this race season

Reitter's Block focuses on the sport of dog mushing, centered mainly in Alaska.

Trees overlook the entry
Wooden floor to ceiling
Muddy boots a messy line
Of drunken soldiers
From the mud wars
Did my pack fit in?
No probably not
But I had hoped
In the morning hours
Fog in the rushes
Clover at the window
A spot on the floor for me?
A book in hand
I could blend in

A Nashville Warbler working along a branch looking for insects to eat. The name comes from ornithologist Alexander Wilson, who first encountered this bird in Nashville, Tennessee.

Look what I found in my pocket. Guess I haven’t worn pants since the spring. We were younger, more innocent then…

A worn seed packet with about 5 cucumber seeds in it.

Big adventure in the yard today!

NATIVEPLANTGUY: *bent over to pull a weed* Yeah, I’ve been trying to catch these little weeds while they’re small—
ME: STOP
NPG: *freezes*
ME: Step back, slowly.
NPG: *steps back*
ME: Whew.
NPG: Rattlesnake, right? Where?
ME: *points*
NPG: …whoa.

Few triumphs in this world like actually making banana bread with the overripe bananas you tell yourself you're saving to make banana bread

If you're tired of the same old story
Turn some pages

(My friend took her older sister's tape and played it over and over and over. I lived with their family, so it's burned into my soul hahaha)

Hanging out on the rocks in Peabody or down Oak Ave
Lol those were the days

Needs flowers tonight

And endless mountain field, filled with flowers.

3a.m. the fire is dim
Black iron gets colder at the edges
And the nearly empty room
Sends back the squeal from the hinges
Wood dust and ash underfoot
My silhouette behind me
My feet resist every moment
Crossing the threshold
To find the fuel to start again

Is this going to be like that thing where you see real-time images of climate disasters online until finally you’re the one taking the photo?

I fear if things don’t change right now, this image is going to come back to haunt us

Laura Rodriguez, on Twitter:

A federal agent points a weapon at a woman who was recording them.

Jess, a U.S. citizen and member of a neighborhood patrol team that documents and shares ICE activity across the city, was filming when the incident occurred earlier today in the Berwyn area.
