If you wear a uniform and you are positive you’re on the right side of history, you shouldn’t have a problem with having your picture taken while you’re on the job.

Today’s #TenMinMerlin didn’t turn up the Orange-crowned warbler or the butterbutts who were here earlier this week. Also, a SOSP spent most of the time eating within 10 feet of me and never made a peep.

Getting reacquainted with old familiar haunts is refreshing when they look like this. Saw 5 Sandhill cranes, my first of the season, just a couple of miles from here.

I know the rain is a blessing but I’m going to flashback to a recent sunny Saturday. 😎

That’s my Senator! Thank you @wyden.senate.gov for representing Oregonians and all who believe in democracy!
In case this won't be reported, Senate Dems are holding the floor for 30 hours to try to stall the RFK Vote!

Here's the press release from Wyden's office.

It’s been inspiring to see everyone come together for LA,,, but there’s one community I need to highlight.

Not enough is being done for the black families after the LA fires. Ive partnered up with GoFundMe and the BMAC to create ONE main GoFundMe campaign to immediately help those in need.

To my nonbinary, agender, genderqueer, and otherwise off the binary friends & siblings: You are loved, you are valued, you are important to our community, you've been here longer than the tyrants, and you will still be here when their bones are dust and the names of their false gods are forgotten.

Watched the series finale of Somebody Somewhere with laughter and tears. I consistently laughed/cried at this beautiful, compelling show. Of course, I’m incredibly sad it’s done (for now?) but so joyful it was made!!

What I found was identity theft, plagiarism and an absolutely terrifying future for local journalism led by AI scammers.

My latest:
AI slop is already invading Oregon’s local journalism
The Ashland Daily Tidings — established as a newspaper in 1876 — ceased operations in 2023, but if you were a local reader, you may not have known because of an elaborate scam using artificial intelli...
