Youth Cross-Country Ski Gear Library
cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/44013765 [https://lemmy.world/post/44013765] > Some folks around Portland are starting to work on a large gear library for youth skiers. The goal is to offer cheap, seasonal rentals of skis, boots, and poles to skiers around the 5-12 age range. If you have waxless classic skis, poles, or boots for young skiers and would like to donate them, please contact Nonstop Nordic [[email protected]].
My deep thought and gift to you today:
“Remember the things a convicted felon posts on TruthSocial don’t have to be ideas that are “top of mind” for us every day. It’s hard, but we should not let fascists control the newsfeed of our own minds.”
For more on these ideas, check out my upcoming #Thrive2026 online presentation, “Reclaiming Our News Feeds:”

Reflect Orbital wants to destroy the night sky to deliver "sunlight as a service". SpaceX wants to destroy Low Earth Orbit to launch one million "AI datacentres"
The only way to formally protest these two ideas is to file a comment with the US FCC, which is horribly complicated, but the American Astronomical Society has detailed instructions posted here: https://aas.org/posts/advocacy/2026/02/how-submit-comments-satellite-applications-fcc
Comments due March 6 for SpaceX and March 9 for Reflect Orbital. Write! Write! Write!
