Recently I posted that some libraries in southern Oregon were under attack. Racist, bigoted fascists were trying to infiltrate their Board so they could ban books.

Well, the voters have spoken. Our candidates—kind people with integrity—won the election. They won!

Small elections are huge. They mean so very much. Just wanted to share, because these victories have been few and far between.

I’m finding so many interesting posts & links about #science & #history on #Mastodon.

It’s not that this kind of content wasn’t on #Twitter, but it got lost in a sea of outrage in my feed, which was organized by algorithms, promoted tweets & ads.

The lack of those algorithms & a new chance to curate an intentional list of follows has certainly helped too. So I’m really enjoying interactions here & learning a bit along the way. (It is the Internet, so always check the sources of course!)

Such a hopeful time of year. At #TablasCreek our #budbreak is 3-4 weeks later than the average of the last decade after our lovely wet, frosty winter. But now the sun is out, temps in the 70s, and it’s go time.

For a deep dive into how this compares to recent years and a bunch more pictures, check out this week’s #TablasBlog.

This is the most fascinating thing I’ve read this year.

It seems it’s common for people in hospices to have dreams that predict their death. And this is common knowledge in the industry but not widespread knowledge to most people.
