Public lands in the US are in grave danger right now. Republicans in Congress want to sell off the lands shown in these images for profit, a betrayal of future generations and values of conservation. Please call your Senators to support public lands! #nature #conservation #publiclands #usa

Road tripping through Olympic and Cascades National Parks. More giant wild parks please.

The Internet Archive has rolled out an extremely effective new tool for searching for old Geocities GIFs. I'd apologize for what I'm about to do to this website as a result, but that would be a lie, because I won't feel sorry at all gifcities.org

🌱 This is 'Earth Angel'. I planted her in part shade just to test how she would do. My plant isn't overly bushy, but each stem has multiple roses and buds. She gets a lot of sun in the Autumn and Winter due to her placement beneath 3 deciduous trees. #bloomscrolling #garden #Zone8b

NEW: Trump Administration Abandons Deal With Northwest Tribes to Restore Salmon The administration has canceled a deal, signed under President Biden, that would have enabled the removal of four hydroelectric dams along the Columbia River that are considered harmful to salmon. With @opb.org

Somebody should remind Trump that the Lower Snake River Dams provide carbon-free power — then he'd destroy 'em for sure! As it is, he just told Columbia Basin salmon to drop dead. www.whitehouse.gov/fact-sheets/...

Yes, national news outlets need support. But your local newsrooms need YOUR support.

OHSU has named Dr. Shereef Elnahal, a Harvard-educated former Biden administration health official, as its sole finalist to lead the institution amid significant financial and cultural challenges

#ThrowbackThursday to when I was in Colombia creeping on this Green Honeycreeper 🪶

I miss the clouds of fireflies and sunset skies interrupted with mayfly static. Our insects are in trouble and it is our fault. Soon it will be us who are in trouble.

The NW Examiner has finally(!) weighed in on River Pig Saloon/NW 13th public plaza controversy. Photo caption confirms that people in nearby apartment buildings don't like noise, but surprisingly blames it on "late-night gatherings of classic car buffs"

Final Version 2 (lmao) This is not the be-all end-all guide to gardening! It's a quick-start guide for beginners. You may have included different questions in there, and you're welcome to make your own version. Feel free to share wherever you'd like, (please tag me if on social media) 🥰

A female Western Gull was recorded riding 150km in a garbage truck from San Francisco to a compost facility in Central CA, probably to forage. TWICE. An innovator, an icon, a genius. This is one of my favorite @waterbirdsociety.bsky.social papers I've ever handled as managing editor #ornithology

Honeyberry, strawberry, red currant harvest today. Eating it all immediately. 🍓 🌱 #zone8b

I grew this sexy ass strawberry 🍓 🌱

Best part of the day. Quality time with the garden. 🌱 #zone8b #bloomscrolling

For more than a year, I’ve been writing essays about Punk Planet, the miracle of a magazine I worked on for 13 years. All that time I’ve been dreading writing this ending, because the reality is this: Sometimes things end and you never get over it. dansinker.com/posts/202…

Look. At. This. (!). A fungus spore landed on this weevil. Grew inside and caused it to climb to the top of this plant- while the fungus killed it. Consumed its body. Used that energy to shoot up a red fruiting body to release more spores. To zombify more weevils. A mind controlling killer fungus.

West Papua’s Indigenous people have called for a boycott of KitKat, Smarties and Aero chocolate, Oreo biscuits and Ritz crackers, Pantene and Herbal Essences, over alleged ecocide in their territory

The Bullock’s Orioles have returned!

A photo from today's walk: scilla peruviana (aka Cuban lily) and bee 🐝 #photography #bee #flowers #FlowerReport #gardening #garden #FloralFriday #FlowersOnFriday #bloomscrolling

The first lily of the season! 🌱

A product that is fully aware of everything around me and my life sounds hella obtrusive.

Freedom, OK (05-18-2025). #okwx

I'm in line nearly every Sunday for Starter Bread. They are exceptional. #BreadChurch

🌱 Haven't been outside much lately because it has been chilly, windy and rainy. I need to get out anyway because I'm missing the beautiful blooms, like this peony bobbing in the wind. #bloomscrolling #garden #Zone8b

3rd year and oldest part of our garden 🌱 Can’t believe how full and lush it has become. At least 39 species are planted in here, majority natives. #zone8b

Administrative lapses in a key Portland anti-displacement policy is leaving affordable apartments vacant for months at a time, costing housing nonprofits and delaying access to stable housing for prospective renters. @jonathanmbach.bsky.social reports:

🌱 Time for some #bloomscrolling. The first rose to bloom in our #garden this year is 'Koko Loko'. #Zone8b

First hike up Eagle Creek since the devastating 2017 fire. Unfortunately Punch Bowl falls, pictured here, is inaccessible due to hundreds of logs damming up the amphitheater drainage. Still beautiful from above. #oregon #pnw #waterfalls #landscapes #photography #hiking #outdoors #nature

Ballots in the races are due on May 20.
