Buried in a Senate budget bill is a massive giveaway to corporate developers and fossil fuel companies.
It forces the sale of at least 2 million acres of Forest Service and Bureau of Land Management land in 11 Western states *every 60 days* until millions of acres are gone.

I also am curious about the remodeling impacts and that Cleveland, which was in TERRIBLE condition 5 years ago when I had students there, still isn't fully secure in getting any work done. I have zero idea on how that ties into the dual enrollment discussion

I just keep thinking of my very good career Marine friend (now retired) who's most proud thing was supporting tsunami relief in Thailand. I agree: at what point do the Marines say No.

Join a book club or knitting circle. Take a meal to your neighbor.Go pick up trash in your neighborhood. Put your energy into the people directly around you and they will give it back to you. The only way out is through and all we have is each other.

I totally hear this. And also this is the only good parking for the nearby businesses within a few blocks, particularly because the other two nearby corrals were removed for biketown parking.

So much subtlety in this conversation. But one thing that hit me when we moved here & reminds me every time we visit Honolulu is how I really don't see the Aunties & Uncles integrated into the social fabric here like Oahu. It's cultural in more ways than one.

So maybe we actually do all kinda live in bubbles of our own making. And as long as those bubble walls can bend and get bigger and not break and move as needed, well that's ok....

Turns out the past two years of recruiting has resulted in a group that is all about the party and less about what it means to actually care for each other. Including pledging a member of the IDF (that's when The Boy stopped spending free time at the house) 3/
