Ya, hopefully OP is in a safe place if need be.

Wow, that looks a lot like a China themed sign for a hotel/restaurant in my little town. The sign used to have a Great Horned Owl family living in it. I miss them.

Crunchy chicken gotta have it

I read the article, and I am also not really sure what the author was trying to accomplish. Right now (in the US at least) is not very similar to 2008 and I am unsure how many “lessons learned” for folks like myself would be useful.

I am unsure how to best do the pronouncing, but en Español: por favor (last part of favor is more pronounced) gracias (first part is more pronounced) In English: please thank you (pronounce more the part that makes sense for the situation)

What about you :)

You may have a local or regional org to help, and there are multiple national groups that cover a variety of bases. Legal funds, advocacy, news. Pick your passion.

Mug cloud?

This was in the USA, but a long time ago. The cops were going to get a warrant supposedly but I had rented from that person for some time, in different units, and I think they made a judgement call knowing that is was going to happen, and if they approved I wouldn’t have to follow up on the warrant. That particular landlord was actually really great. I’m not sure if they made the right decision but I didn’t have to go to court or anything, which I would have if a warrant to search was made.

I have an uncle who was an attorney who lives in Philadelphia and did a lot of work on tenant’s rights in the 70s, but this was in a different state and definitely didn’t have as great a situation. Maybe it is better now.

I worked in a high school for a number of years where my role was to manage things like after school programming, spring break trips, and certain things during the school day. We would also do weekend adventure trips when possible. At one point during this, I had an awful roommate who was into a lot of illicit substances.

During my time living with said roommate, I took students on a two night backpacking trip over the weekend. I came back to see that my room had been (from my perspective) ransacked. I could not reach my roommate, and decided that one of their drug buddies may have robbed me. Later that evening, roommate came back and I learned them and a friend got too wild, cops were called, and a search was performed on the entire apartment. Including my room. Nothing was found in my room, but I had a lot of putting away to do. At least I was not robbed, I guess.

My landlord called me the next day to tell me they were called by cops for consent because I was unreachable, and landlord knew I would have nothing to hide, but felt terrible and began immediate eviction on roommate.

I live in an area that was part of the sagebrush rebellion, I work in places that Claude Dallas did his thing, and it is very conservative here. I am also a federal land management employee. There is no push for this here. I notice my state isn’t named in the article, mostly higher population states, but I think that this movement will have difficulty getting traction with most right wing land users due to concerns about what it will cost them. Ranchers get a pretty good deal on public land, and it may be telling that mining and timber groups are no longer involved.

At any rate, this “coalition” is definitely something to keep watching. I used to live in New Mexico and there was, at that time, a ranching propaganda publication that really stoked fears about things that just didn’t exist. People are driven to decide on fear and we have to provide an answer to that.

Wait, so significant portions of the US population will need identification beyond a state-issued ID? If so I feel like this hasn’t been in the news or I’ve really missed a big headline.

Great post for [email protected] also!

Where I live, we are still in the winter/spring cycle, so we have a mud season. That is mainly what this is referencing. But to your point, we have been very fortunate with our winter precipitation and our positioned to be better off than much of the western US. I hope you get some moisture and don’t have a repeat of what I saw in Portugal ❤️

That was pretty helpful! I have heard that the ice on some of the flat land lakes can be a few feet thick, and up higher can be 10+. I guess that is enough!

I also appreciated the polar bear weight unit 😄

Near me, I see folks out on ice like this. I always wonder about the safety (especially when they have machines out there) but it looks like fun! I hope you can get out there sometime soon.

I don’t understand why I can’t see this on my instance, but I can on yours. Awesome picture (and jay)!

These look pretty adorable.

Colkegan from Santa Fe Spirits in pretty interesting. NM is blue for now.

Mull is supposedly no longer being developed.

Blind horses are so handsy… We had a blind pony as kids and found he did better with stuffed animals tied in the barn. We slept with them a couple days before hand and it changed his behavior a lot.
