Thank you for reminding me about this! I had forgotten about hearing that it was becoming a national park. I spent a lot of time there in the summers as a kid; my dad really liked white-water rafting and took a part-time gig as a guide in the summer to fund his hobby, and my little brother and I spent weekends at the rafting company campground (the Rivermen? is that still operating?) catching salamanders and begging to go out on the next rafting trip.

I have noticed this bottleneck too, and wondered if there might be some way to build a website or app to help facilitate people trading labor, but I have no clue about the feasibility or where to even start. I wear thinking something that enabled people to match skills with needs, to act as a portfolio for samples of their work, to list local endorsements or mutual connections for some level of trust, but that sounds pretty daunting.

I didn't realize how similar they were to pawpaws! That's so interesting, thank you for this picture.

Obsolex? Xbsolete? Obsolexence?

It's kinda hilarious how just adding an X in randomly makes it seem dirty somehow. Is this just an American thing, all English speakers, or is there something inherently naughty about letter X??

genuinely going to print this out in the morning to hang on my mirror, I cannot think of a better morning affirmation

1 - I can't deal with the idea that the is NOT real, so I firmly refuse to look it up

2 - I cannot adequately express how much I fucking love this

Why would anyone want to associate inane internet chatter with birdsong when they could simply associate it with porn? Elon has a very large....brain, and he wants to make sure you think of it as often as he does.

Rumor has it that our thoughts fill an aching void in his soul that can otherwise only be filled with apartheid emeralds or NFTs, but science has yet to find a way to test this hypothesis.

Thanks for this post! Not only am I gladdened to read this story of success, but I'm super excited to learn about GLSEN. I have a trans teen in high school in rural America; this organization is exactly the kind of thing we need to be part of, and I had never heard of it before. Thank you so much!!

Seriously considering printing this out to keep in my bathroom as a reference for the morning. "What are we today and how do we best cope with that?"

Why does the computer make you conclude OP is in their 50s? OP says in the title that they're 46. I'm 41, and we had this computer at my rural elementary school.
