If someone posts something pertinent to their religion which doesn't align with yours, there is nothing wrong with "liking" it and showing that you support them. They probably "liked" your religious-aligned post and you didn't even notice it because your religion is a majority.

The @sfgate.com parks team is on a heater lately with great stories, so I thought I'd highlight some of the big ones we're run recently.
First up, Sam Mauhay-Moore reported on an awful situation at Yosemite where park employees are being stripped of housing rights: www.sfgate.com/national-par...

Oregon's Cascade-Siskiyou National Monument is worth keeping an eye on in the next couple of years.
It's the only national monument mentioned by name in Project 2025, the administration's guidebook for public lands destruction.

Research shows 20-30 min outside lowers cortisol and improves mood.

The more things change the more they stay the same. Especially when you didn't learn your lessons the first time around.
A cartoon about anti-vaxers from the 1930s. The US currently has massive measles outbreaks right across the country. Measles was at a 34-year high in 2025, and it's looking like 2026 is going to be even worse. Thanks Trump.

Two guys in a ford Ecosport with Florida plates rolled up my street, got stuck, kept going, almost hit a bunch of cars, but eventually got parked. Their very important item they were out getting? Coors lite. Don't be like these two guys.
