A 72yo family friend told me she was very sick but didn’t want to test for Covid because she had to sing in a commercial for her business today and having Covid would complicate things.
So instead,she went and sang around all those people

Filling me with life are these veterans who continue to serve by fighting the regime. I got to thank them for their service. They asked what I do, I said, “public health, injury prevention.” One replied, “oof, you guys are really under attack, stay strong.” Lovely moment ♥️

In summary it’s a shame, no pun intended. What we’re avoiding is not the judgement of others, but the judgement of ourselves.
There is a lot to learn in leaving our hangups and clothes in the locker room to enjoy the beauty of our skin and the experience of being human.

"The 'Fix Our Forests Act' would allow forestry projects to bypass steps such as public comment and environmental review. It would speed up logging on projects as large as 10,000 acres — enough land to fit the University of Oregon campus 34 times over." lookouteugene-springfield.com/story/enviro...
Out-of-state senators vote on forest ‘fix’ for places like Lane County
A U.S. Senate committee has advanced the Fix Our Forests Act — a sweeping forest-management bill that could reshape logging and wildfire policy in heavily forested areas like Lane County.

Any experts want to weigh in on how these AI Warehouses are shooting our power bills through the roof?
I know they are using extreme amounts of electricity & water, but WHY are those costs being shifted to communities?
Explain it to me like I’m in kindergarten.
