It was wonderful to see the Washed Ashore exhibit at the Oregon Coast Aquarium this weekend - massive sculptures made from plastic items that washed up on Oregon's beaches. Loved it, but I hope to live in a world some day where this art is impossible due to lack of materials.

Protested today. Great turnout in the rain. Does it matter, to show up to stuff like this? Absolutely. Imagine the alternative -- the horrors of the current executive branch and NO ONE showing up. It DOES matter.

Very glad but did note that one article about this referred to “tens of thousands” of employees whereas the fork memo ‘em went to millions. Unclear what that means - only relevant for union members maybe?
Update: A federal judge in Boston extended his pause on the Trump administration's "Fork in the Road" offer to federal employees until he issues a subsequent decision.

Great way to start the morning, first day back after the holiday weekend: Arriving at the office, taking stuff out of my backpack to discover all of it was covered with mushed rotten banana. Guess I was too busy to eat that banana I brought to work a week ago.
