I saw someone else's version of this list without alt text. Every community includes low vision, blind, and otherwise disabled folks who make extensive use of screen readers, so I've created a revised version that includes alt text.

Our fears are justified.

While most songbirds have left the Rocky Mountains for the freezing times ahead - one special exception remains. The antics of American Dippers are so enjoyable, they make up for the lack of many other #birds.

This week, Omar El Akkad won a National Book Award for his best-seller, ‘One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This.’

ICYMI: @mehdirhasan.bsky.social interviewed the author earlier this year to discuss his book on the Gaza genocide.

‘One Day, Everyone Will Have Always Been Against This’
Mehdi talks to award-winning novelist Omar El Akkad on his new book about Gaza - and how so many have shamelessly looked away.

Anybody got a Freewrite Traveler they're willing to part with? Lily could sure use one!
This is not a life-threatening/emergency ask compared to other things I’ve asked for assistance with, but I’m looking for someone who is willing to rehome their Freewrite Traveler. I used to have one that I got for my book tour in 2023 but I sold it last year when we were preparing for homelessness.

Apparently the Great Redwood Trail, the planned 320-mile multiuse trail between Marin and Humboldt Bay in Arcata, has been taking some local blowback.

Their board meeting is running right now, and if you want to Zoom in and speak in support of the project, it would be appreciated!

Hey friends! 11 days left in November and we have $618 left to raise to cover November bills before December bills are due. Being laid off twice was not my dream for 2025.

Will you please share this if you see it? Thank you for helping!

I know it's a tad early but I know those bitches with the buckets will be out soon. Don't gove them a penny. The volunteers may not know but the salvation army is no ally and actively combative and harmful to many queer minorities especially during the holiday season
