It was used to store ammunition during WWII! This land was an army base until it was turned into a wildlife refuge in 2000.

Can I ask how you found this post? If I got picked up by a feed I’d love to know which one so I can follow it too.

I bought a pair of thick Smartwool hiking socks in college that lasted at least 15 years. But my newer Smartwool socks don't have that kind of staying power and I'm mad about it!!

Also thinking of the furloughed federal workers who care for this beautiful place. 💚

ICE deported him anyways.

They literally put a man who was at death’s door on a plane to Costa Rica.

Doctors there found he had encephalopathy, rhabdomyolysis and the inability to eat on his own.

What happened to him in ICE custody to cause this?

He died a few weeks after deportation:

My helpful anxiety brain is very prone to spiraling about all the things I could/should do until I flame out and crawl into bed, but making lasagna? That, I can do. And in fact there are very few problems that can't be improved at least a little bit by making a lasagna. Put me in, coach.
