Definitely seeing bird flu. Rehabbers in Oregon are NOT ALLOWED to take duck or geese per ODFW due to how contagious it is. Dove Lewis may take for euthanasia, but pls call them to confirm before handling any birds. And do NOT take inside the hospital. Staff likely to meet you outside.
PROBABLE H5N1 outbreak in Hillsboro area, multiple places are reporting sick/dying/dead geese.

DO NOT TOUCH THEM. Report any sick/dying/dead geese here.

I want to thank all the veterans who have served this country, but especially the transgender veterans who served and still desire to serve in spite of being treated like 2nd class citizens by the very country they defend. Thank you all for your service.

Last Saturday my little community raised $10,000 for Feeding America, which they turn into 100,000 meals. I run a meme account and have done more for the hungry in this country than the president, who is intentionally starving women and children for no reason.

Thoughts with the families of the 3 crew who were on the UPS flight from Louisville to Honolulu. We all depend on folks like them to deliver essential goods to us, and it’s hard when something goes so horribly wrong as it clearly did today. 😢

I so loved seeing the beginnings of this and this is perfect.
I am so flabbergasted & tearful & grateful & JUST REALLY EMOTIONAL over everything that’s happened around this so-special pup since this saga started on…good god, how was it only Wednesday morning?

That it has meant as much to so many of you fills me up to the brim.

SNAP is not just for the unemployed.

It’s for anyone who’s living below the poverty line, which sadly includes a lot of people who are working full time jobs.

But here’s the thing… even if it were “just” for the unemployed… they still deserve food!

No one deserves to starve.

Grown up MK here… I loved puzzles as a kid and we were definitely “gifted” puzzles that were missing pieces. Really no fun to have gotten those.

*Fully functional.
*You've counted & tested the parts & labelled it in some (non-permanent) way attesting to the fact that it's all there (don't force volunteers or ill-paid staff to do that work).
*Needs a little cleaning? Clean it.
*And don't forget big kids!

"Actual stuff"=not money, not from a wish list where you don't handle/deliver the items, but previously-owned stuff, lightly used or NWT.

1) Make sure it's in ACTUAL good shape. Hold clothes up to the light, flip through the books, test any electronics, etc. NO ONE WANTS SOMEONE ELSE'S RATTY STUFF.

Before you buy Girl Scout cookies you should know they support transgender girls and reject donations from anti-transgender organizations. Then buy a couple more boxes

The reason Mike Johnson is able to keep the House closed and not pass bills to pay the military or fund the government is because Trump is going to circumvent congress and illegally steal that money from other government programs. All to avoid releasing the Epstein files.
