Silence equals death.
It was true in the 80s. It is true today.

I have never had mail from the EFTPS in nearly 60 years.

Federal workers, when you are asked to Loyalty Pledge, it might feel dishonest. But, they lie and are asking you to make an illegal pledge.
It is not insubordination to disoney an unlawful order.
Reframe it. See yourself as the hero you are in this moment.
Keep your job. It will save lives.

It's about my sister and, by extension, others chronically angry at me just for existing in this world beside them.

We are doing our own salmon count in our bitty stream.
In the 70s, a survey found 5 different anadromous fishes here.
Last year, we counted maybe 8 chum.
This year, 60 corpses. Chum and coho.
