At Yaquina Head, one of the most popular spots on the Oregon coast, federal firings culled a third of the park's staff. Park hours have already been reduced, and lighthouse tours have been canceled. "Everyone is quite concerned."

Is there a single person who thinks political fundraising text messages do more good than harm to Democrats?

Since public lands are being dismantled and un-staffed; be sure to stay on trail in the Redwoods and off downed logs (which is also off-trail), since they are critical parts of the forest.

K thanks.

Dentist: “Sam, your night guard is insane. You’re a super grinder. ALL of this is you grinding. I maybe think I’ve seen one other who grinds more than you.”

Me: “…. So you’re saying I’m really good at it 💁🏼‍♀️?”

As a PNWer with seasonal depression in the winter, when the sun finally shines I think “Maybe the world isn’t such a desolate, pointless, cruel place”

And then I remember who’s in the White House.

Got my first "Violating an Executive Order" and "I'll make sure you lose federal funding" parent threat today for teaching "DEI" books in our upcoming "Liberty and Justice" themed unit. Even in "Blue" Massachusetts we're dealing with this.

Anyway, don't obey in advance, and don't obey later.

Elopement inquiry 🧵

“Hi, this is me filling out a contact form for elopement photography”

Me: “Awesome! I wanna make sure we align and answer any questions you have/go over full pricing options so let’s get on a required consult call! Here’s a link”

The lowest lowball inquiry I’ve ever had as an elopement photographer. A thread. 🧵

1️⃣ Couple inquires about a local elopement. They selected "I've seen starting pricing" in the contact form.
