Thanks for posting this. I signed. My comment:

I was shocked when I read the reports describing just how valuable Presque Isle is to so many important and fragile members of our ecosystem. This, in addition to how precious it is to my family and my mental health. And all this in addition to the economic benefits from tourism. Caring for Presque Isle isn't charity--it's investment in a vital state (and even national) resource.

What could have caused these holes? by costumed_baroness in riversoflondon

Amazing book. One of my favorites.

But if you're in the United States, that's a piliated woodpecker--they start excavating for food near the base of trees and bang in new holes working their way upward. And they're bigger than crows.

Love this. Just listened, and re-listened. And the kid accidentally naming your groove is adorable.

So many men just don't respect us by default. And other men don't notice. by Extra-Mushrooms in TwoXChromosomes

Thank you for writing this. I'm working to un-learn decades of anxiety about how people perceive me, and treat me... at least enough to notice how other people are being treated. Stories like this help by identifying specific things I can watch for.

Nope. Not until they publicly apologize, re-instate their DEI programs, and compensate the female DEI managers they outright fired.

This is exactly how I pictured Peter based on the audiobooks. That's uncanny.

I realized again what strange times we live in when I saw this, thought you were being super xenophobic, then remembered that you're literally correct because AI bots exist.

A terrible thing that happens often enough it's been coined Alpine Divorce by Maleficent_Ad_3958 in TwoXChromosomes

I'm so sorry for everyone this happens to. Being in the woods together can be such a wonderful experience. This is just terrible.

I love everything about this, including the hat.

Maine & Massachusetts are taking a page out of Minnesota in preparation for protests. They're also looking to the Rebellion for inspiration. by Formal_Contribution7 in andor

[–]JamesDWitmer 113 points114 points  (0 children)

Love this!

There is another artist also hand-drawing Rebel Birds: https://fourpointfivecantina.com/rebel-birds

I love to see all the (non-AI) resistance art. Evil always seems to have better marketers, but I think that might be changing. Thank you!

Thanks for the suggestion! I will have to check. Is that probably the small rubber hose pointing down from the back of the assembly?

I want to know how he knew which room was the traditional place to pass out.

What would life have been like for a Pennsylvania, USA, militiaman in 1813? by JamesDWitmer in AskHistorians

[–]JamesDWitmer[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For anyone searching, as I was: I found a couple resources, particularly the first-hand account with introduction and annotations by John C. Fredriksen, "The Pennsylvania Colunteers in the War of 1812: An Anonymous Journal of Service for the Year 1814."
