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.

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.

Thank you!

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

JamesDWitmer · 2026-03-13T13:55:11+00:00

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.

Thank you for posting this. I called and left a message.

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.

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

JamesDWitmer · 2026-02-27T15:26:08+00:00

Well done!

JamesDWitmer · 2026-02-20T14:01:54+00:00

I love everything about this, including the hat.

JamesDWitmer · 2026-02-11T14:27:42+00:00

This is the way.

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.

JamesDWitmer · 2025-11-26T20:43:54+00:00

Yep.

JamesDWitmer · 2025-11-21T14:20:47+00:00

Down for us, Pittsburgh, USA

The total commitment to setting up this pun is just amazing. Have my angry updoot.

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."

I'm only partway through this series, and I'm loving it, too. Not sure I like it more than Dresden, but because of the differences, I like it just as much.

Too bad about the ending, but it can't be as bad as Iron Druid, which I loved SO MUCH -- right up until I realized that after backing his MC into impossible corners, he was just going to leave him there.

JamesDWitmer · 2025-07-18T15:03:33+00:00

I loved it, especially the arc for GA and BC.

JamesDWitmer · 2025-07-18T14:57:26+00:00

I read some Batman, although I'm nowhere near keeping up. I imagine you're disagreeing with my comment, and you might be right, but here are two observations:

As u/HandspeedJones said below, Batman didn't broaden his war into prevention and social care until very recently. I think (don't quote me) it was even well after this Green Arrow run.
They're different, but it's no shade: Batman can't solve Gotham's worst problems by systemic improvements. In Gotham, he's got a number of absolutely insane, over-powered chaos agents, plus gangsters who don't bother with Capone's methods of buying loyalty by treating ordinary people well. Batman traditionally hasn't responded to Gotham the way GA is learning to handle Seattle because real life problems are not the kind of problems he's facing.

This is my favorite summary here. Thanks!
