Thank you for reminding me about this! I had forgotten about hearing that it was becoming a national park. I spent a lot of time there in the summers as a kid; my dad really liked white-water rafting and took a part-time gig as a guide in the summer to fund his hobby, and my little brother and I spent weekends at the rafting company campground (the Rivermen? is that still operating?) catching salamanders and begging to go out on the next rafting trip.

I have noticed this bottleneck too, and wondered if there might be some way to build a website or app to help facilitate people trading labor, but I have no clue about the feasibility or where to even start. I wear thinking something that enabled people to match skills with needs, to act as a portfolio for samples of their work, to list local endorsements or mutual connections for some level of trust, but that sounds pretty daunting.

I didn't realize how similar they were to pawpaws! That's so interesting, thank you for this picture.

1 - I can't deal with the idea that the is NOT real, so I firmly refuse to look it up

2 - I cannot adequately express how much I fucking love this

Why would anyone want to associate inane internet chatter with birdsong when they could simply associate it with porn? Elon has a very large....brain, and he wants to make sure you think of it as often as he does.

Rumor has it that our thoughts fill an aching void in his soul that can otherwise only be filled with apartheid emeralds or NFTs, but science has yet to find a way to test this hypothesis.

Thanks for this post! Not only am I gladdened to read this story of success, but I'm super excited to learn about GLSEN. I have a trans teen in high school in rural America; this organization is exactly the kind of thing we need to be part of, and I had never heard of it before. Thank you so much!!

Seriously considering printing this out to keep in my bathroom as a reference for the morning. "What are we today and how do we best cope with that?"

Acknowledgement and acceptance are the first step towards change. I believe in you.

idk how else to express my appreciation for this except to tell you that I gazed upon it with love and admiration for a good minute, long enough that I made my own self uncomfortable with how happy this goofy picture made me. It feels like a true representation of the casual, homemade, "let's just try it!" vibe of lemmy. This is beautiful, thank you.

I'm 41f (going on 13 at times), and this is why my husband hates(loves) having me around the shop - all the mechanical everything is full of euphemisms and innuendo. "mating surfaces" 😂

trying so hard to politely save this to show my husband in the morning, but I'm about to wake him up giggling over how much he's going to love it, this is so silly

idk if you made this or are just reposting to share, but either way: thank you, I love it!
