Whatcom County friends, have u noticed a difference at Trader Joe’s, Costco, WinCo or other stores that Canadian shoppers frequent? Whatcom County is incredibly dependent on their $ and losing their business will have significant impact on our economy.
Dead bird on a Saturday night
Is that on us?
Hey friends, real folks, individuals. If we’re all following a bunch of orgs and groups and news, we won’t see each other much on here, so wanna create and join a group or something?
Seriously

Taking time for music and beauty wherever I can find it this weekend. Even in times of horror and despair it exists. The Living Arrows trio last night at Welcome Road Winery.
Yeah, I’m with ya. It’s nuts we got here the first time around and I can’t believe we’re gonna go through another fucking 4 years. Scarier this time though.
Awesome, thank you! I really appreciate it.
Apparently (according to my college age kiddo), Anna is right. It was never actually a law because it seemed like it didn’t need to be, that it was common sense. It was a law that felons couldn’t vote, so maybe that’s what made me think they couldn’t be president. But that law has changed.
Relatable
But I remember learning in school that if you had a felony you couldn’t run for president. Did that law change at some point? Or maybe it was never actually law? The other things I remember were that you had to be over a certain age and had to be a US citizen.
I like not seeing ads, and the format and navigation are decent. I don’t like that I’m being followed by so many accounts that don’t seem like real people and I haven’t figured out a way to stop that from happening so I’ve just been blocking them. I couldn’t figure out how to get set up on mastodon
Genuinely curious, so felons CAN be president, but can’t own a gun, but can be the commander in chief of essentially ALL the guns? Did any other rules about who can run for president change? And when was it decided that yes, being a felon is ok?

Me too!!!
For my community and the world: focus my work even more on needs , helping, lightening. And connection. Continue to donate to ACLU and EJI. Write, speak up, challenge, and question. Record what’s happening and make sure people know where I stand.
For me: more sleep, more water and tea, vegetables, and fruit. Read more, scroll less. Outdoor time daily. More music. Dance and walk and stretch more. Write, journal, photograph and create.
Hey there! Welcome. Be prepared for a lot of bots to follow you right away. That’s the big negative for me so far, but I just block them all. There’s probably a way to set up approval for follow requests though..
Woot! That’s gotta feel good. I can see your posts from blue sky too. Pretty cool!
Excited to see this documentary on Sunday at the Pickford Cinema. Libraries rule. And I’m damn lucky to work at one. I’m a a kid in a candy store, a rebel, a nerd, a social worker and a fierce guardian and braggart all rolled into one. And a lifelong patron and fan. youtu.be/61ou8F0nXI0
Library gets a hug
The National Archives is looking for volunteers with an increasingly rare skill: Reading cursive.
Just struggling to find words these days. Is it menopause, the state of the world, early onset Alzheimer’s, wine, or just sheer exhaustion at the scope of the stupidity that apparently abounds?
