“Maple Rising”
The Bigleaf Maples are in bloom too.
Washington Post Editorial Board comes out against social media company responsibility
Much as I have fought for extreme free speech in the past, this seems a grave misreading of the facts to me. And I doubt the Bezos factor is a coincidence here. I think I’m done reading WaPo.
Renewed my micro.blog subscription for another year. Top reasons (1) it just works (2) friendly responsive developer (3) intentional feature mix (4) interesting people not chasing influencerhood (5) one-click AI kill switch.
“Spring Sunshine”
Rare enough around here but very nice when it happens.

“Hunter in the Trees”
Did not get a lot of great shots on this trip, but here’s one from my night hike out.
Mushroom, moss, and ferns: Oregon trifecta.

Survived my one-night backpacking trip. Hiking was fine (38 miles), camping less so. I think I may have aged out of sleeping in the woods.
