Over 20 trillion gallons of water are expected to fall across California over the next 2 weeks.

That's enough water to cover a flat surface the size of California in over half a foot of water.

A lot of what's keeping average people above water is family and friend support. An extra $100, a friend babysitting. It makes the "just move to where it's cheaper" people even more sinister. A lot of people are being held up by the threads of community.

@Spoonflower @malladapted Wow! Killer customer service, will do!

I distinctly remember seeing a thread about cheaply printing research posters on fabric sometime in the last year or two… does anyone remember this?

[Senator Jeff Merkley @SenJeffMerkley]

I cannot vote for a deal that cuts community non-profits out of the environmental reviews, further burdens frontline communities with toxic fossil projects, runs a fossil gas pipeline over every existing environmental law, and rigs the court system to boot.

[Ed Markey @SenMarkey]

I am outraged, but not surprised by the news of yet another oil spill from the Keystone Pipeline. We've seen the same story play out year after year as they dangerously transport some of the dirtiest oil on the planet. We need answers and we need accountability now.

This is such a bummer

Did you know some woodboring pests can live 3 years in a single piece of firewood? This, my friends, is why we (me, @dntmovefirewood, etc.) are always asking you to NOT move firewood around - some of those pests can be #invasivespecies.
