Exhibit title: “Sweeter Than the Onions: Stories of Queer Resilience in Walla Walla"
“The presence of queer people in public spaces is not some woke agenda. It’s just people coming out and being honest with the public about who they are,” Brueggeman said.
Scientists have mapped one of the most hazardous spots on the globe in unprecedented detail: a 600-mile geologic boundary just off the #PacificNorthwest coast.
Along this fraught stretch, called the #CascadiaSubductionZone, 2 pieces of the #Earth’s crust slide against each other, building up stresses capable of unleashing a catastrophic 9.0-magnitude #earthquake & generating a #tsunami, w/waves as high as 40 feet.
…The entire area, which stretches from Northern #California to #Vancouver Island, is at risk. But the scientists found the geometry of the fault off the coast of #Washington, where the fault is flat & smooth, closer to the surface & extends farther onshore, may be particularly at risk.
…This #FaultZone is hazardous because it’s a “megathrust” #fault. One piece of the #Earth’s crust, a tectonic plate called the Juan de Fuca plate, dives down beneath the North American continental plate.
For #WaterfallWednesday I have this view of Narada Falls in Mount Rainier National Park (Washington State, USA). Wider views of the falls tend to look a bit the same, so I used a longer lens and picked out some details.

#US-Made M270 and #HIMARS Hammer Targets Inside #Russia, First Cross-Border Strikes Since #Biden Green Light
Ukrainian forces waited less than 24 hours after getting the green light from #Washington, #London, #Paris and #Berlin to hammer targets inside Russia with precision-guided munitions fired by top-end made-in-the-USA artillery, according to reports, firing dozens of long-range rocket salvoes across the border.
There was plenty of food and plenty of time, so there was no need to push one another aside (is that ever, really, the right thing to do?) nor take giant, hasty mouthfuls and gulp them down.
So they sociably grazed, enjoying the day, the surroundings, and the companionship of one another.
May the artwork take both you and the people to whom you send the cards to a place of welcoming, warmth, and home, and may you feel as if you could run about the yard of this house and play with the joy and freedom of a child.
"Deliberately grounded on a tiny reef in the #SouthChinaSea, part of an island chain claimed by the two Asian countries, the #BRPSierraMadre is now the unlikely base for a detachment of Filipino marines who stand guard over the atoll, scanning the turquoise waters for Chinese ships." #AyunginShoal#SecondThomasShoal#Philippines
#Washington’s focus on competition with #China since the mid-to-late 2010s sparked changes, the report says, and its operations with allies #Japan, the #Philippines and #Australia are more important.
The shift towards more frequent and larger exercises with more partners followed prior trends but along a much steeper trajectory that is set to continue beyond 2024. #SouthChinaSea
