@Sheril It is a problem. That's why in addition to subscribing to my local newspaper I make a yearly donation to my local public broadcasting network, OPB (Oregon Public Broadcasting). Their website has no paywall.

opb.org/

Some other news sites without paywalls are NPR, PBS NewsHour and AP News.

USPS considers consolidating outgoing mail services in Medford and Eugene to a new regional center in Portland, cutting about 54 workers.

The Southern Oregon Local American Postal Workers Union #342 held a rally today against the proposed plan. Public meetings will be held in the affected cities on the 8th and 9th of August before a decision is made.

From OPB:

"Northern Lights expected to be visible in Washington, Oregon, 15 other states Thursday"

"A solar storm forecast for Thursday, July 13, is expected to give skygazers in more than a dozen American states a chance to glimpse the Northern Lights."

@ch0ccyra1n

Good suggestion!

I contacted OPB on April 11 (before they left ) and got a nice reply, part of which I shared here. More contacts will probably help!

I wrote to my local PBS station (OPB) to suggest a mastodon account. Part of the reply:

"We are currently exploring possible changes to our social media strategies and right now, everything is on the table. I can share with you that this is true of public media organizations nationally and there is, as you can imagine, quite a lot of discussion around Twitter's recent decisions. It all comes down to what will best serve our members and audience…"

If I were on birdsite, I'd explain to that the answer to the question is obvious to anyone living or visiting the .

Observant people will notice that around sunset the come flying in from all over, creating a sky full of tens of thousands of crows dancing about for a half hour before they settle into the urban blocks. Then, just before sunrise, they take to the skies, do their half-hour dance, then take off for the burbs.

This disgusting story about how Bend (Oregon) wants to treat others was the topic of today’s conversation with the youngest on the way to school:
“It was 10 degrees outside and Michael had no idea where he would be living in the next few weeks.”
