Y'all! Read this editorial! Seriously. Even if this were not my newspaper (which it is) I'd say - Read this editorial! Note: Hobart was very much NOT some "surprisingly enlightened man of his time" or anything. He was a lifelong bachelor, a logger-- 1/2 upperrogueindependent.com/2026/09/30/1...

New month new art challenge! Going to give this Birdtober list a go, featuring me diving through all my photos. Minus one prompt that won't be photos. I bet you can guess which one. List is by @kaylafiskbirds.bsky.social (I just don't post on instagram anymore)

A prompt list featuring various characteristics instead of specific bird species to create from.

Good job, California. 15 states to go. No child should marry. A child who marries isn’t emancipated, her (and it’s usually a girl) new spouse becomes her guardian. If he abuses her, she cannot go to a domestic violence shelter. She cannot initiate a divorce. She can’t have her own money.

California bans child marriage, even with parental permission

Supporters hail ban on child marriage and companion bill to address forced marriages as “most comprehensive framework” in the U.S.

Yes every woman has been harassed, many assaulted. But every woman has also experienced invisible loss from moments she avoided harassment. She felt a space becoming unsafe, so she left, while men stayed on. And in leaving, she lost: opportunities, experiences, learning, promotions, even simply fun.

This Pacific Baza appeared totally oblivious to us as it hunted its breakfast. It's the first time I've seen one with a frog and definitely one of the highlights of today's 55 species early morning walk. #birds #wildoz #brisbane

This aligns exactly with what we know about noncitizen voting; it is extremely rare (9 noncitizen votes in MN out of 3,253,920 in the 2024 election, or 0.0002%), and when it occurs it’s most often green card holders who were mistakenly told they could vote (none of these people are undocumented).
