yesterday it came to light that calvin robinson, a priest who recently lost his license for giving an elon-esque nazi salute at a pro life conference, owns a video game site called god is a geek. today the site's entire staff quit in protest aftermath.site/god-is-a-gee...
In a statement posted to God Is A Geek, the site’s staff reiterated that Robinson did not actively participate in its operations, but that they nonetheless felt compelled by his recent actions to cease publication entirely.

“We have run the site independently of Calvin for several years now in the hopes that we would not have to lose the hard work we have poured into it, the access we have worked hard for, and the relationships we have developed,” God Is A Geek’s editorial team wrote. “However, it has become increasingly clear that we can no longer separate the site from the owner. As a result, the entire editorial team will be stepping down with immediate effect. We will create a new site and our future content will be published there, bereft of any connection to Calvin Robinson. It will be hard to start again, hard to walk away from the work we’ve done here off our own backs, but this is the right thing to do.”

It's #waterfallwednesfay! Today I'll post a famous favorite from the Columbia Gorge here in #Oregon. #MultnomahFalls! This day we had an air inversion, so that the top (620 ft (189 m)) of the falls was not visible. And from the top, the bottom was below the clouds! #📷 #scape #hiking #waterfall
The top of Multnomah Falls of Oregon, in the Columbia River Gorge. The top of the falls is 620 ft (189 m) high. That day an air inversion caused the clouds to hide the top of the falls. But from the very top of the falls from an observation deck, you could not see the bottom either! Only a sea of clouds that the giant waterfall disappeared into! 
From top to bottom of the image: the top of a tall cliff face with green pine trees on it reaches into the sky on the left side. The sky above the trees is hidden in grey clouds. Below the upper clouds a thin dark line can be seen across the image, which is the opposite side of the big Gorge in Washington State. Below the dark line are more gray clouds that completely obscure the Columbia River and the rest of the huge Gorge. Back at the cliff face on the left, mosses and ferns cling to the edge. In the distance below are a few tall trees poking up out of the clouds along the cliffs. In the lower left is the edge of the huge waterfall, plummeting into the clouds to disappear. The water has a green tint that turns into a frothy white as it drops away. In the foreground at lower right is a small bit of land before the cliff, with a few green plants on it.This view is from a bridge that crosses Multnomah Falls of Oregon, after it drops most of the way from it's top.
From top to bottom of the image: soft gray clouds obscure the view completely across the image. Toward the left side a huge white column of water drops from the clouds as a waterfall. Further left is a dark face of cliff side which is almost engulfed in clouds and waterfall spray. To the right of the waterfall the cliff face continues, and on the right side is a gentle waterfall that follows the contour of the cliff, then encounters an obstacle and wraps to the right before continuing falling toward the base of the cliffs.
The big falls to the left becomes wider, and releases more spray as it drops to a base before falling it's final distance below where this photo is taken. The main drop ends in a large pool of water with a small boulder sitting in it, that the water flows around. On the left side, in front of the pool is the top of the last cliff the falls descends to it's end. The cliff is covered in green mosses and small plants that live in the spray of the waterfall. The cliff on this side descends out of sight. 
The cliff on the right side also has a lot of greenery growing on it, and the ground appears more like rubble before it drops away. Between the two cliffs at the bottom of the image, the main stream of the waterfall empties the pool above it, and the water drops away toward the right.
