I just think women should be able to get educations without a constant threat of sexual violence.

Mt Thielsen as viewed from the punice desert in Crater Lake National Park, Oregon

ordering the pumice desert where the photo is taken. There are some clouds to the right of the peak in an otherwise blue sky. The pumice desert is not a desert due to lack of rainfall. Instead, the volcanic rock soil makes it difficult for vegetation to take root, even grass. Trees grow sporadically within this “desert” with grass find more success, but it is patchy.

Atop Garfield Peak are a scattering of rocks. Atop one rock is a chipmunk. Crater Lake National Park, Oregon

The dirt ground is broken up in various places by protruding rocks. A chipmunk cautiously waits near the top of the largest rock in the frame. There are quite a few humans around not in frame. Vegetation grows sporadically up on this peak at around 8,000 feet in elevation: grass, shrub, and wind-stunted tree.

Looking from Crater Lake’s southern rim towards Upper Klamath Lake

In the foreground is generally rocky ground with some grass and sporadic trees growing on it. As the slope descends thick forest envelopes the ground. Forested hills and ridges dot the far landscape. In the far distance in the flat land, forest gives way to ranch land and beyond that Upper Klamath Lake. Blue sky by and large though some clouds can be seen on the horizon.

Garfield Peak Trail, Crater Lake National Park, Oregon

A dirt trail zig zags from a grassy slope across a saddle on the crater rim on to a steep rocky slope. Trees grow wherever they can find enough soil to thrive, which seems intermittent above 7,500 feet in elevation along the mostly steep crater rim. There is a puddle along the trail from at least two days worth of showery weather, but it was sunny blue skies this particular morning.

Crater Lake National Park, Oregon

The blue waters of Crater Lake become turquoise abruptly in the shallows. This mostly steep section of the Crater rim supports little vegetation. But some trees have taken root in the less steep slopes.

Crater Lake National Park, Oregon

A clear blue sky (excepting the little bit of cumulus nimbus clouds barely visible just above the crater rim in the distance) is reflected by the lake. Wizard Island rises above the water. Trees grow from the steep slope going down to the water in the foreground.

Crater Lake National Park, Oregon

A shallow stream winds its way through what visually looks like a canyon if trees (but the ground is actually pretty level here). There ate debris logs and branches in the stream. All the vegetation is verdant. The dirt trail makes a brief appearance in the lower right. It the distance the tops of some trees are illuminated by sunlight.

Castle Crest flower meadow, Crater Lake National Park, Oregon

In the immediate foreground is grass and a gray rock in the lower right corner. To the left just past the grass is shrubbery with an evergreen tree rising in the middle of it, but still quite small compared to the other trees nearby. Another juvenile tree, on the right, grew at an angle before becoming nearly vertical. The more mature forest is seen on the right and encircles the grass and shrubbery meadow.

Castle Crest flower meadow, Crater Lake National Park, Oregon

A small boulders sits in the middle of a meadow too late in the season for an explosion of blooming flowers. Beyond the grass to the left is a short wall of shrubbery. At the rear of the meadow rises tall evergreens, the tops of which are being kissed by the sun in blue skies.

Godfrey Glen Trail, Crater Lake National Park, Oregon

A gravel trail wends its way through mixed forest, the trail having wooden borders to mark it. Early morning condensation rises from the trail. A tree partially blocks the sun, but not enough to prevent a blue artifact appearing in the lower right corner. The sky is clear.

The Pinnacles, Crater Lake National Park, Oregon

Erosion has led to jagged teeth of hardened rock to sprout from a strep slope of volcanic ash. The valley below is thick with evergreen trees. Trees and meadow lie at the top of the canyon. The sun lights up most of the ground in the photo through a break in mostly cloudy skies.

A forested region of the crater rim slopes down to the lake. One of the tree trunks hosts some moss. In the lake the Phantom Ship rock outcrop rises from the water. The sky is mostly cloudy with a streak of blue running through it.

Crater Lake National Park, Oregon

View of a near vertical cliff, with some green moss clinging to its walk, that meets sloped ground at its base that goes down to the base. The top of the cliff hosts evergreen trees. Evergreen trees also sprout sporadically on the slope. The lake sports a light blue color. In the distance more of the steeply sloped crater rim is visible with the overcast sky obscuring the top of the rim there.

Rim Trail, Crater Lake National Park, Oregon

New snow covers most of the ground. A sign reads “Rim Trail” with an up arrow. The sign post also indicates that the trail is maintained by the National Park Service, as well as prohibiting dogs, horses, and bicycles. The dirt trail is bordered by rocks to delineate it from the sparsely-covered vegetative ground, but sone trees can be see in the distance. The cloud cover has become fog here due to the elevation.

A dirt trail splits the evergreen forest. A blue diamond is nailed upon one of the tree trunks about 10 feet up to help delineate the trail when the ground is covered in snow. The sky is overcast.

www.salon.com/2026/09/12/a... I could have sworn that the point of government was to protect the rich and powerful and to effect them getting richer and more powerful. 🤔 At least that's how things in the US seems to be set up in my lifetime.

A federal court says the government can lie to you. That will backfire - Salon.com

The ruling begs the question: What is even the point of government?

Annie Creek, Crater Lake National Park, Oregon

Annie Creek divides the landscape with green grass and evergreen trees to the left and a hillside sloping down consisting of volcanic ash to the right. The slope of the hillside does not host vegetation and seems pretty vertical in some places. Beyond the rim of that hillside, the tops of evergreen trees can be seen. The sky is overcast.

Debris logs lie strewn about a creek. Part of the dirt trail makes an appearance running parallel to the creek. Evergreen forest is interrupted by meadow that remains green near the creek but starts browning out away from the water.

We need at some point to talk about American Evangelicalism as a heretical movement. We should not indulge the delusion of a bunch or nuts who cherry-pick the Bible to rationalize otherwise indefensible 21st century bigotries that they are representatives of a global faith.

A hillside coated in hail slopes down from left to right. The hillside has evergreen trees, grass, and a rock outcropping. Beyond the hillside, a sheet of hail partially obscures the portion of Wizard Island cropped into the photo as well as Crater Lake and the lake’s rim.

www.motherjones.com/politics/202... This article certainly makes these gloves out to be popular with law enforcement for all the wrong reasons. Giving people in power with state sanction for violence a device that causes harm but with better optics is a terrible idea.
