Does anyone else remember this and could help me find the clipping?
Thanks!
Strange, otherwordly music to feed your brain! 3 sets of genre-defying performances including Dark Meta Railroad (San Francisco freak folk fantasy), Strange Rotation (jazz rock root vegetables), and Bensmateria (local sparkly hiphop IDM).
manyworld is located at 1013 NW Taylor Avenue in Corvallis, Oregon. There is a CTS route 2 bus stop located less than two blocks away at 9th and Fremont.
I got paid 100 dollars per call in 2014, now I moved to another state and payment is just now catching up to that rate
Maybe it's cuz I'm a rustic rural rube. A backroad bumpkin, a dumb-dumb.
I dunno it's cool when they interview journalists and authors or some cultural figures, but so much of their podcast is riffing on wannabe influencers that don't even seem worth knowing about. I get that it's a comedic mockery of the abysmal state of journalism, it's just infotainment. But imagine hearing some of this stuff in 20 years when it's like, what was even the point of giving these damned twitter threads this much attention? Is this creative or even engaging? I've started to suspect some of these podcasters are more screen-addicted suburbanites who struck it rich than leftist organizers or gumshoes.
These are juvenile Dicamptodon tenebrosus, still breathing partly with gills but soon they will be old enough leave the streams. They were living under some concrete chunks that had been dumped near the creek decades ago, which we removed when we replaced this old culvert with a new bridge to improve fish habitat. They'll move on to a new perfect spot and be just fine.
It's fairly rare to see these elusive creatures and I feel lucky. I've been recreating and working in WA and OR forests my entire life and never seen a giant salamander until the other day.
I've never moderated a subreddit so I don't know how you'd go about filtering these posts out. But dang they're annoying, it's like most of what I see here in the summer.
There should just be a PNWtravel sub or something, since there seems to be some people who like to answer such posts.
I bought this in an Oregon bookstore. The printer Alexander Donaldson is somewhat famous himself as a bookseller and publisher. My knowledge of British political history is somewhat lacking, but I find it interesting that Donaldson and Reid seem to have among the Tory's of their day, while Locke was aligned with the Whigs of his day. Maybe some of the ideological barriers between those camps were breaking down by the Scottish enlightenment period, or weren't as consequential for printers by then.
This book appears to have been owned by Charles "Carolus" Rattray, who evidently signed it with his birth year of 1779. He was one of many accomplished Edinburgh surgeons descended from the Scottish Clan Rattray. They are probably most famous for royal surgeon John Rattray, also known for being an early star in the sport of golf. Only info I can find on Charles Rattray is a Latin medical treatise from 1800, and that he practiced and died in Northamptonshire. I bet the modern clan or Northamptonshire historic records would have more info on him.
Beneath that we have M. (Mary) Eva Thomas (1874-1965), who from Plainsfield Indiana says the book came from her grandfather Joseph Brantingham's library. Indeed on the last page (not pictured) we have a note from Joseph (1807-1852) that says "Read this work on the 10m (October) of 1830. Very difficult to understand. Jos. Brantingham"
Finally, on the back cover somebody carefully penciled an unfinished quote from another Enlightenment era titan and contemporary of Locke, poet Alexander Pope. It reads "What nothing earthly gives nor can destroy, the soul's calm sunshine and the heartfelt joy". The original quote is from Pope's 1733 work "An Essay On Man", and the full line continues "is virtue's prize: A better would you fix?"
After seeing the volume of distressing posts and replies here recently, I wonder how many of us have considered the possibility that engaging with this very subreddit is an active harm to your mental health? Perhaps even listening to TrueAnon is not healthy or helpful for some of us?
personally I think that regularly seeing people posting on the edge of psychosis, reeling about incessantly horrible current events, describing crippling depression etc.-- these things would definitely not be helpful to my mental state if I myself were severely anxious or manic. It just seems painful for some of us to be here and focus on this shit too often.
In fact it may be the opposite of helpful. Maybe it's time to heal from this traumatizing view of society and spend some time with friends and hobbies, now that you're adequately aware of the elite pdo networks and ongoing societal collapse. Maybe you aren't bringing yourself or the world any good if engaging with this podcast is actively degrading your mental and spiritual life.
We were working quickly so I couldn't get a better photo, but these guys were probably 10+ inches long. They came crawling out of from rocks along a stream in the Oregon Coast range during bridge construction.
They sure looked dark colored, almost black, and I didn't notice any mottling but it could have been present.
Are we thinking Cope's Giant? Doesn't look mottled like the Pacific Giant to me, but most photos of the Cope's appear to be lighter brown colored.
This research was presented by Dr. Audrey Linn at the Smithsonian National Museum during their 2024 Natural Science Symposium. Her work focuses on ancient DNA from the remains of domesticated animals like dogs, cats, pigs, and sheep.
