@altacadia.bsky.social Pinned@altacadia.bsky.socialOMG, men. 🙄🤦 (To be fair, though, if dumpkin spice is what it takes to combat pheromone maxxing, I'll take it...)
@altacadia.bsky.socialWhen I tell you I RAN to my collection of early-1900s books to see which needs repair first... 😍 I'm loving this trend of small bookbinders, but this is the first one I've seen that does full antique restoration. New rabbit hole unlocked!

@altacadia.bsky.socialLet's do this! 💙💚 How do we submit a candidate for you to take a look at? @troyjackson207.bsky.social has been a champion for our north woods over his entire career. (NMW isn't a national park, but it's a prime example of public-private working forest partnership.)

@outdooralliance.bsky.socialReposted by @altacadia.bsky.socialLast week, the administration announced its intent to rescind travel management regulations which could open the door for conflicts between users. For decades, the Travel Management Rule has helped the Forest Service manage different types of recreation on the 193 million acres of land it manages.
@altacadia.bsky.socialJust now reading up on the new @parkspac.bsky.social:
"Public lands are on the ballot. Parks PAC mobilizes voters and resources to elect leaders who will protect America’s national parks and public lands—now and for generations to come." That's our kind of people!

@altacadia.bsky.social1500 already-approved maintenance projects have been sidelined for the narcissist-in-chief's vanity projects. Yes, they ARE deliberately sabotaging public lands in order to more-easily justify privatizing them. 😡
@altacadia.bsky.socialI'm a big fan of preserving venison (or moose, bear, etc) via pressure canning. It's shelf stable and sooooo tender. There are lots of instructions available online. (Safety first, please- no rebel canning! 😵)

@altusfs.altgov.infoReposted by @altacadia.bsky.socialIt’s nice to see a politician do more outdoors than golf. But I’m personally offended when I see J.D. Vance enjoying National Forest lands. Like wow, you just helped kneecap the agency, its people, ~7,000 gone, then go out to enjoy the land and its stewardship like nothing happened.
@altacadia.bsky.socialNoting that both flash floods were exacerbated by climate change is neither competing nor comparing devastation levels. But you do you- have a lovely day.
