There's a picture of the mayor being sworn in and another of one of the accused men. The article does not mention the race of the attackers nor how they self-identify.

 

KLCC article explains:

Eugene Parks and Open Space wants to know how people are using their neighborhood parks and what might make them better.

The survey takes approximately 7-10 minutes. Responses are anonymous.

Upon completing the survey, respondents can leave their email address to be entered in a drawing to win Eugene Parks swag from bit.ly/parkswag.

The article doesn't have a link to the English-language survey. Here's the Spanish-language survey, as well.

The forecast changed. No Northern Lights for Oregon.

 

Greenhill Humane Society reduces fees for Cat-a-Paw-Looza special. Start with Buddy. I want many many more pictures of Buddy.

 

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Space Weather Prediction Center said people wanting to experience an aurora should get away from city lights and that the best viewing times are between 10 p.m. and 2 a.m. local time.

Friday might be a difficult day for me after little sleep, but I'm making plans to see them!

 

The move coincides with debates in other states this year on expanding Medicaid coverage to undocumented immigrants.

Apologies. Some federated content comes through with (kbin.social) after the thread title. I'm sure it's one of the bugs Ernest is working on.

Just a reminder that regardless of what kbin.social decides, you can block federated domains for yourself. Go to:
https://kbin.social/d/domainname
So I just blocked Threads and it was:
https://kbin.social/d/threads.net
On the right side, click the "don't" icon (circle with a slash through it). When it's red, that means that domain is blocked.

I haven't yet switched to the Eugene library, because the card for my previous city still works, and, looking at my history, I average 10 a month, so that's a bummer.

 

Tickets are $45 before the weekend and $55 on the weekend and can't be purchased at the site. KLCC has some more information. Share your stories of fairs past or your excitement about camping at this year's or how you won't be going because it's too expensive and you don't know any of the vendors.

 

The Eugene Public Library is adjusting to the reality of budget cuts.

Heaven's Vault was fantastic and can be played multiple times to get different versions of the story. It's also on sale right now. What I thought was especially well done is how they tied the narrative to replaying aspect.

Listening to To the Lighthouse by Virginia Woolf while I do chores. It's literature so I have to listen to it since there's no plot, really, and it's all thoughts inside people's heads, so far all on the same day.
Just finished book 2 in the Seraphina series, Shadow Scale, by Rachel Hartman. I almost didn't finish it because for most of the book the main character didn't have anything going in her favor and the relentless piling on of bad news made me anxious.
I've got to finish the other stories in Stories of Your Life and Others, by Ted Chiang, because I got it to read "Story of Your Life" after reading a thread on Kbin about the movie Arrival (which I had really enjoyed by apparently hadn't understood fully).

TotK. I'm going the maximum exploration route, so I've only gotten the Travel Medallions, Tulin's Sage, and the locator so far. I'm leaving the main story until much later. 135 hours in, though, and only playing an hour or two most days.

We're glad you're here! With the Fediverse there can be many Eugene communities. There's also [email protected]. Using tags makes crossposting possible, but it doesn't hurt to subscribe to multiple.

Pinky: What are we doing this weekend, Brain?

How on Earth have you done all the temples in only 50 hours?

I used to live in a city that uses ranked-choice voting. While I wasn't keen on the person ultimately selected the last time, it took the anxiety away from choosing candidates and I had no trouble accepting the results (disappointing though they were).

Hello /c/Eugene! I'm so happy you exist!

The Fediverse has this awesome ability to allow for "listening" for relevant content via tags. I'm not sure how Lemmy handles it, but on Kbin you can set your magazine (community) to look for certain tags and it will pull in content from the Fediverse that has those tags. Also, if you add tags to your posts, they will possibly get picked up in various places looking for the tags. So please tag your content if you want it to crosspost passively.

Here's a FAQ (for Kbin) that talks a bit about how tags work.

Kbin lets you see content based on a tag, as well:
(https://kbin.social/tag/eugene)[https://kbin.social/tag/eugene]. Just replace "eugene" with the tag you're looking for. It's helpful if you want to see if a tag is used and to discover where it's used.

Please do say if Lemmy has similar resources or instructions.

 

Oregon State Police want the public’s help in identifying the suspects who carried out the vandalism at Heceta Head Lighthouse last week.

 

A fleet of tracked chairs rolled out on Heceta beach in Florence. They gave people with mobility challenges the opportunity to overcome the sand dunes.
