One of the great things about living in a college town like Corvallis is the density of brilliant academics and authors in what is, really, quite a small town.

Oregon State University faculty produced some incredible books in 2024, both for the university press and other publishers around the country. A list:

I don't like #Trump at all, but the politics in #Corvallis is borderline intolerable -- to the point of being a bit toxic for all of us who are trying to advance to the next stage.

There are a lot of ambivalent people living here. Actually it's really a mix and not just neoliberals and the cliquish types.

Maybe we need someone like Trump to get in there and make things a lot worse before these ambivalent people get a grip and see what's going on around here. Maybe then they'll start collectively organizing to overthrow people like #Albany 's Mark Shepard who is #Corvallis 's semi-corrupt City Manager and is the man directly responsible for signing off for much of the recent city land giveaways to capricious out-of-state real estate developers.

They've really been on the ball here in Corvallis building shitty apartment complexes everywhere by the score.

Corvallis, please fire Mark Shepard. He is a POS.

America stinks right now.

It's so many things. More than half of SCOTUS is genuinely nuts. Half of Washington, D.C. is a full-on gerontocracy. The military is out of control on the world stage as per usual, with indiscriminate drone bombings in almost any country that remotely threatens US dominance over their oil imports and US oil exports.

And here in the #PNW more specifically the #WillametteValley in western Oregon, the high cost of housing including the rental cost for both apartments and townhouses is literally going through the roof. Here in #Corvallis, we have so much land available and yet much of our zoned land within the city limits is being used to build #OregonState grad student housing and also build more luxury apartments that no one but rich foreign students can afford.

It's this kind of stuff that agitates the political fringe groups such as MAGA to no end. We are more or less giving land handouts to foreigners and also entitled young people who may not deserve an all-expenses-paid-for college education. A lot of others who do not have that access starve on either side of the political spectrum which they hail from, while the politicians are often throwing stones.

It was a great morning of slow birding around the Timberhill area of #Corvallis, with most of my existing year list showing up, along with these six newcomers. The bluebird gave us a close look, and that was a treat on a rainy winter's day.

11) Bushtit
12) House Finch
13) Pine Siskin
14) Red-breasted Nuthatch
15) Downy Woodpecker
16) Western Bluebird
