  📰 Portland: Drag Performers Lead Ecology Hikes "Efemmera and Thespis started these walks because they love the environment, but they also say that not every queer person feels safe going for a walk in the woods.

Can't wait to put them on my yogurt. 🐝 While I was out picking, I saw a thistle, tall as me, with a bright purple flower, being visited by a bumblebee. #HabitatGardening #Gardening #NativePlants...
