Unstreamable is a weekly column that finds films and TV shows you can't watch on major streaming services in the United States. THE ROSEUSA, 1979, 125 min, Dir. Mark Rydell Bette Midler's breakout performance actually happened in NYC's gay bathhouses sometime in the early 1970s (earning her the nickname "Bathhouse Betty"), but I guess it officially happened in her film debut, The Rose, when she played Janis Joplin a "self-destructive rock star in the late.
Census data is out: We ve got population numbers, people. The U.S. had its slowest decade of population growth since the 1930s. Declining birthrates and slowing immigration rates equal a new era of slow growth for America.
Another House seat for Oregon: Over the last decade, Oregon s population increased by 10.6% to over 4.2 million people, according to new census data. Now, Oregonians will receive an extra Congressional district. Texas, Florida, Oregon, Colorado, Montana, and North Carolina all gained seats. While Washington s population increased at a rate of 14.5% or, double the national average we won t be getting another seat in Congress. That population growth is clear evidence of our dying economy, eh?
So, we now have hard evidence that just one dose of psilocybin, "a compound found in psychedelic mushrooms," can ease anxiety and "dread of death" for up to five years. The evidence comes from a study conducted on cancer patients in 2016, and the follow-up of that study, which was completed early last year but for reasons obviously related to the present pandemic and its stress-related factors, was reported only this week by The Hill..
Word s getting around that I put out a birdfeeder last week. Sponsored The month long cycling event takes place this May, with ride challenges, prizes from Zoka Coffee and Primal Wear, and funds raised benefiting Attain Housing.
A pretty red-headed woodpecker has bobbed underneath the feeder all morning, licking up the dropped seeds. A crow noticed my bowl of peanuts, and he would like some privacy while he decides which ones he s going to eat. The crow has clicked impatiently at the woodpecker for hours and resorted to the occasional dive-bombing. The woodpecker is undeterred, sliding in between two planters to enjoy a pile of seeds where the crow can t reach. A champion!

For a couple months all drugs were decriminalized in Washington. But after the Governor signs this bill? Not so much.
Rather than embrace a recent state Supreme Court decision and fully adopt a public health approach to drug addiction statewide, during the final days of the 2021 session lawmakers in Olympia decided to pass a bill that re-criminalizes simple drug possession as a misdemeanor for the next two years. People convicted of misdemeanors face up to 90 days in jail.
The proposal does, however, give offenders two chances to escape that fate, in that it directs cops to divert a person caught with drugs to a treatment program, unless that person has already been diverted to treatment twice before. After the third offense, the cop decides whether to book the person or send them back to treatment.
