Grindle Point Light, Islesboro, Maine. In the summer, Grindle Point Light is one of the only lighthouses in the state that permits the public to climb to the top of the tower. It and the adjacent Sailor's Museum are located right next to the ferry landing, so no need to walk far when visiting (zero cars on this picturesque island.)

Hate Hard, the Beer Poems, and Building the Life You Want

I’ve been going through holes of Reels and short-form videos at night lately, watching people remodel their house or home, decorate for holidays, and then, um, being an Amazon affiliate. At the same time, a lot of the writers I work with are having BIG DOUBT MOMENTS as they query and read Twitter/X and see authors behaving badly or agents behaving badly or people getting yelled at for sucking at…

@codywanweek Day Seven: Modern AU: Rural type jobs (farmer/cowboy/homesteader)

This is from an AU that's been floating around my thoughts that originally started with an idea for a Codywan meet-cute where Obi-Wan owns a bookshop and Cody is one of the Valentine's Bandits that operates in Portland, Maine-- they meet when Obi-Wan stays late at his bookshop the night before Valentine's Day, and catches Cody in the act of putting up a heart on Obi-Wan's storefront :)

The Fetts are a family of (mostly) lobstermen in this AU, so I thought it'd be cute to draw for today's prompt 🦞 (Cody is also a carpenter! I've encountered it a few times and I liked it so much I decided to incorporate it into my own modern AU :) )

reblogs are highly appreciated, and please do not repost my art

trump threatening and trying to intimidate the maine governer, janet mills, because she refuses to bend over for him.

"you better do it, you better do it, or else you're not going to get any federal funding" we already get a laughable amount. this threat means nothing to the average mainer.

Her response? "we will see you in court."

maine is basically Canada 2.0 and you want to test us?

we will be the end of you.

this is a great article outlining the actual legality of trumps threats, how maine doesn't actually need to comply with the order but the white house is acting illegally and outside of its authority, and how maine can fight back and gain independence.

and, trust me, we will be.

"Washington D.C. -- Governor Janet Mills issued the following statement today regarding the President's threat to withhold Federal education funding from Maine:

"If the President attempts to unilaterally deprive Maine school children of the benefit of Federal funding, my Administration and the Attorney General will take all appropriate and necessary legal action to restore that funding and the academic opportunity it provides. The State of Maine will not be intimidated by the President's threats."

Is there anything better than listening to a thunderstorm and eating homemade applesauce from heritage apples

Really fucking tired of the way rural people are put down for the way they talk. Seriously I don’t understand how you can put someone down and mock them for being uneducated and improper when they speak in fucking poetry on a daily basis? Access to education is something I wish everyone had equally. But the next time someone comes at me on a fucking high horse about speech mannerisms I going to snap. I don’t care how well you know your grammar and paragraph formation. Me and the other hicks are passing down verbal history and idioms you would weep if you heard. Plus you don’t even use those grammar rules your so proud of in day to day speech !!! No one talks “well” 100% of the time. But the rural and impoverished ppl you make fun of are out here saying shit like “you’re blushin’ redder than a patch of raspberries” in day to day life. I’m so fucking mad about this. Why are there ppl who do not see any value in that.
