Lowrider Librarian

Facebook is a cesspool of invalid information.  Image is public Domain. Dear readers, I used to be a huge proponent of FB.  I am a librarian and early on I realized the potential of social media for networking, sharing information and as a medium for learning.  This is no longer the case. I used to believe FB was a great tool to share information. It is not even a good tool for sharing information.   I am an information professional.  Part of my job is teaching students information literacy.  Here is a definition of Information Literacy that ALA uses: Information literacy is a set of abilities requiring individuals to "recognize when information is needed and have the ability to locate, evaluate, and use effectively the needed information."   This has much to do with the the person's ability to search for and find valid information.   Most dictionaries define validity as: "The quality of being logically or factually sound; ...

RĒL Cannabis Oregon If you live in Oregon than you have a wealth of options when it comes to higher THC vape cartridges.  I've tried many and there is a new one I would like to tell you about.I had the good fortune to be able to try out the RĒL 710 disposable vape pen recently!  The distillate I tried was a sour diesel -- and it was great! It was powerful: in THC 70's range.  It tasted like diesel from the natural terpenes RĒL uses in its products.  I was struck by the natural taste and a powerful impact a few minutes after exhaling a huge cloud of vapor from the sweet little 710! RĒL 710 The 710 has a ceramic coil and is filled with one gram of great THC or CBD oil.  The one I had was THC as CBD does nothing for me. Here are some major pluses of the RĒL 710 vape pen: Smooth Draws Large Draws Didn't get clogged Was able to vape all the oil in the cartridge Discreet Rechargeable mini USB Long battery life Price range- 40-50 bucks As a long...

My heroes call out to me from across time Some call out from hundreds of years ago I can hear some from just yesterday My heroes call out to me and make my heart strong They are our alternative narrative Calling out our history Calling out our enemies Calling out our allies Calling out our resistance My heroes call out to me and I listen They are part of what makes our culture great They are the true Americans Calling out hatred makes us stronger My heroes call out that shit What if Huey P.

Select CBD Promotion Materials I suffer from PTSD and from arthritic pain.  My state, Oregon allows me to get a medical cannabis card for these conditions and it helps me greatly.  My main experience has been with THC though.  Select Cannabis Oil makes my favorite high THC vaporizer cartridges in Oregon.  I've been trying to get some for review on this blog.  They told me they can't give away THC cartridges, but that they would send me some CBD products to test and review.  They sent me some vape pens and some tinctures to test out and review for you all.  CBD is non-psychoactive and does not get people high. I had the good fortune to receive a box of CBD products from Select oil last month.  I am excited because I have not had the opportunity to try CBD in any real quantity for a period of time.  CBD is something I had not had a chance to try--it is expensive and I have not seen scientific studies that confirm results for pain and ...
