🚨 OREGON AIR QUALITY UPDATE 🚨

Wildfire smoke continues to smother large portions of Oregon this morning, with air quality ranging from unhealthy to outright hazardous.

Prineville currently has the worst reading among Oregon’s AirNow reporting areas at an AQI of 449, which falls deep within the EPA’s “Hazardous” category. Hood River and Pendleton are also experiencing “Very Unhealthy” air.

🟢 Good (AQI 0-50)

At unhealthy levels, everyone may begin experiencing health effects. Children, older adults, pregnant people and anyone with heart or lung conditions face an even greater risk.

Avoid strenuous outdoor activity, keep doors and windows closed when possible, run an indoor air purifier or properly filtered HVAC system, and wear a well-fitting N95 mask when spending extended time outdoors.

People in Prineville and other heavily affected areas should remain indoors as much as possible. An AQI above 300 is considered a health emergency, with everyone at increased risk of serious effects.

Applegate Valley and the Northwest Coast did not have current AQI readings listed.

Source: AirNow.gov readings captured around 10:00 AM PDT on Wednesday, August 5, 2026. Ontario’s reading was reported at 11:00 AM MDT. Air quality can change quickly as wildfire smoke moves across the state.

THIS DUTCH NURSING HOME GLUED RESIDENTS' OLD FRONT DOORS TO THEIR ROOM DOORS 🚪
⠀
A Dutch company called True Doors places life-size stickers of each resident's real front door on the entrance to their nursing home room.
⠀
It began in 2014 at a South Holland facility where most residents have dementia.
⠀
Instead of identical clinical doors, each person now sees the color and details of the door they lived behind for decades.
⠀
The decals cut disorientation and help residents find their room independently.
⠀
Caregivers noticed something else: residents started talking more, sharing old memories with staff and each other.
⠀
The Dutch Ministry of Health featured it as a model worth spreading.
⠀
If someone you love is in memory care, would a door like this have made a difference?

This could be the most important thing that you see us post! Its an epidemic this year, and these things are as lethal as a venomous snake in the wrong senerio! Please not only read it, but share it! Make sure we get the word out about these tics and the disease they carry!

It's summer! Time for camping, hiking and getting outside to play. Don't let those pesky annoying ticks stop you. Here's how with a simple homemade solution!

Repellent for your pets:

For pets, add 1 cup of water to a spray bottle, followed by 2 cups of distilled white vinegar. Ticks hate the smell and taste of vinegar, and will be easily be repelled by this ingredient alone. Then, add two spoonfuls of vegetable or almond oil, which both contain sulfur (another natural tick repellent).

To make a repellent that will also deter fleas, mix in a few spoonfuls of lemon juice, citrus oil, or peppermint oil, any of which will repel ticks and fleas while also creating a nicely scented repellent. Spray onto the pet's dry coat, staying away from sensitive areas including eyes, nose, mouth, and ge****ls. When outdoors for an extended period, spray this solution on two to three times per day.

For you and your family:

In a spray bottle, mix 2 cups of distilled white vinegar and 1 cup of water. To make a scented solution so you do not smell like bitter vinegar all day, add 20 drops of your favorite essential oil.

Eucalyptus oil is a calm, soothing scent that also works as a tick repellent, while peppermint and citrus oils give off a strong crisp scent that also repel ticks.

After mixing the solution, spray onto clothing, skin, and hair before going outdoors. Reapply every four hours to keep ticks at bay, and examine your skin and hair when back inside to make sure no ticks are on the body.

If you have ever shared anything, please click share on this! WE must get the word spread about the dangers of Ticks and how to avoid them!

Oregon needs your 🌈voice. Can you take a minute to fill this out?

Pride in Numbers
Survey Deadline Extended

Pride in Numbers is a statewide, community-led project by and for Two-Spirit and LGBTQIA+ individuals across Oregon. Centering BIPOC, trans, rural, and Indigenous leaders and experiences, the project is working with individuals and communities to gather stories and experiences in ways that honor and support Two-Spirit and LGBTQIA+ people. The information and stories Pride in Numbers gathers will be shared back with the community, so advocates, community organizations, and organizers can build the programs, services, and policies Two-Spirit and LGBTQIA+ people in Oregon deserve and dream of.



Pride in Numbers is extending the deadline for their survey and Community Art Project to May 31st, 2026.

Two-Spirit and LGBTQIA+ people all across Oregon (closeted, out, or anywhere in-between) are invited to participate by May 31st by:

· taking the online survey, which should take ~20 minutes (available in English and Spanish; ages 18+), and/or:

· submitting original artwork about their experiences to the Community Art Project (all ages; art will be analyzed as qualitative data and, with permission, may be shared on the Pride in Numbers public art Instagram)
