It was probably naive to think that everything built on Hive would reflect the values of uncensored speech and inclusiveness. But that's a big part of what drew me to the blockchain in the early days ...

A good point. And we want independent businesses built on the Hive blockchain. I think your comment concedes that #premium is exclusionary, and I'm just not sure I want to participate. Doesn't mean I think

#premium vs. nonpremium members separate but equal

"Everyone treated equally" ... Is that like "separate but equal"?

I'm unsure of it, and I think it's good to raise questions. We'll see what develops going forward, I guess.

Until now, status on Hive (our reputation number) was earned through participation. #premium creates a status symbol based on wealth alone, marginalizing those without a handy $10 bucks a month. #feedback

Until now, Hive has offered an inclusive, level playing field for people from all over the world. #premium creates an exclusionary financial hurdle for many outside the U.S./Western nation economic system.

The photo was taken from Hoquiam's unofficial dog park. It's actually undeveloped, Port of Grays Harbor property at the confluence of the Hoquiam and Chehalis rivers and the east end of the Grays Harbor

Thanks, I have a similar reaction standing there when they go by. So immense.

Yes, indeed. IDK but my guess is the tugboat captain has the skill in this case.

Great to see #photography trending! Here one of the big boys cruises into the Port of Grays Harbor in Hoquiam, Wash. #pnw

Yeah, if I could find it on my HD, lol.

GM, I'm grateful for all the books/stories I can read.

Love the herons, and love your analogy to yoga! I have one pic of a heron doing tadasana. :)

One of my favorite photos from my recent post in the Photography Lovers community (link below). Driftwood on the Grays Harbor bay in Hoquiam, Wash. I almost feel I should mark this NSFW! #photography #pnw
