I'd also love a poison oak visual quiz! Something I learned recently is that poison ivy isn't native to California—it's three variants either grow in Asia, the eastern US, or "not California." [1] [1] https:/&

Two things happened in my first week: - Using the iOS Safari share button to “Open in NetNewsWire” would silently fail if the blog didn’t have a feed. I went looking for my feeds later and they were missing. I tried a few more times before
