#OSMupdates for all you #history nerds and #freemason enthusiasts...
I just finished extensively documenting the Palestine Lodge, Masonic Lodge no. 141 on OpenStreetMap with details from the Portland, Oregon Historic Resource Inventory, the #NationalRegisterofHistoricPlaces, and my own on the ground recon. I've gathered enuff data and resources that I will probably end up editing #Wikipedia later with more information.
I had peviously published updates here, but they were all to do with the occupant of the building, Worksource Oregon.

I've been closing my social media accounts or limiting them because I have had an influx of threats because I am a #Freemason
Just some advice, try not calling a survivor of childhood rape a pedophile. I will not take part in your conspiracy theories.
You guys ever hear about Shriners hospitals for children? Thats what we do. We improve the communities around us because this is what we are suppose to do.
We were diverse before diverse was cool to be. Thats why fascist hate us.
Estimates indicate that between 80,000 and 200,000 Freemasons were killed during the Holocaust under Nazi persecution
In case #ICE bangs down my door let it be known I am a pacifist and now thanks to almost dyeing on a chicken bone puncture to my throat I now have nerve damage and walk like an old man. Waiting on a cane to be delivered actually.
Anyway if I end up with two to the back of the head someplace for working on the Obama campaign back in 08 or being a proud #Freemason then so be it but I will never try to harm a soul who would ever come to get me.
We could really use a lot more love in this world lately. I think I'll pray about it.
Why Freemasonry Remains A Male-Only Fraternity
NEVER SEEN BEFORE: Masonic Secret Ritual
Happy Birthday to Benjamin Franklin, Past Grand Master of the Grand Lodge of Pennsylvania, born on this day in 1706. (January 17, 1706 - April 17, 1790)
Portrait by Travis Simpkins 33°
The best part about being a #Freemason isn't any secret, its the quality of men that surround you.
This song has always reminded me of my fraternity.

Having never been a Freemason and not knowingly consorted with them I would suggest on documented hisorial evidence conspiracy theories are not required.
I just listened to This Day Podcast's episode about George Washington and the Masonic cornerstone laying ceremony. It's a good episode, but pretty obvious they don't know much about Masonry or secret societies.

DAY 9 - Cycling south UK. Last day of cycling. After an early rise and a cup of tea at the Stonehenge campsite I cycled the 20km, +200m back to Salisbury. I made stop at Old Sarum Castle, the location of early fortresses and castles and at one point the caste of William the Conqueror and the first Cathedral near Salisbury. From there to the city center for a tea & an apple crumble and a visit to Salisbury Cathedral. The entrance fee was a bit pricey (12£) but well worth the visit, with a 1h guided tour. After the cathedral I also visited the Salisbury and South Wiltshire Museum with more info about Stonehenge and Old Sarum. They had a nice café where I enjoyed some more tea and a scone before heading off to the train station. Train to London where I arrived around 3pm, enough time for a visit to the Freemasons museum :). Then to The Generator Hostel to drop off my bags and to Ta'mini (https://www.taminilebanesebakery.com/) for a Za'atar Manakish. To bed early for an early morning train to Dover. Cycling in London at 7.30am was quite easy and the train to Dover was pleasant. A long wait in Dover with 20 other cyclists to cross with the ferry. I was very fortunate that my parents picked me up in Dunkirk for a cozy time at their home :).

OTD in 1908 the #TunguskaEvent devastated remote Siberia. And, according to #Freemason lore, provided the lumber for all their furniture. https://cromwell-intl.com/travel/usa/us-wash-masonic.html?s=mb #histoyr

Thanks to a chance encounter I've spent the last week as official photographer for St Magnus International Festival. Pretty much a dream gig as far as #photography is concerned!
The highlight for me was Seven Rings - Escocia Duo performing South American music in the blue lit gloom of Kirkwall Kilwinning Masonic Lodge.
Not sure the #Freemason overseeing proceedings was happy about a woman sitting in the throne!
Challenging conditions but amazing #music.
Burl Ives, prominent #Freemason, was born OTD in 1909 https://cromwell-intl.com/travel/usa/us-wash-masonic.html?s=mb #travel #WashingtonDC #history
