Photographer, writer, environmentalist, geek I live in the shadow of Mt. St. Helens where I write about cameras and other tech, create YouTube videos, and spend a lot of time out in nature photographing wildlife and the places they live.
A few more flood photos from yesterday. #wawx
I was not expecting all this sun today! The birds sure love it after all the rain. #wawx
Flood plains are underappreciated natural wonders - wild, ever-changing, thronging with wildlife, and a key defense against flooding.

"Atmospheric river" is definitely the correct description for this. #wawx
And it may not even slow down until tomorrow morning, and then it's supposed to warm up and rain in the mountains all next week.
Decided to photograph swallows in the rain this afternoon. Not sure if my photos turned out lol, but it was fun regardless!
The river is pretty crazy right now!
Wow, it wasn't flooded a few hours ago!
I'm opposed to sprawl of any description, including solar/wind. Paving over and fragmenting landscapes to build these facilities is neither renewable nor clean.
Solar belongs on rooftops, parking lots, and other existing built space, not wild or agricultural land. #cleanenergy
IMO solar belongs in existing built-space, not on wild or agricultural lands.
What we need are laws to make it easier to install on rooftops, parking lots etc., as well as government programs to accelerate such installation.
An example of some of the worst people on this planet. I hope they all die.

Legacy forest advocates have also been loud and clear, but you don't seem to be listening.
What about legacy forests? Why have you avoided talking about the need to preserve them? Why aren't you talking to legislators about forest practices reforms?
You also heard over and over how critical it is for you to preserve legacy forests, and how co servation is a core function of government, yet you continue bring forward new destructive timber sales.
Your #1 priority should be protecting legacy forests and reforming forest practices. That's what you promised us during your campaign.
I'm very jealous of Puget Sound right now! SW WA deserves some snow too! #wawx
Yep, it sure is!
1.14 inches so far today! #wawx
Our hil has become a river this morning! Torrential rain still pouring down. #wawx
looks like we traded generations of healthcare for 4 days worth of missiles
Just another reminder that oligarchs are not just an “American” issue. They are global. They don’t give a fuck about you and they are child rapists and sociopaths. We should remember what working people did in the early 20th century and act accordingly. They will not stop on their own.
No worries, it's not my road!
Rain and a flowering tree at Lake Sacajawea this afternoon. #wawx
Never forget, if you’re seeing commercial after commercial bombarding the airwaves, supporting a political candidate and relentlessly attacking their political opponent, that’s a billionaire trying to buy an election. #VOTE
Some minor flooding going on today. #wawx
LLMs are AI in the same way that the Nintendo Virtual Boy is a VR headset. A company calling their product a thing doesn’t make it true. Anyone pretending pedantry about that is meaningful is, at best, a duplicitous dipshit
Stop by the Rose Center at Lower Columbia College for the ceramics sale! My brother Cory has some great art there.
I want to live in a world where reality and The Onion aren't so difficult to distinguish.
Just a reminder. You probably have multiple “mini” think tanks operating in your state. And they are being funded by The Heritage Foundation or the same people who fund The Heritage Foundation. Was just talking to a group of people in central Washington who didn’t know this. Be curious. Look local.
Every time you think "AI" can't get any worse, you find out it's even worse than you previously imagined.
