Wonderful news today! Reading Rainbow is coming back and @mychal3ts.bsky.social will be hosting -- What a perfect choice!

You have to ask yourself WHY scientists would be ordered not to publish their data... This is wrong!

Happy Labor Day! 💙 Today I'm enjoying my last day of a well-earned summer break. Tomorrow begins year #22 teaching Biology and Environmental Science. I'm ready!

IF what Vance says is true & there are a lot of Democrats in the Epstein files, then why wouldn't the records get released? Is Trump protecting the Democrats? Ha! Release the files & prosecute EVERYONE who committed crimes with Epstein. Red or blue.

Such a terrible decision for the environment & OUR future! Any progress we've made in reducing GHG will be erased. What has the EPA become?!? 😖

That's a great photo!

The death of children is always a profound tragedy -- wherever they occur. 😟

A close-up of Christmas ornaments on the tree. One is a simple wood bison (from Wind Cave National Park) and one is in the shape of a bison head -- made from bison dung (from Yellowstone)

I love getting Christmas ornaments, especially this one made from bison dung that we got in Yellowstone. No, it doesn't smell! 😅

Three hikers walking on a flat trail toward mountain peaks

A mom and her two sons taking a break on a hiking trail with mountains and trees behind them.

Someone already wrote Yosemite's Mist Trail, so I'll pick the Bradley Lake & Taggart Lake loop in Grand Teton. Tomorrow my answer might change.

7.2 million and counting -- including these two teachers in Brookdale Park, Essex County, NJ. #nokingsday

If vaccines aren't mandated, health insurance may not cover them & vaccination rates will rapidly decline. The decision to have RFK Jr in charge of HHS will have deadly consequences. 😟

Shakespeare always has the perfect quote. 💙

"A plague on both your houses" is rather appropriate as well. 💙

“On our street, everyone is welcome. Together, let's build a world where every person & family feels loved & respected for who they are.”
🌈 Happy Pride Month!
Love is love 🤗

Oh, I love this!

"We here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain" -- remember the fallen on this Memorial Day and every day.

Proud to be finishing my 21st year as a NJ public school teacher. Happy Teacher Appreciation Week to my fellow educators. 🌟

I miss Sec Pete & DEI. 😟 "It is not safe situation right now for the flying public"

Happy Earth Day ... sigh.

Wise words from Pope Francis: "We must not be indifferent or resigned to the loss of biodiversity and the destruction of ecosystems, often caused by our irresponsible and selfish behavior..." Rest in peace. 🕊

Family with giant sequoia trees, making them appear miniscule

We loved our time in Sequoia! These public lands must always be protected.

Disgusting! 'Autism ruins families'?!? With the dismantling of the Dept of Ed, he'll be in charge of Special Education in our schools? I've taught so many kids on the spectrum & to suggest that they can't get a job, pay taxes, go on a date, play baseball, write a poem, etc is beyond insulting! 😡

"Purple like a bruise" -- excellent writing

Heartbreaking! We should be increasing USAID, not dismantling it. These deaths were preventable... and likely won't be the last. Just awful.

Love this!

Glad to be a small part of today's protests 💙

Happy to be a small part of the massive Hands Off protests. Mine was at Brookdale Park in Montclair, NJ with Sen Cory Booker & many others in attendance. Thanks to @montclairdems.bsky.social for organizing this great event! It was gray & rainy - but the crowd was smiling & positive!

Does he think we don't know what groceries are?? This is beyond embarrassing. Jeez...

Thank you, thank you Senator Booker. 22 hours & going strong! 💙 Day after day, the current administration brings disappointment, despair, anger... but today gives us reasons to hope. So important!
