Ooh, I like it!

I never thought about sonic booms registering on seismographs before. Wow!

Baristas at this union store marched on their boss to address unfair discipline and harassment. Customers and allies showed up in support, and how did management react? She threatened to call 911!

Unfortunately, this isn't new for Starbucks when baristas demand better treatment.

THIS is what solidarity looks like!

Fingers crossed for either of them!

Did you know that Pittsburgh has one of the highest densities of union Starbucks stores in the country?

CONGRATULATIONS to baristas at the Banksville Plaza store - they just won the 21st union Starbucks in Pittsburgh! ✊🔥

The Children Speaking from the Rubble Tell us, what do the living do? Do you dance? Do you make bread with each other? Do you walk in the parks in autumn, smelling the late summer flowers? Is it true that some things get to grow old? What is the world doing now? Are you fighting with sticks and stones? Do you remember us? Do you lie down under the stars and listen to the birds passing overhead, and do you get to feel the little wings of your own wild heart be opened? You have somewhere to go then, don't you? Go. Don't let us keep you. We have names. We are safe. We're at school. We are hiding in our favorite little places, waiting for you to tap us on the shoulders, to tell us it was just a joke, come home now, and the bombs and boots are just a game we're playing, and the bread and milk are waiting on the table, and the moon is new, and the gardens are in blossom. This sentence is the length of one of our shoes. —Joseph Fasano

When will we ever learn?

Emergency management does have an image problem, yes - but more than that, honestly, I think we just have an odds problem. The folks with the money know (generally) what we do. They just prefer to roll the dice on disasters not happening, or not being that bad, and save the money for other stuff.

A victory in Denver and a warning in Miami as Palantir relocates HQ Colorado organizers celebrated the surveillance giant’s move after more than a year of protests, while Miami immigrant communities organized their own pushback

A researcher with the American Friends Service Committee and the national “Purge Palantir” campaign said the next phase is about scaling, helping communities identify where Palantir is embedded through political relationships, and sharing tactics that can be adapted locally.

Experts discuss 25th anniversary of WA's Nisqually quake We're three days away from the 25th anniversary of the Nisqually Earthquake.

25 years ago this weekend, western Washington was shaken up by the Nisqually earthquake. Experts from PNSN and UW explain what we’ve learned since—and what we need to do to get ready for the next one:

How about you?

I was in a room with zero coverage and an entire wall that was just glass, so mom ordered us outside. Afterward I could see the goofy dining room chandelier swaying so mightily, it was nearly touching the ceiling.

I learnt a new word of Hookland dialect today – wodwak. It's used to describe the sensation that a wood or even a specific tree is watching you. That moment when your psychic skin won't let you deny that bark-browed eyes are upon you. – #MattAdams

25 years after Nisqually quake, expert warns 'it will happen again' The City of Seattle marked the anniversary of the 6.8 magnitude earthquake on Thursday by discussing ongoing contingency plans for another powerful quake.

Today is Nisqually Earthquake Awareness Day! “Prepare, don’t despair”—that’s our message on the 25th anniversary of the 2001 M6.8 earthquake. Learn more in this clip: www.king5.com/article/news...

We're turning people away (fire code) from this anti-ICE training today. New Yorkers are fired up

Before the next earthquake hits WA, we need to fix our bricks | Op-Ed An earthquake like the 2001 Nisqually quake will strike again, and it could be more damaging. What is certain is that we can make structures safer.

“If Washington has the will, we certainly have the means to make our state safer and better before the next time an earthquake strikes.” Read this op-ed from PNSN director @haroldtobin@bsky.social in today’s Seattle Times about how we can #FixtheBricks: www.seattletimes.com/opinion/befo...

I think that chimney photo is the most well-known of home damage afterward. I remember seeing it in the paper.

Chunks of lawn displaced due to ground shaking.

A small yellow house with a chimney that is split in half, with the top half shifted to the left.

The roof of a brick building has caved in on itself, and the walls have fallen causing large piles of bricks on the street.

Happy throwback #FieldworkFriday! Fieldwork isn't just maintaining our stations - sometimes we must record the effects that earthquakes have on landscapes and built environments.

Here are some images collected by PNSN and fellow researchers after the Nisqually EQ 25 years ago.

I was 50 miles away, braced in our backyard and watching the ground ripple like foot-high swells. Impossible to forget.

Our mailman was across the street and saw our neighbor's windows pulsing wildly. He quickly locked himself in his truck, rode out the shaking, then continued delivering the mail.

It's so ironic how often bigots talked about being "unpersoned" because people did not want to socialize with them. You know what's really an "unpersoning"? Having no driver's license in a rural area. Losing the one ID you need to vote or pay taxes or open a bank account.

Hannah Spencer, newly elected MP for Gorton and Denton, said: "Because working hard used to get you something.

"But now, what does that get you?

"Instead of working for a nice life, we're working to line the pockets of billionaires."

Emailing your MP to ask when they can come and fix the boiler is a brave new angle for the Greens though, excited to see how they replicate this

Vote Green to reduce government expenditure.

If we can get enough tradespeople elected, the repair and maintenance bill for the House of Commons will be significantly reduced.
