There are trans Americans right now looking out at this world and wondering if anyone is going to stand up for them and for their simple right to exist.

Well, I am. We are. We will.

I just got a notification for a magnitude 7.8 in Myanmar near Mandalay. Coincidentally in my video yesterday I mentioned this transform plate boundary as being the region’s source of activity. Waves are arriving in Australia

Cutting funding for weather forecasting does not save money - it costs billions in addition to putting lives at risk

Fired federal workers hunt for new jobs but struggle to replace their old ones Job searches can be tough for anyone, but some of the federal workers flooding the market after widespread layoffs are finding it particularly tough. Park ranger?

It is not in fact easy for highly specialized government workers in roles like “proscribed fire management and managing sled dog kennels” to find new jobs, as this piece points out

"History will remember this day— when an American President and Vice President abandoned all we stand for."

The mass firing of both new hires and recently promoted senior staff within #NOAA, including mission-critical and life-saving roles at the National Weather Service (#NWS), is profoundly alarming.

I can think of some new moms who might love this!!

Posted about the SAVE Act on IG to draw attention to the possible requirements related to identify docs for those who have changed their name since birth (e.g. took their spouse’s last name). First they attached a note to it then they removed it. I guess free speech is a one-way street.

Diluted tortoiseshell kitten primarily grey with light orange spots throughout. Magical fluffy creature likely to rule the house alongside Willow.

She won’t be ready for adoption for at least another month or so, but I’m thinking of names and once that happens I’m committed.

Emergency management and teaching in Norway had been added to my “things to look into” list.

Dilute tortoiseshell kitten being held in front of the camera. Primarily grey with very faint orange spots. Dark eyes that reach into your heart to melt it to her whim.

Most likely a completely biased response expected to the following question - Should this little girl become Willow’s baby sister?

She is currently being fostered through the same rescue that saved Willow and is currently doing well (alongside 4 siblings - they are approximately 6 weeks old).

Hi Yoda!!

Awwww - hi, Flynn!!

Pretty kitty!! 🐱
