Just stopping by to say hey! Hope y'all are doing well.

Graphic with a quote of Julian Reyes, Chief of Staff at UCS. The graphic includes the image of Smokey the Bear: “My own experience as a civil servant at USDA working directly with Forest Service R&D scientists tells me this relocation is bad for the American people, bad for American producers and foresters, and bad for rural communities.

In his blog, UCS’s Julian Reyes explains how Forest Service restructuring is irreversibly damaging the federal scientific enterprise. It leaves the nation facing growing climate threats with fewer experts to manage wildfires just as risks are surging across the US.

I totally agree. I never imagined in my lifetime I would see the things we have seen in the last year. And the audacity they have to say that Teddy R would have supported this move. 😤

Every day is a big enough joke..

BREAKING: Trump Administration Orders Dismantling of the U.S. Forest Service The headquarters is going to Utah. Every regional office is being shuttered. The research program is being destroyed.

I honestly have no words anymore. The author did a great job with this article.

Great! Good to see you again. I need to get back over here on the daily 🙂

Hey I'm happy to see you here. I've been missing you. Did you leave Threads?

Aww that's sad. Glad she has you. It's been very disheartening for me to see my 28 yr old child in a career that I encouraged her to pursue dealing with everything that's happening right now. Sending good vibes to yours and I hope she and everyone will have better days soon.

Wow thanks for this. My daughter is in Nevada (I'm here right now too) and I let her know.

It's been the nicest week of weather in Southern Nevada for August. Hope you get some relief soon 😬

It's only 89 in Las Vegas! That is hot where you are.

Happy National Park Week!

I finally made it to Alaska last year and visited 3 parks but Glacier Bay was the highlight for me.

Let's keep doing what we can to support OUR parks and the rangers and all federal employees.

Seems like it. There's also more info in an Atlantic article about making his staff bake cookies and stack firewood. Why can't they just take their money and go away? He's a billionaire. Just retire and have fun.

Hope everyone had a chance to see the Blood Moon last night. It was pretty impressive. Two great eclipses in less than a year! #lunareclipse

They had a whole ceremony here in Georgia 🥰 about.usps.com/newsroom/nat....

I think they are lying (again)

I know. Like how are they even supposed to keep it open? It just makes me want to cry.

Just stay away. I looked yesterday and felt filthy. Also just saw an article about how EM cant even keep the boys at bay. Every reply to him is in support it has to be rigged.

That person absolutely should not have been taking your blood. I would have been fired for that kind of conversation at any of the medical jobs I've had.

Happy 100th anniversary to Glacier Bay National Park. One of the most stunning places I've seen so far. And thank you to the hard working Rangers who make visiting so fun and educational. #NationalParks

Sending hugs and healing vibes. Hope you are doing better.

Had mine adjusted and it just seems to get worse every day. What hurts most is the silence of people who you thought would be outraged to see this happening and say nothing.

Hopefully that will change some day
