Last year we had to postpone a chat in progress with @spaceart.bsky.social. The @bsky.app wasn’t working and we had to reschedule. The date is tomorrow and we are expecting Tyler to join us. Honestly we are expecting you too tomorrow at 9 PM ET @naturetechfam.bsky.social

everyone drive safe tonight LaMelo Ball is in town

just read the term "vibe writing" for the first time and can we not?

once again reminding everyone to funnel your emotions into organizing and building solidarity in your community and not pointless doomscrolling

Callers to Washington state’s driver’s license agency who select automated service in Spanish are instead hearing an AI voice speaking English with a strong Spanish accent.

Daily reminder to not take rejection in this shitty job market personally. I've really been trying to reframe it as their loss, not mine even as the financial toll on me gets worse. It's better for my mental health that way, at least a little. 🫡🫰🏻

Don't miss this massive story today from @scattercushion.bsky.social about public land managers fighting against the militarization of the southern border. “The borderlands are a testing ground for a lot of things because there’s just not a lot of people to advocate for these spaces."

what the fuck are we doing?

“Look, I’ll help you. But I can’t have my name on it,” one communications employee started telling journalists. “I can’t have my name on anything.” @ashleyharrell.bsky.social spoke with a handful of park employees about changes to NPS communication guidelines and how awful they've been recently.

Visitors spotted a grizzly bear that was awake earlier than usual in Yellowstone.

Some Crater Lake National Park news: The contract to repair the Cleetwood Cove Trail has been awarded to Washington-based company and will cost about $36.5 million. NPS data says the park creates about $74.3 million in economic output for the region. Only about 10% of visitors use this trail

A dangerous climb is renewing the focus on Mount Rainier's extreme hazards.

The @sfgate.com parks team is on a heater lately with great stories, so I thought I'd highlight some of the big ones we're run recently. First up, Sam Mauhay-Moore reported on an awful situation at Yosemite where park employees are being stripped of housing rights: www.sfgate.com/national-par...

New from me @sfgate.com Last week, the Mount Rainier National Park website said it was getting rid of timed-entry reservations at the park in 2026. Several news outlets reported on it. Then NPS quietly changed the site to say no decision has been made yet. www.sfgate.com/national-par...
