Phone obviously makes it pop more, but this spot was breathtaking to see! #Idaho #IdahoEscape #NorthernLights

Absolutely incredible. #Idaho #IdahoEscape #NorthernLights

BREAKING: Colorado voters approved a ballot measure that would raise state income taxes on higher-earning households to fund free meals for all public school students. Follow AP for live updates.

Looks like the Dems will pick up 12 seats in the VA House of Delegates, which will go from 51-49 to 63-37 D-R. That's an honestly shocking result.

I really really love this game and all its random encounters. #RDR2 #RedDeadRedemptionII #PS5 #VideoGames

Nice little getaway to the mountains today. Didn’t hear a lot of birds, but it was super pretty out! #Idaho #IdahoEscape #Nature #Photography #CTNF

Your moment of zen for today. #Idaho #IdahoEscape #Nature #CTNF

My mind keeps circling back to this tweet from Dan Sheehan, a.k.a. @sickofwolves.bsky.social. Originally posted in 2018. Still relevant. (Unfortunately.)

This crowd is even bigger than last time! IDAHO IS PISSED! 📣💥 #nokings #boise

Stop doomscrolling. Look at these baby hawks FREAKING OUT at the sight of a MONSTROUS, TERRIFYING… butterfly. 🦋 “MOM! MAKE IT GO AWAY!” www.reddit.com/r/NatureIsFu...

I’ll forever be a sunset chaser #Idaho #IdahoEscape #Nature #Photography #Sunset

Absolutely gorgeous sunset this evening! #Idaho #IdahoEscape #Nature #Sunset

Open enrollment for ACA plans began yesterday in Idaho. One couple got notice that their monthly premium next year would jump from $51 to $2,232 as subsidies expire. 25,000 Idahoans are expected to be priced out of coverage. This is what's at stake in Trump's shutdown.

Well, finally got an MRI schedule for the headaches & some stronger meds to try. So here’s to hoping for answers and at least a little relief

A rich part of America's tapestry.

Crisp fall morning #Idaho #IdahoEscape #Nature #Fall

Wow

Tetons in the distance. #landscapephotography #clearnight #idaho #wyoming

This was magnificent.

In case you didn't already know this #Portland

Yesterday brought news that country star Zach Bryan is dropping a song critical of ICE. Today, the official DHS account trolls him by using one of his songs (without permission, one strongly presumes) over the kind of cinematic footage Trump loves, of masked federal agents clashing with Americans.

In 1999, Bill Clinton announced “the last, best unprotected wild lands anywhere in our nation” would be shielded by a new rule that banned roads, drilling and other disturbances. Today, these lands could soon see chainsaws and logging trucks amid a push by Trump to raze these ecosystems for timber.

Birding buddy sent me a couple pics of California Condors he saw. I’m happy for him, that’s such a cool find! I am also incredibly jealous

This was always the plan. Project 2025 was Donald Trump's blueprint to seize unchecked power within the federal government and restrict Americans' freedoms. And he is implementing it right in front of our eyes.

It truly hurts to see the agency I worked for posting propaganda. (I know all agencies are posting these on their websites, and it’s Trump’s doing)

I got nothin’ today.

Under the federal government shutdown, public lands agencies say they’ll keep parks open and continue oil and gas permitting — even as they furlough tens of thousands of employees. Advocates warn the approach will do lasting ecological damage. buff.ly/pRNqypO

For the record, those in power will say that Wildland firefighting won't be affected by a government shutdown. As a former Wildland fire guy who went through a few government shutdowns, I can assure you that is absolute bullshit. #IdahoFire

I saw a phenomenon today I'd never seen before - a rainbow hugging the ground. This was about a quarter mile off in this shot at the same elevation as me. Meteorologists? #rainbow #photo

Periodic reminder that the Boise Based Wildland Firefighter Foundation does great work and is well respected within the fire community. So sad to hear about this fatality. #IdahoFire

Scrolling through some interesting fb comments on a post about a prescribed burn taking place.

Yesterday was my birthday. I had a really good day, lots of laughs and love, and of course good cake! I got a crochet moth man plushie and a bird hat. I love my little family here! 🥰❤️🎂

I finished #Wolfsong last week and I’ve moved onto #Ravensong (second book in the Green Creek series by TJ Klune.) I am absolutely in love with this story and the characters!!! Perfect fall/halloween time reading!

Howdy y’all. I’ve been trying to limit my time online and doomscrolling. It’s really scary out there right now, especially as a trans person. I’ve been spending time with the critters, reading, and writing. Tomorrow is a nature day (if the weather holds). Hope you all are well and I’m sending love ✌🏼

I find it deeply disconcerting the way they keep “teasing” the big info they have on autism. If there was a real scientific breakthrough, they wouldn’t wait. This isn’t about science, it’s about discriminating against neurodivergent people. It’s eugenics.

Grateful for Robert Redford's focus on stories about the West and profiling great western works like Idaho's Vardis Fisher's Mountain Man, Norman McLean's A River Runs Through It, and John Nichols' the Milagro Beanfield War. Sundance became a platform for so many others, like Sherman Alexie:

Hey #Idaho. It’s mostly overcast but I’m seeing auroras. Anyone else? #NorthernLights #AuroraBorealis

your moment of calm: three baby raccoons playing a little tug o war with a dog toy and enjoying the kiddie pool.

Jesus fucking Christ. Fuck the Wall Street Journal for spreading the initial bullshit

The Roadless Rule has protected nearly 60 million acres of roadless national forests since 2001. But now, the Trump administration wants to strip protections from 45 million of those acres. The public comment period is only open until Sept. 19th. Please add your voice ➡️ https://bit.ly/3IeiP1D
