After trying a few different tax filing systems, I highly recommend FreeTaxUSA. I used them this year and it was so easy and great and free for federal taxes and only $15 for filing state taxes.

National parks had a record number of visits last year. Now, an internal memo is directing the National Park Service not to publicize visitors numbers amid the Trump administration’s mass firings of rangers and other employees.

Egg prices are soaring again. Here’s why and what to expect
Bird flu has killed millions of hens in recent weeks, shrinking the supply of eggs and hiking up prices at grocery stores.

Occasional reminder that there’s no, “it’s too late, its over” for anthropogenic climate change. Every molecule of CO2 that doesn’t go into the atmosphere makes a difference. Preventing 0.1 degree of warming makes a difference. Every bit of climate resilience we build together makes a difference.

This article on snow days by Amy O'Kruk is wonderful, & the design details on the charts are *chef's kiss*. I'm a big fan of using topical iconography/imagery with charts when it makes sense. Using snow shovels as columns elevates this chart and makes it memorable. 📊
