Northern CA coast is hard to capture on camera but quite lovely

I learned this weekend the value of de-escalation when our weekly protest was involved in an incident. This is valuable info that could literally save your life. And everyone can use a brush-up on what their rights are, especially since no one else will protect you except YOU.

Yes, and also, yes.

My scribe and I are vehemently anti fracking. My sympathies to those feeling the quakes. My scribe grew up near @sanandreasfault.bsky.social and explains that being jiggled with no warning absolutely sucks. San Andreas is not solely to blame though, its children are a bit feisty sometimes. ✨.

My scribe’s hoping to get hers on an upcoming Friday in order to sleep it off over the weekend. #ThisIsTheWay Luckily, faults don’t need vaccines. Imagine me trying to go to Walgreens! It’d be a geological cataclysm trying to haul myself ashore! Though…that actually sounds kind of fun…

In anticipation of 🧠🪱’s b.s. “autism cure” announcement today (& the eugenics baked in it) Remember: Autistic voices must be at the center of these convos 🔗: autisticadvocacy.org/about-asan/w... TLDR: Autism = human diversity, not a flaw to erase. We, autistic or not, all need support to thrive 🫶

Disabled people aren’t “less than”. It’s not a moral failing. Most people will experience disability at some point. It’s a minority group you can join at any time. We need more accessibility, inclusion, accommodation and compassion. There’s no social justice without disability justice.

Today I learned that "teletsunamigenic" is a real word, and it means the creation of ocean-wide tsunamis. Neat!

Mind your OPSEC.

Just now, 11 state and city lawmakers were arrested by DHS police on the 10th floor of 26 Federal Plaza after a hour of demanding access to the ICE lock up on the same floor. @thecity.nyc

The seismic waves from the M7.8 earthquake off the coast of Russia (an aftershock of the M8.8 that occurred in July) are passing below us here in California. The waves are too small to feel but not too small for seismometers to detect. See the data at www.iris.edu/app/station_...

@northwestpass.bsky.social Hi, fam! Welcome to the party!

Always remember and support the beauty and kindness in the world,humans 🌊🌊

More guns and gun violence is not the answer🌊🌊

Does this mean you've dethroned @cratermischief.bsky.social??

Sorry for the flurry of reposts; my scribe's making up for lost time. And also trying to flatter me by posting a ton of photos of my beauteous-ness. (And it's definitely working. 😎)

Perfect window view of the Pacific, dreamy indeed 🌅 #OceanView #WindowView #SeaScape #CoastalView #OceanLovers #BlueHorizon #NatureThroughGlass #SeasideEscape #OceanPhotography #CoastalVibes #SeaView #OceanPerspective #BeachHouseViews #NatureWindow #mendocino #lightroom #vsco #landscape

Heads-up folks if you're heading to the Russian River, Lake Mendocino or Navarro River in Mendocino County this weekend.

Summer. #dailydoseofthecoast

More about the wrentit: genetic analysis put its closest relatives in Asia, a family of birds called parrotbills. Taken Aug. 2025 in #Mendocino, #California. #birds #birdphotography #mendocinocounty #m43

Lots of beauty here, both below AND above. ;)

Linda, enjoying the summer breeze near Mendocino, California.

The two questions I ask my reps over and over are: 1) how do I protect my neighbors from ICE harassment? 2) how do I protect the right of all Americans to vote? I don’t care about think pieces on the Democratic Party, I care about what I can do to protect my neighbors and my democracy.

Wait.. what?? This is news to me.. and I’m said ‘Nascent’ subduction zone according to this.. 604now.com/bc-hidden-fa...

This is Archibald. He's been holding in a sneeze since last September. Finally let it loose. 13/10 bless you buddy

After the past few days, it's more important than ever that we speak out against the war on science and research. Make your voice heard. Join us this Saturday: bit.ly/SoundScience....

The propagandists running the @DHSgov account are deliberately pushing thinly-veiled neo-Nazi material through the official communications channels of the U.S. government. Their goal is stirring outrage (to which they will express fake outrage) and signaling to their followers where they're going.

DHS is literally quoting a white supremacist and antisemitic reference.

Forget Disneyland, the happiest place on earth is the Dahlia Garden at the Mendocino Botanical Gardens. 🌸💚🌼 #flowerpower #bloomscroll #dahlias #mendocinocoast #californialove

Big River meets the Pacific Ocean at Mendocino. 💘 #dailydoseofthecoast #mendocinocoast #californialove

When the going gets tough, I go to Mendocino. 💙 #dailydoseofthecoast #mendocino #californialove

Coding error? I thought those DOGE boys had mad skills. 🙄

Specifically the sections that are missing now include the sections about the writ of habeus corpus, and impoundment. Which seem like incredibly relevant sections to remember exist right now sooooooo what the whole fuck, y’all?????? Deleting parts of the Constitution you don’t like is ✨fascism✨🤬🤬🤬

Looking for the text of the constitution from a non-Government site? Might be handy to have your own copy. www.americanbar.org/groups/publi...

Part of Northern California (from the CA/OR border to Cape Mendicino) is now under a Tsunami Warning. The rest of California remains under a Tsunami Advisory. www.tsunami.gov

NHK World needs to enunciate “centimeters” so they don’t sound like they’re saying “37 meters.” But since they’re J-E translating in realtime, I’ll give them a pass this time. They have confirmed that various points of NE Japan’s Pacific coast have experienced a 30cm tsunami. 40cm in some places.

Sometimes people will say that the USGS or another agency "upgraded" or "downgraded" a magnitude, but many folks I know avoid this terminology. We've found that saying "refined," "revised," or "improved" the estimate of the magnitude gives people a clearer picture of what seismologists are doing!

The magnitude has been further refined to M8.8. It may seem like 8.7 and 8.8 are close, but the difference actually means about 40% more energy released. Logarithmic scales will do that! Want to know the difference between any two magnitudes? Try this calculator: earthquake.usgs.gov/education/ca...

This means that large/destructive waves are *not currently expected* for U.S./Canada West coast after further evaluation. However, local inundation up to ~6 ft in some specific locations is possible (e.g., Crescent City). Attached is screenshot of latest arrival times/heights.

Tsunami update as of 6:45pm PT: A tsunami has been generated, and it was damaging near epicenter. Tsunami Warnings remain in effect for many Pacific Islands (including Hawaii) and SW AK. However, for U.S./Canada West Coast, Watch *has been canceled* & converted to "Advisory."

Heads up: an 8.7 earthquake in Russia has triggered a tsunami warning for the California coast. The National Tsunami Warning Center said the tsunami, if it materializes, would hit Fort Bragg in Mendocino County at 11:50 p.m. Tuesday, Crescent City in Del Norte County at 11:55 p.m.
