But, her emails!

every day I think about the comms strategy of the korean opposition party in the wake of the coup and I get so burningly resentful that other countries have legislators who are awake

Academic Skyers: I am compiling a list of policies and statements from various universities about how they are handling the "pause" in terms of stopping expenditures (or not). Please respond to this post with your institution and materials. THANK YOU!

A pause of all federal grants, loans, and assistance could massively impact EM & disaster survivors. Based on the memo, this is what I ~think~ but we do not have enough information to understand this... so massive grains of salt, etc. www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

Freezing fog in Alabama? What’s going to freeze next? Wait, I might know…

Today is Betty, a beautiful red TC that my neighbor gave me when she moved to a retirement home. #breathe #findsomethingbeautiful

Time to show off your Thanksgiving/Christmas/Holiday cacti! I’ll go first with this NOID beauty I propagated two years ago.

When your favorite things collide - disaster management and animal welfare. #IAEM2024

Such a beautiful day to talk about disasters. #IAEM2024 #greysky #IAEM Colorado Springs

Headed to Colorado for #IAEM and the pilot has arrived. #BHM

Bluesky academics: 1) a project you’re working on, 2) a question that you’re asking for fun. 1) a project on how emergency management communicators incorporate strategies to support mental health in their disaster messaging. 2) how dogs are trained for SAR.

Speaking of the utterly broken Twitter search (RIP), here are instructions for searching on Bluesky. It requires a little more from you, but once you know the prefixes, I've found the search works just fine. bsky.social/about/blog/0...

Good morning from my 23 yo Thanksgiving cactus, Bertha.

For those who are new, clearsky.app will show you what lists (including starter packs) you have been added to in case you’re wondering. Note: it also displays anyone blocking you, which I strongly encourage you to ignore as a general rule (all of us use socials differently, especially right now)

Something for the newbies, here is a searchable list of starter packs (curated groups of people on bluesky, by subject) blueskydirectory.com/starter-pack...

I’m conducting focus groups about #mentalhealth in #disaster communications during the IAEM conference in Colorado Springs, but I need more participants. If any disaster friends want to share this with their networks, I’d be grateful! TIA! universityofalabama.az1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_...
