It is hard to overstate how critical @ncar-ucar.bsky.social is to climate science in the US and around the world. It's the beating heart of our field. Generations of scientists have trained there, and almost everyone I know relies on deep collaborations with NCAR scientists. It's end is unthinkable.

In Seattle and beyond, hyperlocal community fridges give neighbors a chance to feed each other. @uofwa.bsky.social faculty member Emily Hovis is working to ensure the food is safe in collaboration with the Urban Freight Lab and other partners. deohs.washington.edu/hsm-blog/com...

I love this idea so much: Washington Dept of Fish & Wildlife just released an anthology of poetry and art exploring how each of the state's ecoregions is being affected by climate change, and how fish & wildlife managers are responding. I just ordered my copy.

Can't stop hearing "It's Giving Tuesday" as "It's giving...Tuesday"

Looking forward to reading with @heidiseabornpoet.bsky.social and many other wonderful pressmates at the Cornerstone Press virtual reading this Thursday eve, Dec. 4 at 4 pm PT! I'll post the link below when it's available.

Hey Seattle voters. The mayor's race may come down to a slim margin of votes, so check TODAY to make sure your signature was validated and ballot was counted. There are easy steps to correct things if your ballot was rejected: info.kingcounty.gov/kcelections/...

I loved working on this story about UW undergrad Leo Diaz's work in Yijie Geng's lab. They are studying how pesticides influence autism, and how a chemical naturally produced in our gut might have promise as a future treatment.

We are just one day out from the Seattle local elections! Only 17.6% of King County voters and just under 20% of Seattle voters have returned their ballots. So far, only 1 in 17 young gen Z voters have voted, compared to more than 1 in 3 boomers. Don't forget to vote if you are eligible and want to.

I address the first scandal of my political life—Momgate.

Enormous news for US literature. A new, Mellon-led, $50 million fund for nonprofit literary orgs and publishers. Closest thing we've ever had to it was Mellon and Wallace in 1991, which, in today's dollars, was still less than half this. Open call begins Nov 10. literaryartsfund.org/about/

The depth of the shame of a country this wealthy and abundant allowing its people to go hungry is impossible to measure. The fact that a handful of people could fix this by paying their fair share of taxes while still remaining obscenely wealthy makes it even worse.

just no

Thanks so much to @lynnelamberg.bsky.social and @sciencewriters.org for featuring my chronicle of trial and error in creating AN INTRODUCTION TO ERROR and finding a wonderful publisher in Cornerstone Press. Also a glimpse of the many books that inspired mine. 🙏🏻📚 www.nasw.org/member_artic...

Join us tonight! 🎉

AN INTRODUCTION TO ERROR is out today from Cornerstone Press! Join me in celebrating mistakes and uncertainty. 🙈Thanks a million to Eunice Kim for the beautiful cover art, Rosanna Warren, and everyone who has supported this book making its sidewinding way into the world. ❤️

The New Yorker asked me “how bad” today’s Supreme Court ruling was. I boiled it down to one paragraph: link.newyorker.com/view/5bda429...

BREAKING: By an apparent 6–3 vote, the Supreme Court halts an injunction that had prevented immigration agents from racially profiling Latinos in central California. Sotomayor, dissenting, says the decision is "unconscionably irreconcilable with our nation's constitutional guarantees."

Some good news: *everyone* is eligible for a COVID-19 vaccine in Washington State, and it *will* be covered by your insurance!

"So yes, the governors of the west, of Washington, Oregon, and California, will take up the efficacy of science."

I'm so excited to be launching my debut poetry collection, AN INTRODUCTION TO ERROR, in conversation with the brilliant Sarah DeWeerdt! Come out and join us at Elliott Bay Book Co. on Sept. 18 at 7 pm. Cosponsored by @nswa.bsky.social. www.elliottbaybook.com/events/47800

No one would be confused about what's happening if you saw it in another country. No one.

I never met Steve Gilbert, but I wish I had -- the stories of his incredible toxicology research, outreach and advocacy (plus winemaking and winetasting clubs!) are legendary. It was inspiring to work on this memoriam piece. deohs.washington.edu/hsm-blog/mem...

Rachel @maddow.msnbc.com last night: "We do now live in a country that has an authoritarian leader in charge. We have a consolidating dictatorship in our country."

It was “win-win” research for shellfish & crop farmers. Then the USDA canceled it. DEOHS faculty Sarah Collier's project helped shellfish farmers find a market for seaweed that smothers their oyster & geoduck harvests by testing it as fertilizer. @uwnews.uw.edu deohs.washington.edu/hsm-blog/vid...

Over the weekend, we received the sad news that two of our @realchangenews.bsky.social vendors were detained by ICE at the Northwest Detention Center in Tacoma, WA. Real Change is mobilizing quickly to provide assistance to the vendors and their loved ones. www.realchangenews.org/support-ice-...

Seattle folks, please vote by tomorrow! This is a critical primary, a chance to elect much more progressive folks to lead our city. I'm supporting: ✨Katie Wilson for Mayor ✨Erika Evans for City Attorney ✨Dionne Foster and ✨Alexis Mercedes Rinck for City Council www.thestranger.com/stranger-ele...

Good Saturday morning—pour yourself a cup of coffee, and have a poem by @deirdrelockwood.bsky.social 💜☕️

Season of salmonberry then currant raspberry thimbleberry cherry almost blackberry —Deirdre Lockwood, with a new #SummerRiot beauty this morning! @deirdrelockwood.bsky.social

Wildfires force evacuations in the Columbia Gorge, Portland may see reduced MAX service, and Indigenous youth create art focused on "rematriation." This, and more news from across the #Cascadia #bioregion: cascadia-journal.ghost.io/cascadia-tod...

The summer ant invasion has gotten to the point where I am seriously considering getting an anteater.

My friend David Lasky did the drawings for this public service: publichealthinsider.com/2025/07/09/w...

#Cascadia has many options to deny #ICE the ability to operate here. This is one.

I spent one of the most creatively inspiring months of my life at Marble House Project in Vermont. They're open for residency apps through July 20, with a cool ecology-focused one next summer! marblehouseproject.submittable.com/submit

I'm thrilled to share that my debut poetry collection, AN INTRODUCTION TO ERROR, is now available for preorder from Cornerstone Press (for 20% off through Sept. 15): tinyurl.com/yyyjdk9y

The Call for Submissions for our literary journal @aboutplacejournal.bsky.social is open until August 1, 2025. We’re looking for work that explores freedom’s multidimensional nature. Check out the full call ⬇️⬇️

A cross-country renga since sickness came here the crows have stopped commuting what is it they know? From 'Since Sickness Came Here' by Deirdre Lockwood & Rebecca Starks aboutplacejournal.org/issues/caref...

Seattle cannot be complicit in this administration's campaign of fear. Our immigrant neighbors are our neighbors, period—they are our coworkers, our children's classmates, our small business owners, and the backbone of our community. When the federal government targets them, it targets all of us.

Our experiences over the past 3 years suggest it may be valuable to understand these attacks on science as extensions of the Big Lie (of election fraud), Covid denialism, & Jim Crow 2.0 — part of a collective effort to bend reality, science & values to align with the central fantasies of Trumpism.

Thinking of this @propublica.org reporting today about stillbirths of unvaccinated parents during the Delta wave, before CDC had explicitly recommended COVID vaccines for pregnant people and the damage the virus did to the placentas. www.propublica.org/article/covi...

In the early days of the pandemic my dear friend Rebecca Starks and I started a renga via text message between our homes of Seattle & rural Vermont. So grateful to @aboutplacejournal.bsky.social eds for including it in the Careful/Care-full Collaboration issue. aboutplacejournal.org/issues/caref...
