Hiya folks who I may already know,

I'm Meredith or MSJ! In my 20s, AF vet, at undergrad college 5/5 (long story), consuming knowledge about nature and disasters since 2004.

My research focus is TC RI and storm surge.

I shoot everything you see with my phone (SE) or my mom’s Canon EOS 350D.

Woohooooo, here we go! Episcopal consecration without permission is a "latae sententiae" excommunication, ie, the excommunication is automatic and at the instant the offense is committed. www.vatican.va/archive/cod-...

This VAR check is hilarious. The defender pulled the shirt over the Real Sociedad aka Real Sickosiodad attacker.

A pen was awarded.

I remember we made this for National Signing day a few years ago and very few folks got that we were spelling Sickos with the hats.

Everyone was mad we didn’t list their school here.

In less than a week the Kennedy Center has effectively closed and our local DC paper has been gutted, both by billionaires.

I don’t think immigrants are our problem in this country.

Can't stress enough how *crazily illegal* this is:

Rubio may have been exercising authority after he no longer lawfully could

Byron—running NARA day to day under that authority—may have taken actions that are void from the beginning

Byron may *not* lawfully serve as/perform functions of Archivist
*BREAKING: Rubio is out as acting Archivist, and has illegally named an ineligble political appointee to "to serve and perform the functions of archivist"—which he did not have the authority to do.

My reporting expands on @federalnewsnetwork.com's scoop:

For example, you can view the likelihood of a tornado occurring for any given state..

Among the other outrages in today's news from the @washingtonpost.com, management has gutted the Pulitzer-winning climate team, according to @sammyroth.bsky.social. Their work has been so important — one more reason to be heartbroken today. And pissed. www.climatecoloredgoggles.com/p/washington...

Weird thing is the climate (and weather) team that was heavily boosted under Bezos was about the best in the business a few years ago. Then dismantled because reasons? I’d like to go back to a world that makes some sense

DC is actually being treated thoroughly as occupied territory. Tearing down monuments/media institutions, hostile takeover of its core economic engine and industry, suppression of its local municipal government and security forces

So, remember that Episcopal bishop in New Hampshire that told priests to get their wills in order because “we are entering a new era of martyrdom"?

I ran across historical precedent for that today.

It's from a radio transcript @rns.org produced about a Lutheran bishop in Denmark…

…in 1943.
