I live in the shadow of Mt. St. Helens where I write about cameras and other tech, create YouTube videos, and spend a lot of time out in nature photographing wildlife and the places they live.

I had this photo pinned to the top of my Twitter feed for four years because whenever I look at it I remember happier times. Those memories grow more precious to me with every passing day.

If Drax is planning to move into your area, do everything in your power to keep them out. They are burning old growth forests for a few extra fist-fulls of dirty money.
Truckloads of trees: Drax sourced wood pellets from old growth forests in B.C. in 2024, and likely 2025

If the rest don’t oust Schumer immediately, then the entire U.S. Senate sold us out. They think we’re stupid. It’s insulting.
These 8 Senators sold us out to Trump:
Hassan
King
Cortez-Masto
Shaheen
Kaine
Fetterman
Durbin
Rosen
Understand This Fact: Chuck Schumer is behind this. None of these 8 are up for reelection in 2026. Schumer asked them vote yes—they agreed. He's such a coward that he folded and won't even own it.

So @schumer.senate.gov really thinks we don’t understand that he orchestrated this by getting senators not up for re-election to vote yes?

A reminder - last March, republicans promised to restore $1.1B in funding to DC in exchange for funding the government, and Mike Johnson never took it up in the House.

If you are represented by a centrist Democrat, make sure they lose their next primary to a progressive.
Schumer and his cronies sold us out to the Nazis and got nothing in return.
We must hold these corrupt cowards accountable for their actions and fix the Democratic party.

The centrists in the Senate Democratic caucus saw that the country was rallying to the party in the 2025 elections and resolved that they would do anything they could to kill that momentum.

Caving in to the Republicans is the absolute dumbest thing Senate Democrats could do. It is insane that they are even contemplating such a stupid and cowardly course of action.

Democrats would do well to remember that trusting a party defined by deceit and bad faith isn’t just naïve, it’s dangerous to democracy itself.

I remember so clearly the feeling of disillusionment when I realized that all of us, so hopeful of the change we were promised, were essentially discarded. Together we could have done more but big money won out.

These giant ride-on leaf blowers are the absolute worst, and it's insane that Washington State Parks utilizes leaf blowers of all descriptions so extensively.
They are hideously loud, wasteful, and unnecessary. They have no place in our parks and other #PublicLands. #Parkchat

As someone who enjoys yardsaling, I really can't stand resalers who go around grabbing the best stuff to sell at a markup.
They're typically very rude, unpleasant individuals, and they ruin things for normal people.
