Wonderful opening day at @poulsbofarmersmarket ! I'm very excited to try these shampoo and conditioner bars from @butteredsoapery ! #farmersmarket #shoplocal #pnwflowers

Did I find a mushroom themed tea service while antique shopping and buy it immediately even though we have 10,000 mugs in our cupboard? Sure did. #mushrooms #antiques

Got out on a walk to enjoy the first day of Spring. I did not beat the rain.

Poulsbo showed up again today! The crowd was nearly double what it was last time. So nice to see our community motivated to fight for change. I hope we start seeing more younger people and families soon. #50501movement #poulsbo

Oxalis Kitchen has the best egg sandwich in town! There's also a hellebore sale at Heronswood Garden today! #kitsapcounty #pnwflowers

Nothing like getting drenched for democracy with your friends and community! #PoulsboWA #50501

Looks like I know what I'll be doing on my lunch break tomorrow!

People's Union USA's economic boycott is tomorrow, Feb. 28th. For 24 hours, no spending at major retailers, no gas, no online orders. Try to avoid major networks and social media. Essentials like groceries and medication are fine, and if you need something, try to shop loca! #economicblackout

A hint of Spring after the wind storm. #pnw

Little gifts from a coworker. Meet Inky, Sootsie, Coal Porter, and Pepper.

Come support local filmmakers this weekend! Our colleagues at NWIFC worked so hard to get this made and share the story of the fight for treaty rights in Washington State. I was honored to be able to share our archival records with the documentarians.

PNPTC's wildlife program and our S'Klallam partners collared our first cougar of the year for the Olympic Cougar Project! Meet Haven!

I love the peacefulness of snow.

Trying to get back into my watercolor hobby. I definitely slacked on it last year. This was my most recent attempt from December.

Finished a big rehousing project this week! Back in October our archives room had a major roof leak and I had to move the entire collection to other areas. Boxes in this room needed to be rehoused and stored on new shelving units. #archives #soloarranger

It isn't just federal workers who are being affected, but also institutions and communities who rely on federal grants. Our local tribal communities, including my organization, rely on grants from the BIA, EPA, and NOAA for natural resources and treaty rights protection work. This is stressful.

Beautiful view on our dinner date last night. Trying to find some moments of joy in this chaos.
