Here for democratizing science, broadening participation, meeting climate and energy challenges and rising up Appalachia. And of course nerding on rocks. Prof. of Geology at West Virginia University with a penchant for sedimentary rocks. Opinions all mine.

Newly posting to BlueSky. I am a sedimentary rock-ologist, currently working on paleoclimate, geoscience education and carbon sequestration research in Best Virginia 🧪 Who else is here for the Earth science?

This morning Minnesota woke up to news of a brutal act of violence targeting public servants. I am heartbroken to learn that our Speaker Melissa Hortman, Sen. John Hoffman and their spouses have been shot.

Watch the slow motion: it appears to me that the officers discuss the photographer and reporter before the one on the end fires on them (it looks to me like he's aiming at the camera, not the reporter, but you decide)

Senator Ted Cruz posted a dramatic video of LAPD cars on fire with the caption “this… is… not… peaceful.” What he didn’t mention? The footage was from 2020, not 2025. His post on X falsely implied it was current, part of a broader effort to spread lies and manufacture a crisis.

Lots of talk today about the demise of BlueSky. For whatever it's worth, it's been a boon to indie publishers like us. Twitter and Facebook have pretty much silenced us, so the engagement here has, and continues to be, wonderful.

“Hands Off!” at the Kentucky Capitol in Frankfort.
Record SMASHED
The record for the longest filibuster was set by U.S. Sen. Strom Thurmond (SC). He spoke for 24 hours 18 minutes against the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
He was one of many senators who filibustered for 57 days up until the Civil Rights Act was passed on June 19, 1957.
Hope to see this broken today.

Hello Hillary!
Hi, BlueSky. It's Hillary.
I've joined up here to help get the word out about an important election in Wisconsin tomorrow, and other ways to defend our democracy against those who think votes can be bought.

114 years ago, a fire broke out at the 10-story Triangle Shirtwaist factory in NYC and killed 146 workers, mostly young women. They were trapped inside because the owners locked the fire escape exit doors.

@nicolefoy.bsky.social HSI/ICE went around Morgantown WV the past couple days and took many people from our community, mainly poor restaurant workers it seems . It’s hollowed out our town even more that has already been hit by closure of Viatris, RIFs at WVU, and federal agency RIFs. 💔
