Friends at @standupforscience.bsky.social remind everyone today, this matters — especially as a winter storm approaches.
Weather apps, better warnings, more precise forecasts come from NCAR research.
I know there's a lot right now @kaine.senate.gov and @markwarner.bsky.social. Do what you can.

I honestly think that many people don't know what their public libraries offer besides books. I think that everyone should go on a public library treasure hunt in 2026. Go explore what your library systems offer at no cost to you. Report back to me :)
