One year ago, WTA asked you to protect climate progress by defending the #ClimateCommitmentAct. Ninety-five percent of funds have already been put to work on projects, touching every county in our state.

Learn about some of the big projects funded by this act statewide 🌲
See how your vote is creating healthy forests and new trails thanks to the Climate Commitment Act
One year ago, Washington residents voted to defend the Climate Commitment Act. Now, we’d like to celebrate how this act is benefiting lands in Washington state and the people who enjoy them.

I just have to think the senators knew how much hot water this was going to be because we all had, what, an hour? to figure out what they were up to and call in, if we weren’t online on a Sunday evening we would have missed the whole thing

Hey @hakeem-jeffries.bsky.social and @schumer.senate.gov: compromising with fascists is compliance. Read the room. Do your jobs. Protect your constituents.

It’s time for Speaker Johnson to cut the ridiculous excuses and do his job. Adelita Grijalva won an election more than 6 weeks ago, and she still hasn’t been sworn in to represent more than 800,000 Arizonans. Read her op-ed:
I was elected 6 weeks ago. Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear me in.
Speaker Mike Johnson refuses to swear me into office, an unprecedented and starkly undemocratic position that sets a very dangerous precedent.

Late submission for the #Stunday prompt today. I was out chasing around the Oregon Coast today.
More on that later!
This massive cloud cap couldn't hide all of #MountShasta, but the upper elevations over 10,000 feet were shrouded.
#Mountain #snow #📷 #scape #MountainMonday #ECK #Nature #Clouds
A wide photo of a large shelf of cloud hiding a massive mountain, like a giant mushroom cap on it's top. Above is blue sky with very high thin clouds. Below the cap of cloud looks very turbulent and much less light, but dark streaks of rocky mountainside are seen radiating downslope, contrasting with white lanes of snow, also radiating downward. Below the bare snowy, and rocky slopes are vast tracks of dark forest, with snow peeking through the trees. The big cloud cap stretches all the way across the image. The mountain in hiding is Mount Shasta California, US. It's a large volcanic mountain that stands over 14,000 feet high.

Days like this in the #Fall in the #PNW are not common! And seeing The #ColumbiaRiver still enough to reflect the Fall colors is rarer still!
We *might* get another chance for these conditions this weekend! (11-8)

A photo of a mountainside with trees turning Fall colors mixed with evergreen forest. The trees turning are mainly rusty orange in color. A blue sky with a few fluffy clouds is above the mountainside. The clouds are mainly to the left side. Below the mountain view is The Columbia River, which is remarkably calm, and reflects the entire scene above in it's water, with only a little ripple. This view across the river is of the Washington State side as seen for Oregon.

Democrats are so happy about Tuesday’s wins, they have forgotten that we have an opportunity to pick up a House seat in a few weeks.

It’s a longshot, but Johnson is going to try to wait until Van Epps is seated to reopen the House, to cancel Grijalva’s vote.

Every DNC resource should be in play.

Dear Physicists and Physics fans,

I would like to encourage you to celebrate #WomenInPhysics Day this Friday, November 7th.

Why November 7th? Because it is the birthday of two of the most impactful women physicists of the 1900's: Marie Curie and Lise Meitner. 🎢 ⚛️ 🧪 👩‍🔬
WOMEN IN PHYSICS DAY! In honor of the pioneering women in physics who broke down barriers to do what they love, we celebrate Women in Physics Day on November 7th, the birthdate of both Marie Curie and Lise Meitner. Marie Skrodowska-Curie (1867-1934) Radioactivity pioneer, two-time Nobel laureate A giant of science, Marie Sktodowska-Curie conducted pioneering research on radioactivity, a term she coined. She discovered two elements, founded two medical research centres, won two Nobels, and invented mobile X-ray units (dubbed petites Curies), saving countless lives in World War Lise Meitner (1878-1968) Nuclear physicist When Lise Meitner was a teen, Austria restricted female higher education. She pursued physics anyway, and 25 years later became the first woman in Germany to hold a professorship in physics. She helped discover nuclear fission, but was contentiously not awarded the 1944 Nobel alongside collaborator Otto Hahn. NOVEMBER 7TH

This popped up in one of my streams today, and I had completely forgotten that it existed! I loved it's quirky vibe back then! (~93')
Purely kismet that my wallpaper happens to *be* Space! 😆 (Image my own)
I'll post a link in the comments...
#Music #90s
A screen grab of a song title, "The Female Of The Species", by a band called Space. It is playing on a device called 'Disassociating', and the background wallpaper on the phone is an image of space! It is a section of the Summer Milky Way, with loads of stars running from top left to bottom right.

Waterfall vs. Fall!
This past Sunday was glorious in the Columbia River Gorge. Tons of people out soaking in the light & colors before the rain closed in again!
Great to see to good news this morning!
#WaterfallWednesday #FallColor #ColumbiaGorge #Oregon #Fall #🍁 #ECK #📷 #LandscapePhotography #scape
A photo of a tree with leaves in Fall season colors of gold and green taking up most of the image on the right half. There is gentle light highlighting some of the leaves. The left side of the image features a two tiered waterfall next to the tree and in the background. The upper tier drops down and disappears briefly before re-emerging with the lower tier which fans out slightly before dropping behind small shrubs. In front of the falls and shrubs is a dark wooden footbridge with a blurred figure on it from longer exposure. Below the bridge is a jumble of logs jammed in the creek. And below the small log jam, the creek runs free between large and small boulders covered in moss. Taking up much of the left side of the image next to the falls are tall conifer trees in dark green.
