PSA FOR NEVADA VOTERS:
Check your voter registration status and mail-in ballot preference.
Some, like myself, have noticed party affiliation and mai-in ballot changes after the cyberattack.

Happy National Park Week!
I finally made it to Alaska last year and visited 3 parks but Glacier Bay was the highlight for me.
Let's keep doing what we can to support OUR parks and the rangers and all federal employees.

Hope everyone had a chance to see the Blood Moon last night. It was pretty impressive. Two great eclipses in less than a year! #lunareclipse

Happy 100th anniversary to Glacier Bay National Park. One of the most stunning places I've seen so far. And thank you to the hard working Rangers who make visiting so fun and educational. #NationalParks

In this month of attacks on public agencies, we decided to take a look at the economic benefit the National Park Service provides to desert communities. It's worth noting that aside from Saguaro NP in Tucson and Tule Springs NM in Las Vegas, the 58 NPS units in the desert are all in red districts.🧵

More than 1,000 National Park staff have lost their jobs.
This is not okay. Park staff work every single day to keep us safe, teach us and do important research to help parks thrive. Join NPCA in urging Congress to roll back these devastating job cuts. npca.org/1000jobs

I just want to say there's not one part of the country that's more important than another. I love California and I love Asheville. No one deserves any of the natural disasters that have happened in the last few months. If you think like this then you're trash #bekind

Would you be happy or sad?
Pearce Ferry, located in the #Arizona side of Lake Mead NRA, is the final take out Colorado River tours and rafting. After spending days on the river, I imagine you'd have mixed emotions at the end of such a life-changing trip. #traveladdicts #travelsky #roadtrip ✈️🗺️

Are starter packs still a thing? I made this one when I first joined Bluesky and reunited with these #roadtripchat (my former Twitter chat) regulars. Who else is here now?

The BLM is getting ready to sign the Record of Decision for the Western Solar Plan. Very unpopular plan will weaken regulations for solar developers who never care about the resources they damage.
