If tsunami waves reached Oregon, the first waves would arrive around 11:40 p.m. The National Weather Service cautioned that waves could be dangerous for many hours, and the first tsunami wave or surge might not be the highest.

If you've been following any of the terrible data-related news coming out of the administration but haven't been able to step back and get a sense of the big picture, I have good news for you, which is that we just published a timeline compiling soooo many wild stories and events at @unbreaking.org
Since day one, the Trump administration has recklessly exploited Americans’ sensitive data in efforts to deport immigrants, restrict access to critical benefits and services, and gut the federal workforce. Here’s what we’ve learned so far: unbreaking.org/issues/data-...

Thanks for the reminder @janemunday.bsky.social. Every summer, I repost this article DROWNING DOES NOT LOOK LIKE DROWNING. To date, I know of FOUR kids who were saved after someone who'd clicked on the link learnt how to spot actual drowning. Take time to read and pass on.

Emad is raising in Swedish Krona but you can change to your own currency on the donation page (or Swedish Krona is about 10 cents to the dollar 100Kr= $10)
I’m sharing a Palestinian account every day and today is Emad. Emad has a degree in primary education but had been working at a plastic factory as a maintenance technician. He told me his family (Yomna, 6 and Salma, 4) were able to go out and get Shawarma sometimes- now he has lost everything.

My doctor changed my diagnosis to "Endocrine Disorder" in November without me asking--because he saw the writing on the wall.
Ask your doctors to do the same--Just to protect your access to life-saving medication.
