My former employer, a HRSA grantee, had to lay off a number of staff last month - including me. We had already received numerous emails instructing us on language that we could no longer use about addiction treatment and recovery. Sorry to see my former employer's website is now "under maintenance."

I said a few words on the @teslatakedown.com call for the big day of action on 3/29.

I'm much more at ease in behind the scenes roles but I must keep speaking up bc I can. This regime is trying to crush dissent--look at the permanent residents detained for their political views. It's dangerous.

Over the past few weeks, we've seen sweeping layoffs to nearly every single federal agency. Firing thousands of employees with no notice and no reason is cruel, leaving individuals unable to serve in the places they love, losing their paychecks, and withdrawing their health insurance.

Here is the latest on the H5N1 bird flu - which led to a health care emergency declaration in California after it spread to dairy herds up and down the state.

Let's hope this doesn't lead to another pandemic like 1918, which killed millions:

The headline says it all (but read the article too!).

DNR is on the wrong path. Cutting mature forests on public lands is a crime against humanity—we don't mean that metaphorically. We need these forests, and they need us. (2nd article in this week's series.)

WA’s older forests capture carbon better than nearly any other
These big trees, in their roots, needles and branches, hold more carbon longer than any young plantation. They are world champion climate change fighters.

Bobby, a retired math teacher, who I was floored to realize AFTER a full day of tromping through the woods, is 86. "Old growth forests help us feel our connection to the past, clean the air we breathe, & are a deep source of beauty. We cannot live well without them."
