Exclusive: The Trump administration is moving to dismantle the National Center for Atmospheric Research in Colorado, according to a senior White House official, taking aim at one of the world's leading climate research labs.

I know the rhetoric is blatantly otherwise these days but I maintain that empathy, kindness, service, love of and respect for our fellow human being, for animals and the natural world are what will bring humanity forward.

Between June 2022 and June 2024, at least 412 people across the country have been charged for crimes related to their pregnancies, pregnancy losses, or even live births.

This is Portland right now. We’re“under siege” by pollen and potholes, that’s about it. We have a ton of live webcams if you want to watch us go to the farmers markets or walking our dogs, we love dogs.

Throwback Thursday to a time when many of the posts on my feed were people’s musical creations, goofy pets, or photos of the natural world. I miss the days of sharing creativity, cuteness & natural beauty with each other. I also miss rationalism, decency, intelligent discourse and freedom of speech.
