Do you enjoy finding new ways to change and evolve? Love to travel? Always up for meeting new people? You could be the next new mpox variant. 🦠
When multiple strains of a virus are circulating at the same time, they can recombine in novel ways…this time it’s mild, but next time?
(Ahem, vaccines!)

I grew up in pre-reg L.A.
As a kid, a day of play meant a stabbing feeling in your lungs on every inhale. I thought--like the ache in my arms or my legs from playing hard--that my 'lung muscles' hurt. The inversion layer poisoned our air until regs cleaned it up in the early 90s. We CAN'T go back.

The fact that four hostile drones tried to hit Zelenskyy’s plane & it’s barely a blip in the news cycle should terrify everyone. We’ve been dragged so deep into the chaos era that an attempted strike on a world leader doesn’t even break through. When this becomes normal, the world is in real danger.

Where should we be for this time of year in terms of snowfall amounts at Crater Lake National Park. The answer is 29” of snowfall. Right now we are at zero inches. Hopefully we start to see that change as we head into this weekend and next week.
