I'm not here to post pretty photos. I'm part of the resistance to save our #nationalparks and public lands.

In 28 days, the Adopt a Ranger program received over 1700 volunteers to support our public lands stewards. Some folks had special requests of non-park rangers they wanted to support, too

Help spread the holiday spirit by adopting a park ranger!

With the government shutdown and staff reductions, this holiday season will be challenging for those in the green and grey impacted by the current state of affairs.

Ran into our friend Bob at the rally yesterday.

Me: Hey Bob! I knew we'd see you here. How's it going?

Bob: excellent day for a rally! Let me see, what does your sign say? 👀👀

Me: ...

Bob: Of course. 🙄 I wouldn't expect anything other than this., Patch Lady. 😆

Hey park folks! Thinking about your career in the park service and what's happening? Protect yourselves and the parks we love by unionizing with @nffe.bsky.social

Welp, if there was ever a time to get loud, it's right now. Congress, Burgham, and the admin should all hear from us.

A12: Please do not visit our national parks sites right now if you can avoid it. If you must go, bring your patience, be very careful, and be kind to park staff.

And get loud for our parks! #parkchat

A8: I don't know how tall they get, I sadly haven't visited there yet. But it did work in its park cousin, Big Thicket. Same, same 😂 #parkchat

I really hope national organizations in the public lands space have set up a "shadow government" of sorts to keep track of what is being dismantled and a plan to save what we have and what to do day one when the opportunity arises.

I recently decided to learn how to sew. While waiting for my fist class to start, I nervously showed up to the shop 45 minutes early, to peruse and get a feel for this new hobby.
Noticing a shelf of park-inspired designs, I asked the staff person if it was from a particular design house. 1/

Saturday is National Public Lands Day and it could be the last, if this administration has its way.

How will you use your voice to protect our national parks and public lands this weekend?

A few weeks ago I created a digital 'zine for folks who needed info on how to start their activism, or were stuck and needed some new ideas.

Now there is a limited run on a print version of An Activist's Guide to our National Parks.

Huzzah!
