Gee.... I wonder which when I feel like based on my job. Empathy drains are a real thing in higher ed. And without getting anything to fill that bucket back up it just becomes permanent exhaustion. Would be nice if we felt like we were supported more in that process.

For the record, absolutely not flying anytime soon. 5 air related accidents in less time than Trump's been in office. But sure, there's no issue here.

Trump’s direct assault on trans rights is hitting WA. From banning gender-affirming care to forcing schools to out LGBTQ+ students, the attacks continue. But WA Dem leaders are fighting back. Let’s stand up and speak out!

As a certified weather junkie, I can't imagine what could possibly go wrong without NOAA science....

One person. One fucking person is controlling all of our destiny, and it ain't the orange felon. Capitalism that made one man the richest and millions of idiots who gave him the power to destroy.
Losing NOAA would be devastating. Project 2025 authors want to get rid of it because it monitors climate change, and privatize the information it currently provides for free, so you'll have to buy information about the weather and the winds (imperative for mariners).
I have covered NOAA and it’s work for like 15 years and this is brutal. If you’re there and want to chat or share anything, signal is davelevitan.26

It's a war on science, not just social identity. It's not just wrong it's scientifically wrong.

With our reproductive and gender-affirming care under attack, Washington State stands firm on protecting everyone’s right to care. The Shield Law passed in 2023, ensures that no one faces civil or criminal action for providing or receiving lawful care here.
