Shepherdstown, West Virginia gonna West Virginia. As one does. #NoKings

The Grays out at the Shepherdstown, WV "No Kings" protest supporting the National Parks! Great turnout, very peaceful, only two maga vehicles drove by to cause crap.

Shoutout to the organizers. They nailed crowd control and end-of-permit time dispersal.

Thank you @booker.senate.gov for standing for the NPS, for PBS, for CDC, for USAID, for all the things that make America what it can be.

And for ensuring kids learn in US History that the longest ever filibuster was for something they could be proud to answer on a test.

Cherry blossom festival time = ALL THE KITES in DC. Hard to see in the pic but this is at the Washington Monument today. Hundreds of em. We wondered if a helicopter would eat one.

Check yo' staging.

Please remind your favorite NPS, BLM, or USFWS staff that the Employee Assistance Program exists, and can be used for 6 months after separation. Let's take care of each other.

Proposed 'remote workers resistance flag.'

3.25" so far as of 9:30am in Shepherdstown, WV.

We had “Thanksgiving” early with Grandma Nancy. But then today everyone decided we needed a real day-of Thanksgiving (even after 1st's leftovers)

“What about Thanksgiving?”

“You’ve already had Thanksgiving.”

“Yes, but what about Second Thanksgiving?”

I've been having fun over on the @blackhillsparks.bsky.social account with how much engagement one gets here at Bluesky given small follower rates.

But I know it won't last...

Winter is coming.

Mood.

Nice enough fall day, so I rode the C&O Canal Towpath for about 10 miles this morning for the first time. Outstanding. #parkchat
