We take tariffs on our beautiful Heard Island very seriously. We will be consulting all mammals and flightless birds and will make an announcement in the near future detailing our response. #heardisland #tariff #mcdonaldisland #trumptariff

A cartoon of a person with a braid in park uniform in a canoe. Title says rally and learn action plan 3/22 Yellow background with text reading: what are we doing? Action: Rally at your closest park! Saturday, March 22nd (check the link in our bio for more details) Plan: Learn about the issues facing your public lands! EDUCATE, ACTIVATE, AGITATE! Shout it out loud 🗣️ Save Public Lands / Save Parks! From Budget Cuts From Staffing Cuts From Drilling and Privatization Take a stand for public land! Protect DIVERSE HISTORY Protect FLORA AND FAUNA Protect PUBLIC LAND STEWARDS Louder for the people in the back: PUBLIC 👏 LAND 👏 IS 👏 NOT 👏 FOR 👏 SALE. Green background with text reading what are we focused on? 🗣️ DOGE plans to terminate leases on dozens of NPS buildings: headquarters, museum spaces, visitor centers, and more. 👀 Interior Secretary Burgum and Energy Secretary Wright plan to review federal lands for resource extraction. This could mean LOGGING in forests, REMOVAL of federal protection, and DELETION of National Monuments. 😡 The attack on DEIA removed funding for staff, initiatives, and intern/volunteer opportunities. 🥶 The continuing hiring freeze means 1 in 4 NPS positions are vacant, with no plan to move forward. 🫠 We can’t forget the incoming Reduction In Force, which may decimate a further 20-30% of the NPS workforce. Blue background with text reading protest etiquette/safety: PLAN AHEAD: What are your designated routes and meeting spots? Do you need/have a permit? PREPARE FOR THE WEATHER: Sunscreen, bug spray, umbrella… you get the point. MAINTAIN AWARENESS: Be prepared to converse with passers-by. Stay safe near roads and other hazards. PACK YOUR GO-BAG: Bring first aid supplies, water, and snacks. LEAVE NO TRACE: Pack it in, pack it out. Bring bags and encourage others to pick up trash. MOST IMPORTANTLY: KNOW YOUR RIGHTS!

Today is Taxonomist Appreciation Day! The synthetic classification used by HORG owes its existence to the tireless taxonomists and stalwart systematists whose work forms the backbone of biology.

I got laid off today, with the rest of 18F.

18F was an elite federal software shop. We made gov't websites work better, more efficiently for the American people. We saved taxpayers from getting screwed over by contractors. And were fired for it.

We made this website to tell our story:
