Tune in this Friday from 11-midnight for another edition of Strange Day Radio! Marvel as your humble DJ plays an all vinyl set and tries to figure out how to use her new studio set up. Guaranteed to be full of good tunes and awkward fiddly moments! Streaming here: valley1049.org/listen-live/

RFK Jr. claims that he can find THE cause of autism within a few months. When I hear someone claiming they have found THE cure for cancer, I have a 100 thoughts whirling in my head. Once misinformation takes flight it is so hard to refute it. Inaccuracy on multiple levels. Brandolini’s law is 🎯🧪🧬

Here's a little Zen for your newsfeed today. From last Saturday night's stroll to see the Pink Moon. I recommend listening with the volume on to enjoy the chorus of frogs ❤️

This morning's moment of Zen. Catching the sunrise over Mt. Si overlooking the Snoqualmie River (taken in downtown Snoqualmie). Sometimes I still can't believe that I get to live here ❤️

Remembering to take in the simplicity and beauty of this spring morning. Robins started their sweet songs a bit too early this morning (but I'm willing to forgive them). The blooms on the trees are lovely. I'm here, alive and well, my heart feels calm and full of gratitude, even in uncertain times.

Trump turning tariffs on and off like a two-year-old with a light switch has already hit our economy hard. We can't live like this, and businesses can't make serious investment decisions in this kind of environment. Congress MUST reassert itself over the power to tariff.

Please take a moment to read this open letter from members of U.S. National Academies of Sciences, Engineering, and Medicine. Every day is an emotional rollercoaster working in research, but I will do whatever I can to keep the work going and the lights on ❤️ Hang in there.
