This will have a huge impact on state libraries and museums. Yikes!!!—word is, RIP to the Institute of Museum and Library Services.

Visiting Amache Part 3 #colorado #nationalpark #visit

2nd video on Amache, the Japanese Internment Camp in Colorado. #History we should all revisit now. #detentioncenters More videos in this series on Instagram and TikTok

Thank you #bluesky for allowing longer videos. I’ll start with an important series I’m doing covering the Japanese Internment Camp sites I’ve visited #immigration

I cannot even fathom the restraint #Zelensky is displaying, having to sit this close to someone playing such politics with the future and lives of his entire country. To lead In combat zones as he has and then suffer this performative “show more gratitude” fealty test… #ukraine

Charles Young is an important figure to honor, now more than ever. I originally made this video in 2023 after visiting his National Monument in 2022. I am honored to revisit his legacy for #blackhistorymonth and to combat the false narratives being propagated today. #nationalpark #veteran #nps #ohio

Dear @apnews.com and @reuters.com Please consider reporting “around” them. Meaning, report the actions/ issues but never names. Cite other bodies and staff, but never the WH and DJT. Don’t report on statements in rooms you’re locked out of. The facts outside those doors need reporting bad enough.

For those who need it. Grab these moments too. #losangeles

Imagine giving 24 hours' notice that you're toying w/ lives attached to 3 Trillion $ of the economy with no timeline or clear endgame other than loose, politically charged language. You better imagine it b/c that is what is happening. I can’t think of a single sector… 🧵

@skylight.social I like what you’re trying to do and would enjoy being a part. I don’t have much content under a minute but here’s an example. #skylight #skylightsocial #atproto #atprototiktok

Thank you #MLKDay 2025 #LosAngeles www.tiktok.com/t/ZT2RYdDv4/

Stay safe and share good resources for those in need. www.laworks.com/2025fires #losangeles #lafires #calfire #lafd #palisades #altadena #pasadena

The Eaton Fire is the closest to our home. My colleagues at L.A. Works have been diligently creating a resource page with verified resources for donations and other needs, featured here in this briefing. Keep sharing quality info and stay safe folks - laworks.com/2025fires #lawildfires #donations

Los Angeles needs our help! The fires are affecting countless Angelenos—your support can make a difference. Visit www.laworks.com/2025fires to learn how you can help those in need.

Good resource for Los Angeles County residents - Information includes Evacuation Orders, Evac Centers, Animal Shelters, Road Closures, and housing support from AirBnB for those who have been displaced. 211la.org/LA-Wildfires

We are good so far, but are monitoring the lesser Nationally reported Eaton Canyon fire to our east. Fire Safety Rec- WATCH DUTY is the best app I’ve found for as close to real time updates as we can get as the general public. And they’re a nonprofit! #losangelesfires #pasadena #wildfires #safety

Beautiful day to visit the Palace! I can’t imagine what the experience was like in 1915 at the PPIE. To see this, hear the first transcontinental phone call, or see the 1st indirect colored lighting used to light up what must have felt like a future with so much possibility! #beautiful #architecture

Groceries, y’all. Did you know about this?

One of our favorite photos: Old Faithful at sunrise.

Last night’s #sunset in Dana Point #california

From my first trip to the Olympic in 2004. Take the time, y’all. #olympic #seattle #nationalparks

It’s my first full Bluesky day. I’m already more at peace with a feed that truly reflects my interests and not pushed bought and paid for Muskaganda.

Only by working together can we give people hope, keep our wildlife wild and keep our home whole. And ensure the future of a world that sustains us all. 💚 nature.ly/3AA8VU6

Working on a reel about my visit to Montezuma National. This site was almost lost bc of heavy foot traffic in the early to mid 1900’s. The conservation story here is a really good one to learn from. Hats off to the @officialnps.bsky.social for the work they do to protect + make accessible. #history

Anyone else love an image of a road disappear into the distance? All my photos are mine. Anyone guess where this is? I’ll give a hint - New Mexico, but can anyone ID the mountain in the distance? #newmexico
