It is very easy to call your representatives’ offices. They have to log your calls and the call numbers are meaningful. You don’t even have to try to convince anyone; just call and tell them your concerns. They are there to represent you. Let them know what that means. www.usa.gov/elected-offi...

If you have been affected by the fires in LA, or are concerned about your ability to keep precious Drosophila strains going during the latest funding crisis, we will host your strains as a backup. Please email me. Please amplify. If you are also able to host fly strains, add your name as well.

What would I do? Senate, House, DNC & Dem Govs EACH need to have a Rapid React WarRoom staffed 24/7/365. They need to have a rotating Senator, Rep, & Gov on call all times to post video, TikTok, statements & do interviews. Pressers are old, tired & mostly useless. Welcome to 2025.

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

In lieu of the “arctic blast” hitting us later this evening, here’s the coldest photo I’ve taken 😂 I was on the way to Jackson Hole to catch the season opening of the tram and stopped at this overlook on the way. The car was reading -18° when I stepped out ❄️ #photographersunited #photography

I took a moment to pause tonight. Seeking some peace before the storm ahead. Remember, self-care as we go forward. Even in war zones, there is R&R. Fall back and take care of yourself when you need it. The rest of us can fill your spot in the line until you're ready to come back.

It's important to know how people get the bird flu so that we learn how to prevent infections. @andrewpekosz.bsky.social has details on how the person in Louisiana was exposed to H5N1 🙏 publichealth.jhu.edu/2025/bird-fl...

It is apparently our fate to live through a time of grief. But it is our choice to live through a time of hope.

The damage would likely be immeasurable. This is the stuff of nightmares.

“It started as a respiratory illness – or so everyone thought. But it quickly became apparent that SARS-CoV-2, the virus that causes COVID-19, was so much more” We desperately need more reporting like this making it crystal clear that Covid is not “just” a respiratory virus.

Merrick Garland’s inaction may have ended democracy in the United States. But at least he’ll always have his norms.
