Once again, it’s wild to watch the world continue on as normal while everyone I know is falling to pieces. 2025 is truly a dystopian hellscape.

State AGs are looking for federal workers who have just been illegally fired to stand as litigants in a new lawsuit trying to freeze further action by DOGE. DM me if that’s you and you’re interested and you’re live in one of the following states: NM, AZ, CA, CT, MD, MI, MN, NV, OR, WA, RI, or VT.

Even after a #wildfire has been put out, particulate matter in the air can pose a risk to your health even when you’re indoors. @joeallenjoe.bsky.social, associate professor of exposure assessment science, describes 4 methods for reducing your health risk when returning to a burn zone after a fire.

PSA to Pasadena folks! There's still a good amount of ash around and PM2.5 numbers are high (aq.caltech.edu), so stay safe and mask up!

I hear there are stories coming, but putting the brakes on our country’s world-leading medical research system feels like a five alarm fire and I don’t see a newspaper that even has it on the front page yet

Lead is neurotoxic. Ongoing concern is lead in settled dust that gets resuspended, continued migration from the burn areas via wind/cars/trucks, and via surface water.

Ugh mine was like this too. Plus these accounts seem to have rolled over from the previous @ vp and @ flotus accounts, so people previously following Kamala Harris and Jill Biden now follow these accounts too. Check your follows, friends!

Just had a sample of the Eaton Fire ash that is in my driveway run on the department XRF. Is there titanium (new house paint)? Yup. Lead (old house paint)? You betcha. Heavy metals? Check. Treat that ash like it's toxic folks (because it is)
