Hiker, gamer, map maker. I didn’t expect to post much, because I’m mostly just here to listen, but dang if I haven’t changed my mind.

I treated myself to this goofy junk pile of a Lego ship for my mental health and built it with my kids. Now it sits in my desk in a place of honor. The show was definitely a little silly, but very Star Wars to me and my 9 year old likes it too.

Please join me, Senator Chris Coons and @bluntrochester.senate.gov on Monday at 12:30 pm for a virtual town hall. Please register here: docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1F...

Democratic Rep. Robert Garcia has published a letter sent to him by Trump’s Department of Justice threatening to potentially prosecute him for criticizing Elon Musk.

One more time, because I’m not afraid of being fired from the VA - and I will NOT let this go quietly.

listen to this. Elon can barely form a sentence right now.

Elon’s busy schedule today is claiming astronauts were left in the ISS for political reasons, getting corrected by an ISS astronaut, throwing a fit where he calls the astronaut a slur, then complaining that we should deorbit the ISS

The American people deserve answers immediately. Who was fired and why? Dismissing critical staff from the FAA has dangerous implications.

P4A 2025 is officially the biggest P4A of all time!! #P4A2025

We’re here because

Made my first ever Project for Awesome donation this year. I’m a new convert to this amazing community. Glad I got to see my name float across the screen during this hilarious pickle juice moment. (I love pickle juice) 😆 #p4a2025

These dummies could have had a compliant corporate Dem with literal Uber lobbyists on her staff and instead they did school shootings and measles

Once more the snow has fallen! The birds were unhappy, but not I!

If the president can ignore court orders and illegally circumvent, Congress, there is no Constitution. It’s gone. There’s no enumerated right that the president can’t take from you, no law Congress can pass that is binding, and no court that can protect you from any of it. It’s the whole ballgame.

Fascists fear crowds and guillotines because that’s what gets them in the end - and you should loudly remind them of this every chance you get (not least of all, because it works 👇)

This is the corruption Elon Musk is desperately searching for.

Telling on himself. Lazy people always assume none of the rest of us can self motivate.

I don’t sports much, but I’m married into an Eagles family from Philly and I love all birds. So fly eagles fly!

One of the Pileated woodpeckers that are slowly chipping away at all the poor Ash trees that have died in my swamp.

One of the locals stopping in to remind me that it might snow soon and that I should be stocked up on seed and suet and ask WHY is the tray empty?

I’ve loved Star Wars since I first saw The Empire Strikes Back on VHS when I was like 9. Just finished watching Skeleton Crew and it was awesome! Star Wars can have its ups and downs, but this one was definitely worth the watch.

This is what revisionist history looks like, in real time. And this also is why it might appear that archaeologists and historians have to dig deep to discover the existence of powerful women and marginalized groups -- because their legacies are so often erased.

Do you know anyone in Congress, Mr. Schumer? If you do, maybe you should telephone and ask them to take care of it for you.

We should be upending the shit out of their lives since they seem so hell bent on doing so to the rest of us!

Trump says there must be "pain" for Americans in this idiotic trade war of his. Ask yourself, what pain does TRUMP suffer? What pain will the billionaire class suffer? Why is it that when Republicans talk about pain and sacrifice, it's always YOU who suffers for their vision?

The Dumbest of Trade Wars enacted by the Dumbest Administration for these Dumbest of Times.

If, say, George Soros took over a government department and set up camp with his underlings, there would be heaps of dead Republicans in the streets who had stroked out

Hey, man, uh, not to tell you how to do your job but uh, you know, uh, and I hate to bother you, but if it’s not too much trouble, if you happen to find the time, maybe fucking do something?

Everyone read this

This is another example of an idiot. I love my parents, but they had yardsticks and flyswatters. And yet here I am unable to focus anyways. Fuck this child abuser.

I wish everyday I had a better camera. Spotted this very skittish duck group in the local river and wanted to show my family how cool it looked, but this was the best I could do.

I’m going to completely ignore this change as a cartographer. The idiot has no real reason, explanation or logical excuse to abuse his power to change something in my field. It’s the Gulf of Mexico now and until I die. I’ll be reporting it right back to Google as a data mistake.

Withdrawing US funding from the World Health Organization is a potential disaster for public health worldwide, due to the impact it will have on the important work the WHO does. Preventing the CDC from even *talking* with WHO personnel is a step much farther toward undermining global health & safety

I’m a professional cartographer. I never have to map anywhere near the gulf, but I’ll be damned if I ever call it anything but the Gulf of Mexico. What a stupid idea.
