See my alt text descriptions… I’m so very sorry it has come to this. I will never forget and will speak openly and freely about the threat this President and his enablers and sycophants pose to our nation.

The talent pool that is being lost within NOAA is immeasurable - some of the best and brightest that have dedicated their lives to the betterment of society and service to others The people and the mission were way more important than any paycheck So incredibly saddened for so many

All probationary federal employees at NOAA’s EMC that’s responsible for keeping all US weather model systems running have been fired with 1 hours notice. And that includes me and colleagues. We will not go quietly because we care about the NOAA mission to protect the public.

Welp, I too was one of the NWS probationary folks that got terminated today. 8 years as an AWIPS contractor previously, I finally got the Fed job I had been wanting. Worked on implementing the next generation of capabilities for AWIPS. A lot of promising stuff coming that is now up in the air...

Last Tuesday, I was set to give a talk on 'climate change in the Northeast' at a retirement home but had to cancel due to hourly job threats. After nearly two weeks of overwhelming uncertainty, today it happened. I was fired from my dream of working at NOAA. I'm so sorry to everyone also affected.

To probationary federal employees who have been terminated: Democracy Forward has filed a first-of-its-kind class-wide complaint with the Office of Special Counsel. If civil servants want to join in the complaint, you can email [email protected]

Just in case I have any followers who believe Federal employees are just “bureaucrats”. There is a lot of weatherspeak here, because understanding & forecasting weather is tough stuff. Yet this talented young man is potentially losing his job only because he has <1 year of service. Unconscionable 😡

Hi! I recorded a little mini-special called “Trauma Response” with Don’t Tell Comedy! I am really proud of these jokes, and I hope you enjoy them! It would really mean a lot to me if you’d watch the set and comment share it if you like it! Watch here: m.youtube.com/watch?v=wTpq...

I just rediscovered the rest of a bag of pre-pandemic Hershey’s miniatures in my office filing cabinet. Still tasty! 😋
