A few months on from my review video back in August and the new bachmann 0-6-0 is still the first steam switcher I reach for when I want to move cars around the layout, a very good sign.

Discworld QOTD, from I Shall Wear Midnight “She heard him mutter, 'Can you take away this grief?' 'I'm sorry,' she replied. 'Everyone asks me. And I would not do so even if I knew how. It belongs to you. Only time and tears take away grief; that is what they are for.’”

This is how you support your scientific community, @ametsoc.org. Excellent work! 🧪🌊 Note to other professional societies. Speak out, yes. But, words are not enough in these times. Help your members, and that includes those in underrepresented groups.

Winds have roared relentlessly since midday Thursday... frequently hitting 30 to 45 mph. Below are the peak gusts since midnight. It will remain gusty until later today. Mercifully, gentle winds are forecast this weekend. More at cwg.live

While I can say I've never fallen for the sticker that tells you not the paper towel dispenser is voice activated, I have absolutely waved my hand like a crazy person under manual paper towel dispensers many, many times. Lol

Public comment is now open for passport gender marker changes. You can go here to go to each of the three proposed passport rules, and submit comment. My suggestion: be unique, argue for trans-inclusive policies, against the constitutionality of the changes, etc. www.reddit.com/r/Passports/...

If I had a band or a label, I would do a punk cover of "No More Kings" from Schoolhouse Rock. And then I would gather a bunch of people to write a whole album of next-generation Schoolhouse Rock songs, with songs about Social Security and Medicaid and NOAA. I am not kidding in the least.

Saw this in the office break room of NOAA NCEI today. I’m going to take this “feel good” energy from an anonymous person and forward it to all of you, especially those that work for or alongside NOAA. I’m proud of the work we do, and I’m grateful for all NOAA does. Thank you.

I need to figure out where to get some nice plaid wool skirts from. The wool part is key, alas I fear my best option might be thrifting. Anyone know any leads?

Incredible news! More hospitals have returned to offering gender affirming care after Trump's executive order was blocked. Moments after publishing our story on hospitals returning, Childrens National DC announced a return to care. And JUST now, Colorado Children's is back to giving care! AMAZING

Discworld QOTD, from Witches Abroad “‘Blessings be on this house,’ Granny said, perfunctorily. It was always a good opening remark for a witch. It concentrated people's minds on what other things might be on this house.”
