Photographer, writer, environmentalist, geek I live in the shadow of Mt. St. Helens where I write about cameras and other tech, create YouTube videos, and spend a lot of time out in nature photographing wildlife and the places they live.

I think our best path forward right now in WA3 is to organize around growing a rural progressive movement, built around advocating for tangible benefits to communities. I intend to start a nonprofit soon with this goal. I'm going to need a lot of help to make that work.

Whelp, looks like WA3 won't have a Democrat to vote for in the general election. Make no mistake, Marie Gluesenkamp-Perez is NOT a Democrat. She is a MAGA Republican, and a traitor.

Great letter to the Editor by my mother, Nancy Zahn, in The Daily News today! ""Now that we have received our ballots in the mail, it’s time to exercise our rights and vote. Voting is the greatest and most important of our freedoms in this country, and it should not be taken lightly."

The Old Trails Fire isn't burning in the forest, it's racing through suburban sprawl on the outskirts of Spokane. The further outwards our communities sprawl, the less defensible they become to fire. We urgently need to take steps to prevent further suburban, commercial, & industrial sprawl. #wawx

For some reason, young grosbeaks have been striking this window over the past few weeks. We've added tons of extra paper snowflakes, and we intentionally do not clean these windows in order to make them more visible to birds, yet young grosbeaks keep smacking into it! What's going on?

In The Lord of the Rings, Saruman is more despicable to the reader than Sauron himself. Sauron is pure evil, but he doesn't try to hide that fact. Meanwhile, Saruman is a liar and a deceiver who tries to convince others that they can work with Sauron. Such false allies as Saruman are truly vile.

What is going on at Seaquest State Park? It looks like someone ran an large mower down this single-tread hiking trail! They scraped all the beautiful native plant life down to bare soil, chewing up ancient sword ferns. The damage is horrifying. 🤬😥

Centralia, WA gets its water from Ford's Prairie, yet this is where the city government wants to build mega-warehouses on top of the region responsible for recharging the aquifer! It's pure madness.

Speaking this evening to oppose the mega-warehouses proposed to be built along the Chehalis River in Centralia, WA. Dirty politics and big money are being used to inflicted these monstrosities upon the river and the people of Chehalis. Flooding, pollution, and noise will be the tesuly.
