Storms, skies, environment, equality; love and chase them all. She/her.
After the rain. We're running out of water, but when your tiny part of town gets the deluge you go outside to smell the desert and give thanks. #azwx #monsoon #saguarosunset
More science losing knowledgeable people. What a ... waste.
Meghan Bartels@meghanbartels.bsky.social · last mo.I’m so sad to share that yesterday was my last day at Scientific American. It was an honor to work alongside my incredible colleagues and to speak with researchers across the sciences. If you’re looking to hire staff or freelance, please consider me and my other laid off coworkers (🧵)
Lest we forget: Obama secured the Iran deal without starting a war, shutting down the Strait of Hormuz, or losing a single American life. But please, tell me more about how “toughness” requires body bags.

Waking up to such beauty must be saved for future generations. Save our public lands.

The LaGuardia Crash Will Be Blamed on One Controller. That's Not the Whole Story.
3,000 controllers short. WWII-era radar still in use. And a lone controller managing two emergencies at midnight. This was preventable.

30 years ago it was almost sunset on our last day of a house hunting trip. We took a chance and bought a lot on a little dirt road. #arizonasunset #azwx
Today my weather station had a high of 105°. It's on a white roof in the sun so not entirely accurate. My car in the sun said 104°. The official high was 96°, historic average is 77°. the mesquite trees are leafing out early. #azwx

David Ho@davidho.bsky.social · 7mo agoThis is the most astonishing graph of what the Trump regime has done to US science. They have destroyed the federal science workforce across the board. The negative impacts on Americans will be felt for generations, and the US might never be the same again. www.nature.com/immersive/d4...
Enjoy another Arizona sunset. We all need a moment of beauty on a difficult day.
Saturday was a perfect day to photograph the Sandhill Cranes at Whitewater Draw in Cochise County, Arizona. Image #3 is a 21-frame composite of one flyby.
Four generations of my family have served our country. Service is in my blood. The President wouldn’t know anything about that.
