10:45 PM: The 00z European model remains on board! Prepare for winds gusting 45-55 mph across Western WA, including the #Seattle metro area & WA coast Friday morning. In late September, trees are fully leafed, so the tree damage & power outage threat is high. Prepare now! #wawx

Trump's tariffs have cost Iowa households $600 more a year, wiped out $2.1 billion in farm income, and cost 2,700 manufacturing workers their jobs.
Zach Nunn calls these devastating taxes "winning."

Unbelievable air quality readings of 1000-3000 around Wenatchee, Leavenworth, and Plain, as of 11:50 AM in Chelan County, WA.
At this point, smoke is like fog. This level of smoke is hazardous to all, for any length of time outside. #wawx #smoke #wildfires

RFK told Dana Bash that Lyme disease “almost certainly” came from gain of function research.
Which is utterly false. www.medpagetoday.com/infectiousdi...

Lyme Disease Did Not Come From a Secret Military Lab, Contrary to FDA Chief's Claim
Bacterium that causes it circulated long before the lab opened, decades of evidence show

Sobering update from BLM OR/WA on the extremely active PNW wildfire season. 1.3M acres have burned, w/a seasonal avg of 1.2M. This is an above normal wildfire season already...and we have to go until at least October. Give this a read, folks. #wawx #orwx #wildfires

I’ve boosted Celeste’s GFM but I want to share this thread of context not bc she should have to relive it, but for my fellow CA residents who may seek to learn about our DV laws’ gaps. And her advocacy work there, which we need!
Someone recommended I write a clearer thread for the GFM (to help people understand why I'm sick/stressed/the need), so I hope all of you don't mind the additional context.
*trigger warning, mentions of abuse*
In February 2025, I was violently attacked by an ex. He was 440 pounds, I was 137.

we, uh, we can't keep making art during these hard times if no one's buying it... 🫠
"it's important to make art during hard times"
Why yes of course!
(Looks at total art sales including originals, canvas & paper prints & art cards for 2026.

Oh. I see.
Maybe it's more important to support artists during hard times? Maybe?

No I can't shut up. Unfortunately my parents, loved ones and role models taught me to love this world and it's people too much. I will always speak for the world I was raised to believe in.

He was filming them holding his phone in his right hand to begin with. When the spouse made fun of him and turned to get in the car, he was so irate that he moved his phone to his left hand so he could unholster his weapon. The only threat at that point was to his ego.

It has been an interesting couple of weeks weather-wise in Seattle. And an interesting year overall. And by interesting I mean incredibly stressful and unpredictable. If we could give it a rest for the last few weeks of the year and for maybe all of 2026 so I can breath that would be great.
