Still, it's heartening to look at the Bureau of Reclamation data on Yakima Valley reservoirs and compare them to where they were almost a year ago.

This is water that will nourish and feed us if we use it wisely. Don't just blow it on one crop cycle! Save it for future droughts.

While I am very worried about the flooding and lack of snowpack from this atmospheric river in Western WA, I'm trying to find a silver lining in our reservoir levels.

Unfortunately, even after massive amounts of rain, we're still in the bottom 25% of reservoir levels in the 1950-2025 record 😬

My rush hour 372 has a problem with the breaks so the operator dropped us all off at this stop and told us to catch the next bus. Luckily I could catch the 522 instead which was just a few min, but still not ideal.

Looks like #WeekWithoutDriving will also be the first week full of rain returning to Seattle 🌧️

Guess it's time to break out the rain pants for my ebike commute!

#WeekWithoutDriving is starting this Monday! I'll be participating this year thanks to my ebike and new bike lanes in my community. Ebikes can do a lot! Here's my cargo bike transporting a big package

So, my first job out of grad school was cut due to DOGE federal funding freezes. I called my Republican congressman in Mid Michigan to tell them how this was hurting our district (MSU is the largest economic driver) and all I got was this generic letter 4 months later saying "Trump won, suck it"

Elon took my job offer, so now I made a substack
