It's been a while since I've done an intro here. Hi! I'm Carrie. I'm a forty-something gal from the PNW. I love to learn, and have a passion for history and science. I love the outdoors.

The flooding happening in WA state right now is extreme. Homes under water. Evacuations underway. We also have new, PNW-flavored competition for the "shark in the flood water" image from so many hurricanes past. (Just to be REAL CLEAR here, this photo is NOT REAL, and not meant to look real.)

I've been extra quiet this week because I am in my SECOND round of ✨shingles✨ for 2025.
This is not fun.
It would be really cool if we figured out why certain novel viruses destroy some people's immune systems sometimes.

It’d be exciting to think that Bluesky has people pretending to be American like Twitter but I honestly don’t think they could talk about Star Trek Deep Space 9 the way it’s expected here without having watched all the episodes a dozen times

After 404 Media's months-long reporting and pressure from lawmakers, the data broker owned by the U.S.’s major airlines will now shut down a program in which it sold access to hundreds of millions of flight records to the government and let agencies track peoples’ movements without a warrant.

We saw a video last week of a CBP agent pulling his gun on a citizen in Evanston, IL.
New footage dropped today showing what “provoked him”
It was the civilian exercising his first amendment right to film the encounter.
The agent says “I’m going to shoot you”.
This is absolute tyranny.

What’s really going on with AI and jobs?
Record-breaking layoff reports, Amazon's mass firings, and a slump in entry level employment. Is AI behind it all?

Today I announced an agreement between Washington state, Oregon, and British Columbia to renew and strengthen our partnership.
Together, the Cascadia region will address housing affordability, invest in clean energy, and create the conditions for long-term economic growth.

Note: This is me — I asked this question.
You’ll hear me say “yes you have” here — because Johnson was already *directly asked* about one of these instances (when the Presbyterian minister was shot in the head with a pepper ball) in one of earlier shutdown press conferences.

Q: Just last week a minister was shot directly in the face with a pepper round by a DHS agent that left his face bloodied. Are you concerned that this is a religious freedom issue?
MIKE JOHNSON: I can't comment on any of those instances. I haven't seen or heard any of those videos
