Crested Caracara from South Texas earlier this month. Every once in a while a bird is worth stopping and taking a picture of.

Doing our part.
Screenshot of email from Chris Clarke <chris@90milesfromneedles.com> to Deiatruth <DEIAtruth@opm.gov> reading: To whom it may concern; I have been aware of a significant miscarriage of justice in federal hiring for a few weeks now, and I thank you for the opportunity to inform you of it. There was a hiring decision made during the last weeks of the Biden Administration in which a clearly unqualified candidate with zero practical experience and significant personality disorders that would interfere with his ability to perform as the job requires, was hired for a position despite far more qualified competition. The alternative applicant being considered is a longtime attorney with significant experience in public safety and governance on  municipal, state, and federal levels. It is clear to me that the chosen candidate for this job was hired solely due to their race and gender. I look forward to your response informing me of your action to remedy this issue. You can reach the improperly hired person at the following address: Donald J. Trump 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue NW Washington, DC, 20500 Thank you for your important service to the United States of America. Signed Chris Clarke 90milesfromneedles.com

And so begins day three of the next 4(00?) years. Feels like I've aged about two years per day so far. Looking forward to being 342 years old at the end of this all.

What are some things you all are doing as mental health selfcare, to keep you sanity during this time?

The darkness approaches. We will meet it. We will get through it.
Acknowledge the darkness, acknowledge the fear, the pain, the despair. Acknowledge it, and then choose hope anyway.

We shall overcome 💙

Got to spend Christmas in the desert with some kit foxes. Four of them surprised me in an area I've been visiting for years, and have apparently missed this den the whole time.
Love them. Sleepy lil puppies.

Just a Tuesday reminder that when they say violence is wrong, they mean violence is wrong as long as it isn't systemic, and no one is making money off of it. 👍

Change doesn’t happen in a single leap—it happens when voices refuse to be silenced. Keep speaking, keep showing up, keep the fire alive. The power of one multiplies when we stand together. Let’s not let this moment fade. Speak. #DenyDefendDepose

This is more than a slogan left behind on bullet casings—it’s a call to action. Deny their power of exploitation. Defend the truth; systemic injustice is by design. Depose the structures that profit from suffering.
Revolution begins when we refuse to accept the unacceptable.

This isn’t about a man; it’s about a system of profit over lives, 45k die yearly from lack of care, & the working class is trapped in despair.
Revolution isn’t destruction—it’s creation. Don’t let this moment fade. Change is possible, but only if we act. The time is now.

Went out on Thanksgiving to try for a November snake and found the first neonate ruber I've ever seen.

Ruber don't usually get seen until about two years old, they seem to simply vanish for the first year or two.

Baby Chuckwalla (Sauromalus ater) from spring of 2023 in the western Mojave.
They are the second largest lizard in the US, and are almost exclusively vegetarian. They love eating flowers, and seem to favor yellow ones!

Such gorgeous, gentle, beautiful creatures. #herping #lizard #Spring #herp
A baby chuckwalla (Sauromalus ater) rests on a rock amidst a vibrant desert landscape during sunset. Its small, textured body is highlighted against the backdrop of blooming purple and yellow wildflowers. Rugged hills and rocky formations surround the scene, with the soft, glowing sky adding a sense of serenity to the desert environment.

So far, Bluesky is exceeding expectations. 🦋

It might be the right thing at the right time. As we descend into a world fueled by darkness and further division, somewhere to be authentic and open is heavensent.

What are you excited for, or looking forward to on here, now and going forward?

January sunset in the central Mojave Desert from 2023.

Very little processing was done to this, the sky was literally up with colors like I'd never really seen before or since.

Encountered during a desert tortoise survey, successfully finding three brumating tortoises on now-protected land.
Purples and pinks and magentas light up the sky over a desert mountain range, which is seen as layers of grey and brown in the foreground.

California Mountain Kingsnake (Lampropeltis zonata) from the Sierra Nevada mountains.

Definitely one of, if not the, most gorgeous California snakes.

While common in much of their range, they're rarely seen due to their secretive nature and habits. 🐍

Winter in the Mojave Desert is a special time. Most try to stay out of the desert in winter, there's not a lot going on, and it's ever so cold. But the serenity, peace, and quiet you can find out there is unsurpassable.
