Over on twitter I used to follow a bunch of #BC and #Washington#meteorologists to get good discussions of weather patterns, long term forecasts, dangerous #weather, and other local #meteorology. Any recommendations here on fedi?
Here’s a few more photos from my trip. Table Mountain was amazing. Took damage to 4 pieces of gear and have multiple bruises from slipping on the rock field but it was a fun trip. Washington State is beautiful.
Look at this view of Mount Hood! Absolutely gorgeous. I’m sitting on the edge of a cliff on Table Mountain across the Columbia River in Washington State.
I would just like to offer assistance to the #Trans community, if this helps at all. This #Mastodon instance is #Physically located in #Washington State, a state that protects people of our large #LGBTQIA community. Sign up at https://gaycity.lgbt and just let me know that you saw this message. 🥰😘🦄
Planning a 4-day backpacking trip this weekend to explore the southern most section of the PCT in Washington. First time hiking in this area. Will probably check out Table Mountain. Anything else interesting to visit in the first 30 miles or so of Washington?
People in #Bozeman, #Montana held strong in the face of neo-Nazis, which included such scum as Daniel Rowe, a white supremacist who in 2016 stabbed an interracial couple.
Rowe traveled with other white supremacists all the way from #Washington to be outnumbered and opposed by a larger crowd who came out to celebrate the first formal #Pride event in "over a decade."
The group of 20 neo-Nazis was drowned out by a larger group of defenders who held the line outside of a kids story-hour event. The fascists soon left and the event went smoothly with no interruptions.
I feel like I’ve been head-down in work and just consuming, not sharing anything out. So here’s a photo from the Palouse several years ago. It’s hard to convey not only the serenity of an early morning like this, but also the sense of shared creativity to be on top of Steptoe Butte with a bunch of other photographers looking for magic.
"Like everyone else in #Oregon an' #Washington, the TERRORIST mail-in ballots an' dang drop boxes HAUNT MY DREAMS!! Who th' heck trusts a dang BOX without a PATRIOT like ME with an ASSAULT RIFLE watching it like a HAWK 24/7?!" I tell ya I get NO sleep! NONE!!! I gotta WATCH 'em DAY an' NIGHT - DAY AN' NIGHT - to keep YOU an' ME SAFE! JOIN ME!!! Together we shall OVERTHROW the TYRANTS!!!!!"
For #MountainMonday I have this photo of Mount Baker (Kulshan) with some nice sunset light brightening up the clouds behind it. I made this photo from along Huntoon Point in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest of Washington State. A few more photos from this location can be found in my blog post here:
Now we have to wait long years for the next lightning show, so let me post one more image.
I’ve blended to consecutive strikes into one frame just to get a sense of the dynamics. They were about 30mi from me.
How many billionaires does it take to buy an NFL franchise? Apparently, three.
Josh Harris, who has a net worth of $7.7B, and Mitchell Rales ($6.9B) are adding Alejandro Santo Domingo, whose family has a net worth of $12.2B., to the bidding group.
These are in addition to potential minority owners, Mark Ein and Magic Johnson who bring millions more dollars to the table.
We very rarely have lightnings in the Seattle area, so last night I was happy to finally capture a good show.
This shot made it to the local news (see comment).
Ah, it's clear now. #Peskov claims that the #Kremlin drone strike was carried out by a secret stealth drone swarm sent from #Washington. This entirely explains how it reached behind multiple air defense systems at the heart of #Moscow.
The more ludicrous a russian claim, the more likely they're behind the actions.
