Crap!

Three of Mount Rainier's glaciers have melted away

"The National Park Service officially removed the Stevens Glacier from its inventory because it had grown too small and there was a lack of evidence that ice was flowing, such as crevassing.

Almost daily I talk with people who travel hundreds of miles for #abortion care, but this map better than anything else I’ve seen depicts the landscape of care that drives the stories of these individuals, as well as the stories of people providing abortion care along the borders of ban states. #uspol https://www.npr.org/sections/health-shots/2023/06/21/1183248911/abortion-access-distance-to-care-travel-miles

The targeted harassment of physicians and politicians is a GLOBAL problem. (Ask @peterhotez)

During the election I received 21,460 abusive messages: 9,291 toxic, 7,530 threats, 3399 identity attacks, 2073 sexually explicit. Organized, targeted attacks.
