I love those live cams! Iām also addicted to just watching video compilations of footage from trail cameras, itās soothing to just watch those critters go about their days.

What a shame
Never thought Iād be checking a pizza index at 4am
we'll know it's for real when Fox News starts playing Lee Greenwood's rendition of "Swan Lake" on loop
THREAD Jesse Watters' horrific and dehumanizing screed about trans people is going viral in right-wing spaces. Watters claims he doesn't care if adults are nonconforming/trans, but then declares there is a "trans epidemic" and that showing compassion for trans people is "getting people killed".

Iāve been dealing with insane headaches for weeks now (I finally got a doc appointment), and I just want to give a shoutout to the best snuggle squad around. They may hog most of the bed, but weāre all together and cozy.
Itās been really hard to keep up on the news lately thatās for sure. The battle to stay informed and prepared vs. tuning out so I donāt doom spiral is a very tough one. Iām thankful for that support, for myself & the community. I know thereās amazing & kind people out there no matter what.
Oh Iām sure thereās plenty of videos out there to learn from! š I truly appreciate it, really š«¶
Thank you! ā¤ļø I shall keep that in mind, just in case someone does need a good throat punch. Then we can go grab a sweet treat after š
Iām likely going to need a bunch of medical testing soon and Iām absolutely worried about new doctors & specialists having an issue with my identity and body.
Itās a super fucking fun time to be trans right now, in case you didnāt know! /s

Still waiting on this rain. I hope it hits and actually rains, we need more than those little 2 min spotty showers.
It's me
Ugh gross. I shouldnāt be surprised with how many Trump flags and Bundy signs there were around here. This person has the ss bolts displayed proudly on their bike. I mean I know people like that are out there, just catches me off guard when theyāre so bold about it.
Found out thereās a white supremacist that lives up the road from me
Realized I only said lunches, but all meals should be free for kids in school. Period.
When I was in elementary & middle school, if our balance was low, theyād put a stamp on the top of our hands so our parents could see it when we got home. Everyone knew what it meant. It was so embarrassing as a kid to be stamped like that. Iāll always remember that feeling. Lunches should be free
Not enough people are outraged by this.
Looking back on memories from last summer #Idaho #IdahoEscape #Nature #Photography
š„° Sound ON to hear her royal buzz š„°
1. In an alarming move, the Trump administration has banned trans coverage for federal employees and their families, including youth and adults. It mandates faith-based conversion therapy coverage. It is one of the largest removals of coverage in the US. Subscribe to support our journalism.
I love how they joined TikTok after all the hearings and to-dos about it being such a huge threat to safety. Itās going to become nothing more than a propaganda app once itās bought and taken over
A consequence of sending armed troops into American cities over politics is that it sends a message that we are already in a civil war. That city dwellers (proxy for Democrats) are dangerous enemies who need to be controlled. That may not be the goal, but it's working its way into our subconscious.

"Newsomās threat to retaliate in kind is not a divisive attack on good governance. It is, instead, the only hope for democracy. Bipartisanship right now is appeasement. Democrats cannot and should not hide behind neutrality and fairness as MAGA incinerates the remaining tatters of our republic."
Not even 1pm yet and itās already been an insanely draining day news wise. What the fuck is happening?
#IdahoFire
First time hearing and seeing raindrops in like 40+ days! Wish it would just downpour on us but Iāll take a few drops if nothing else
Sand Creek fire updates. Evacuation order for Sand Creek Ponderosa to include the surrounding 5 mile radius near Sadorus. 1500 acres in size now. 0% containment. #IdahoFire
Sand Creek Fire west of Ashton. Go Level 3 evacuation for residents in Cedar Ridge subdivision and within a 5 mile radius of that location. #IdahoFire

Getting incredibly overwhelmed and stressed trying to get things cleaned and packed and ready to put the house up for sale. Staring into the unknown with panic and excitement.
There are four fires visible on the GOES-West satellite fire band imagery this evening. The #RockFire isn't as hot as it has been, but the new Sunset Fire in N Idaho is very hot at the moment. #IdahoFire

Good time to remind folks that we have an #IdahoFire feed (and no, it's not on the blueskyidaho.com site yet as I keep forgetting to add it. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Snagged a quick little morning walk. Tons of birds, even saw a Belted Kingfisher & Pied-billed Grebe! #Idaho #IdahoEscape #Nature #Photography
Did she lie ? #Pinks
Had to pull over this morning and snag a picture. Couldnāt get my phone to focus all too well, but itās still pretty! #IdahoEscape #Idaho #FullMoon #Nature
368 of our neighbors have been kidnapped & held in concentration camps without due process in idaho.
Uh huh...
A public records request for a professor at the University of Washington.
Hey, so I hate this. This job application asked for my sexual orientation, preferred gender identity, and had the requirement to upload a photo of myself as well???? Needless to say, I didnāt finish that bs. Way too much info just for them to tell me theyāre not actually hiring.
I had an incredible time in Utah over the weekend!! Catching up with family, Hozier concert, good laughs, great food, amazing scenery. It was a much needed escape. #Utah #Nature #NaturePhotography
So many emotions felt throughout this song. It will forever be one of my favorites. #Hozier
I might just go crazy and post more videos from the concert, because it was so amazing last night
The video is just barely too long for Bluesky, so Iāll post it on TikTok. Here is Hozierās speech from last night. #Hozier www.tiktok.com/t/ZT6URPkwf/
Yes, I cried over all the lights šš #Hozier
I couldnāt film much of this song because of the crying. Hearing this live is justā¦ wow. #Hozier
The Hozier concert last night was incredible!! I cried a lot, cried even more when he put a trans flag on the mic stand after Take Me To Church.
yet another #Idaho #sunset tonight
Tonight's #Boise sunset. Its been a quintessential #Idaho July #IdahoEscape
Loss of Regional Offices Risks Local Pressures: āDistrict rangers will be pressured by local ranchers and logging outfits to ignore environmental harm and skirt regulations when it suits them without the backstop of support from regional offices that are tasked with regulatory compliance.ā

I want to tread lightly here; this may be a younger federal employee with no older mentors left to correct them, making an honest mistake. But no, sweet child, the moon is not contributing to nighttime heating / fire weather. Climate change is, though. @altfws.altgov.info @roguenasa.altgov.info
Crowley joined me outside for some yard work. Seems my safety supervisor is sleeping on the job. #IdahoEscape #CatsofBluesky #BlackCat
Excellent article touching on unworkable, poorly thought out consequences of eliminating USFS Regional Offices and consolidating R&D into Fort Collins, CO. These ideas are so poorly conceived, I have a hard time believing they can come to fruitionā but they *will* add stress to our workforce.
š 'A lot of people who they need, have quit.' Listen to Reuters World News on the federal workforce reductions under the Trump administration and how they've left the Forest Fire Service understaffed at a time of decade-high wildfire numbers reut.rs/4m2zUK7
Snagged a little part time job for the time being. Iām still in a whirlwind of emotions from all this. I miss the field work, I miss a lot of the guys around the office, I miss what it used to be. This new adventure will be good though.
Someone is asking for Sunday Snuggles. Of course I gave in, how can you say no?! #IdahoEscape #DogsofBluesky
What a cutie!! Please give them some pets for me! š„¹š„°
I hate these AI recruitment bots. If I have to ātalkā to another Olivia again just to apply to a job, Iām going to crawl into a hole
I mean, I might be a bit biased, but I feel like any cover heād do would be incredible
Not even going to argue. Itās such a beautiful cover.
Sunset sure was pretty this evening #Idaho #IdahoEscape #Sunset #Nature
I love watching/hearing them fly in, but also hate the reason why. At first I thought they were heading to the Buckboard Fire until I saw Rocky Knoll on the map
Sounds like the Rocky Knoll Fire is taking off. Been hearing a lot of aircraft fly into the tanker base here. Snagged the screenshot from BLM Idaho Fire FB page #IdahoFire #Idaho
We've moved from 'don't say gay' to 'ban trans'. But this time, it's the policy of a 'Labour' Government.
Iām about to finish my 4th book in less than a week. Damn I missed reading like this, and itās making me want to get back into writing again

Very true! It is the busy season. Time will tell and heal. ā¤ļø
I feel bad feeling that way, but I just do. Itāll fade away soon Iām sure š
A little selfish moment maybe, humbling, hurtful, a shitty combination of it all. But not a single coworker has reached out to me, even the ones closest to me, and thatā¦ sucksā¦
Thank you. Itās pretty brutal, thatās for sure. Hopefully one day that evens out and itās not such a struggle to find a job when you need one
Sending good vibes and strength your way! ā¤ļø
Thank you! ā¤ļø I know it will, just have to keep marching on the best I can until then!
Thank you, I appreciate it! ā¤ļø It sucks to be on this new adventure, but things will work out in the end. Minus the annoyance of no job, itās been nice to just relax and try to recoup from all that stress.
Well, so far the job hunt has been lackluster. Iām either getting the generic āwe went with someone elseā or Iām not even hearing anything back. I didnāt miss this bs.
Itās been a rough week, but thankfully I have some of the best buddies a guy could ask for.
Wellā¦ learn something new every day
UTAHā¦ this is not a gameā¦
Oh same here! Iām sure the tears will come right back on the rewatch
I need to rewatch this, itās been a long time. Watched it several times as a kid. (A.I. Artificial Intelligence)
Well, so far in my unemployed era I finished a 317 page book in one evening. Doesnāt sound like a lot I know, but itās been a long time since Iāve even finished a book. So thatās nice
Trumpās firings at federal agencies have upended the lives of thousands of workers. These are the people who oversee air safety, food and drug safety, disaster response, public health, and much more. Replacing civil servants with Trump loyalists is right out of Project 2025.
Probably the hardest email Iāve ever had to write and send. Iām feeling a lot of emotions, frustration and relief being the biggest. If things were different, Iād still be there out in the field. It truly sucks waving goodbye to a dream.
I think today is the last day at my ādreamā job. Feeling a lot of mixed emotions, but one of the biggest is relief. This agency isnāt the same, itās not the one I dreamed of working for and started working for.
I'm dubious but if law enforcement believes there is enough reliability in this sighting, we should take their word for it. Its in a relatively remote area of the southern Sawteeth east of Atlanta, SW of Galena, and north of Fairfield. #idpol www.facebook.com/KTVB7/posts/...
Things will work out eventually, they always do, but man does this timeline suuuuck right now
