I'm currently the only one of three disabled trans people in my household who can work, but 16 months of being bedridden and an ongoing chronic migraine issue has left me very broke. If you can spare a few dollars, it'd really help, thanks! ko-fi.com/fooneturing

yesterday i went to what might (sadly) be one of the last open houses for the Nuclear Ship Savannah, docked at Pier 13 in Baltimore. she has been well-maintained and was in incredible condition. her reactor has been removed, and you can walk through the former reactor containment tank!

the deck map on the wall in the entryway, each deck is a metal plate slightly wrapped around the wall. a welcome board reads
"Welcome aboard NS SAVANNAH. Celebrating 73 years of Atoms for Peace. We still like Ike. (and dates this year you can visit. another public site visit is for november 14th, their website mentions september 12th for guided tours)

on one of the decks, a warm wooden door leads into the veranda; a dining room with a dance floor and bar, and big windows facing the stern of the ship. her decks are a lovely shade of tealish green

To add insult to injury, all studies so far suggest there are no commercially viable nodule fields in the proposed lease area. The western lease nodules aren't even polymetallic nodules, they're carbonate concretions with a thin layer of manganese. It's harm for the sake of harm.

Importantly, El Niño—even a very strong one—does not guarantee specific outcomes in California. However, this year’s exceptionally strong event will likely result in a strong tilt in the odds toward a wetter than average winter, and also toward individual heavy rain events.

Screenshot of factsheet subsection text. It reads: "Importantly, El Niño—even a very strong one—does not guarantee specific outcomes in California. This is particularly true with respect to winter precipitation and inland flood risk. However, this year’s exceptionally strong event will likely result in a strong tilt in the odds toward a wetter than average winter, particularly in central and southern portions of the state, and also toward individual heavy precipitation events. This may increase the risk of inland freshwater flooding of rivers, creeks, and streams, though it is important to note that consequential flooding can occur in California during any winter—El Niño or otherwise."

So one third is confirmed destroyed, they *think* they damaged storage facilities enough that recovering another third will be difficult/impossible while fighting is ongoing, and the other third is presumably still completely intact and in use. That is so wildly different than the official line.

The Utah Department of Health and Human Services has identified vaccinated clinicians who have become infected with measles in recent weeks. These individuals continued to provide care while symptomatic, not realizing they had measles. We strongly encourage all clinicians to be aware of the possibility of getting infected with measles, even if vaccinated. Given the high level of measles transmission in our state at this time, it is expected to see breakthrough infections.

Well, if yesterday's map was ridiculous, I'm running out of superlatives to characterize today's. Countless locations from Pacific Coast to Great Plains are currently experiencing all-time record March warmth, w/ some locations approaching/exceeding April (or even May) records.

Map of U.S., from coolwx.com, showing locations currently experiencing record-breaking temperatures. There are countless such locations in the Western U.S., with hundreds of red dots (locations breaking daily record highs) and many dozens of pink dots (locations breaking March monthly record highs). The region of record heat extends from the Pacific Coast to the Great Plains, and from Canada to Mexico.
