Bozeman Tenants United is asking the city of Bozeman to ban second- and third-home short-term rentals, like the kind you see on Airbnb and Vrbo—a move that would open up 900 units of housing.
My first piece for @mtfreepress

My statement on the Montana GOP's undemocratic decision to ban me from debate on the House floor:
Today I stood unwaveringly in defense of my constituents, my community, and democracy itself. And I pledge to always do so.

this map of soaptree yucca observations on inaturalist is an absolutely beautiful example of sampling bias (inaturalist.org/taxa/170387-…)
A pair of bald eagles moved into the nesting platform at Glen Lake Rotary Park in Bozeman—the previous tenants are a breeding pair of Osprey, yet to arrive as the lake is still frozen. What will happen next? A real #birding cliffhanger.
My latest piece in a series on elk in the Gallatin Valley for @explorebigsky. Hunting access & development are making wildlife management tough, particularly around highway 191.

Quick read on this year's @denison_hockey team. Little early to get too excited, but we are on the right track #denisonsports @achamensd2

Didn’t expect much on a rainy day in Bozeman, but had a particularly birdy #OctoberBigDay
Louder for the people in the back: individual responsibility for climate change based on the size of your “carbon footprint” is a lie invented by BP’s marketing agency and seized by every other oil company
Delisting the gray wolf from the U.S. Endangered Species act is absolutely the wrong call.
There’s 6,000 grey wolves in the lower 48, down from probably 250,000+++ pre-colonial wolves and the DOI says they’ve “fully recovered”
It’s October 5th, 2004. The bus takes you to your hellish middle school nightmare: two weeks ago you stashed a carton of chocolate milk for after gym class. Last night it exploded in your locker. After today, the Twins won’t win a post-season game ever again. Life is awful.
Tonight I spent nineteen dollars at Taco Bell so I could eat my feelings about the Twins and avoid the debate.
It was a personal record for me and I feel fulfilled.
An advantage of the MN sports curse: I’m not surprised the Twins are about to go 0-17 in post season games since 2004 to the team with the worst road record ever.
The oaks are in quarantine here, too.
Oak wilt looks like premature fall—the leaves turn brown, wilt, fall. Except weeks after the fungus infects a freshly wounded oak, the oak is indeed dead and not dormant.
