Gotta do this again to acknowledge Emily Benson and @brcalvert as the editors who were a big part of making this happen!

If you need a break from watching the ongoing coup attempt, I'd highly recommend listening/re-listening to Bundyville or Leah Sottile's more recent series, Two Minutes Past Nine. None of this is new, it's just more obvious today. longreads.com/bundyville/

Are today's event surprising to anyone who has been following/reporting on/resisting white supremacy in less populated or rural places for years?

Specifically, I really want to hear from people who have been covering extremist occupations of federal land, both large and small over the years. The first thing I thought when I saw the capital stormed today was: Malheur

As someone who writes about archaeology from time to time, I’d hope and expect to see the full weight of other Society for Historical Archaeology members and colleagues behind Ayushi Nayak ଆୟୂଷୀ ନାୟକ, Liz M. Quinlan 🏳️‍🌈, and @MelinaSeabrook in their calls for accountability here. sciencemag.org/news/2021/01/p…

I don't know if rural queer futurism is a genre. But I'm declaring it one now, and I'm declaring High Country News a leader in our genre.

Can someone explain to me why "fiscally responsible" MT Republicans are determined to waste millions of taxpayer dollars by passing legislation that they know is unconstitutional and will not hold up in court? Is it just to appease a base that hates women and trans kids?

This thread is great. Share those connections, share them real good!

I wish all the tall women and ripped women getting mad about this in my feed a very good evening.

Big shout out to Krista Langlois and Outside Magazine for putting in the work to cover these bills excluding trans athletes with respect and accuracy!

Feeling ill. Standing offer: If your daughter can't access school sports because of this bill, I will gladly take her biking, skiing, shooting, running, hiking, hunting, fishing, lifting, or climbing, and have a crew of women and nb role models to join us tinyurl.com/hkay9yhh

⁦Miles W. Griffis⁩ has done us queer bird stans a great service by writing this ⁦Audubon Magazine⁩ story audubon.org/news/a-brief-h…

Related to the Miles W. Griffis avian drag story, I leave you with my one and only Pride-related contribution to this platform: my authentic bisexual Pride couch. Because when you can’t be IKEA put a bunch of hands on it, you can always put a bird on it.

Waiting for someone to write a story comparing and contrasting Bozeman to Williston at peak fracking boom. Oh right that’s my job. The story is called ‘The symbolism of the $20/hr we’re hiring sign’ It’s a meta story about Wal Mart signs as (valid) boom town tropes.

I want to see national press all over this police involved shooting in Missoula Mara Silvers has been reporting. The AP is not enough. If you can cover our Zoom Boom and mansions, you need to cover this. montanafreepress.org/2021/08/13/fam…

The Outside Magazine podcast is looking for experienced freelance audio producers! Accepting pitches for audio stories about survival, resilience, community, culture, and personalities in the outdoor space. DM me or find my email in my bio.

Glad there are publications who want me to do one of my favorite writing things, which is to talk about "what's going on with this ecosystem". The multimedia for this story is awesome FYI! nationalgeographic.com/environment/ar…

If representation is a luxury good at media organizations, then it's not real. It's so hard to look at who got laid off as anything but confirmation that reporters challenging the status quo both in substance and existence are the last in and first to go.

In a scene somewhat similar to the 1A debate in TN these past few weeks, conservative lawmakers in the Montana legislature are debating censuring a transgender colleague for her comments--made during recognized time-- regarding a bill that would ban gender affirming care.

The Republican Party of Montana is refusing to allow me—a transgender Representative—to speak on any bill. This is fundamentally undemocratic. My light is on, and I am ready to speak on behalf of the constituents who elected me to do so.
