Five years ago today was the Parkland shooting, and just a little while ago, there was another school shooting, this time at Michigan State University. A little over ten years ago was Sandy Hook.
How is this still happening? How? Ten years and practically zero gun safety reform.

My youngest child had a scheduled "lockdown" drill today at school. They have two of them per school year. This should not be necessary. There should not be 14 children dead in Texas because of another mass shooting.

WLC Professor of Art @KGjerdset rappelled off a 20-story building on Thursday to support @milmission! She raised more than $1500 for their Over the Edge event. Thanks for helping our local community this summer, Prof. G!

If you could see a #COVID19 patient struggling to breathe like we do in the ER, you’d immediately understand why we’re so worried and why it’s safest to cancel your in-person family meetups over the holidays.
Next year will be safer and we’d like all of you to be there for it.

“What person will ever love you as much as a dog? Who in your life will spend every day excited to see you, refusing to close their eyes until they know you’re ready to sleep? It is going to be a rare occasion when someone loves you with their whole heart without ever asking why

For us, #WorldPangolinDay is just as much about people as it is about #pangolins. Today we celebrate our #pangolinguardians in the #CentralAfricanRepublic without whom our work would not be possible. To all those around the world committed to their protection - we salute you!

On this day in 1872, Yellowstone became the world’s first national park. This painting by Thomas Moran helped bring back glimpses of the treasures that Yellowstone held after the Hayden Expedition in 1871 prompting protection by Congress. #happybirthday #yellowstonenps 🎂#147
