I had the insane and delightful opportunity of interviewing Lily and Barbara Kingsolver about their new children's book, Coyote's Wild Home. It's a beautifully illustrated book that explores living in a world with more predators. mountainjournal.org/in-new-book-ba…

Another piece from the Pathfinder on the impact of the federal funding freezes on the Seeley-Swan and Blackfoot Valleys. This time, focused on how contractors have been impacted. Written and reported by Katie O'Reilly. seeleylake.com/story/2025/03/…

@amandaleggert @mtfreepress @MontanaDNRC Thank you, Amanda!! So grateful for your support.

Strong piece by Seely Swan Pathfinder editor (& former @mtfreepress wildfire reporting intern) @keelyinezlarson about some of the wildfire mitigation projects halted in NW MT due to the fed funding freeze & @MontanaDNRC's stop work order. $450k in that area alone. #mtpol #mtnews

The Pathfinder's take on the federal funding freezes. Various Seeley-Swan & Blackfoot Valley nonprofits were told to stop federally-funded work, a majority of those projects focused on fuels mitigation & wildfire mitigation. seeleylake.com/story/2025/02/…

This morning, the air quality monitor we've installed near our home in MSLA is showing the worst air quality in the world on the online map of the same monitors. We're at 234, with South Africa coming in second at 200 at the time of posting. Link here: airgradient.com/map/?zoom=1&la…

@NicoleGirten On Nicole, the sweetest being. I loved covering the session with you so much. You brought so much laughter and goofiness to a not so funny four months. Always here if you need anything 🩵

I want to thank friends and peers who have been so wonderful in supporting me this week. I knew I had amazing people in my life but to have so many show up for me this week reminded me how truly blessed I am. Onward!

Thank you to every source who trusted me with their story and for taking the time to speak with me. Forever grateful.

This is actually really awesome.
