When I have those mid summer ‘the end of the world feels near’ blues I head on over to the edge of Death Valley to commune with the Amargosa niterwort. Please let me be and do not disturb. Thank you. 🙏🏼

📣 Take action! Sign your name in opposition to a proposed 480-foot communications tower on a state-owned piece of land in the heart of Bears Ears National Monument, UT. If constructed, it would be the tallest tower in the state! https://t.co/WR2DnjHsNw
