Transit is key for rural mental health, too.

“Patients have-for the most part-burned bridges. There’s no one to bring them. You can throw $ at mental health, but til you provide a way to get here and have return appts, you’re setting them up to fail.”

Here’s some recent work for @kcur looking at how having an easily accessible #publictransit system can be a lifeline for #rural communities and the folks who call those places home https://t.co/7jCYflzGdm

Pinch hitting for @npr from #Mayfield, Kentucky, where a tornado ripped through the town of roughly 10,000. The scene is indescribable — thousands without homes, power or water.

[Forrest Czarnecki @forrestczar]

Ah, yes, a telltale sign of a totally normal climate scenario. Maybe we should do something about this?

[The Colorado Sun @ColoradoSun]

In the past 30 days, the country has set 585 all-time heat records. https://t.co/0dHuPQZpCz via @AP

[Lisa Shumaker @LisaLShumaker]

These pictures by @forrestczar really are worth a thousand words.

[Forrest Czarnecki @forrestczar]

Add @Reuters to the byline list 😁🤩 so excited to see these images and article out in the world. Water is the story of the West, glad to be part of the storytelling. Many thanks to @corinne_perkins and @lucy_nicholson for the help on this one!!

[Reuters Pictures @reuterspictures]

Huge forest fires last year denuded vast areas of Colorado’s mountains and left them covered in ash - ash that has since contaminated waterways relied upon for drinking water https://t.co/cg1dr1vfI3 📷 @forrestczar

This map kind of says it all. Not a good place to be in as the weather starts to get warmer and summer inches closer.

[Mary Shinn @maryshinn]

That's a lot of red. My niece is planning for this summer to be her first as a wildland firefighter. So let's all pray rain.

[Forrest Czarnecki @forrestczar]

The Powerstop is a must-stop when you’re passing thru Gunnison. Great work by Mary and as always, great food.

[Mary Shinn @maryshinn]

Good grilled burgers at a gas station in Gunnison? I didn't think was real either. Many thanks to @forrestczar for finding and photographing this #CravingColorado story for us:

Heart breaking scenes in #boulder today, but the community is out in full force showing its love and care. #BoulderColorado #BoulderStrong

Tell me you live in America without telling me you live in America.

Beyond disappointing, tragic and sad, but there is also a certain numbness and emptiness, too.

Be kind. Be thoughtful. Offer to help others when you are able.

[Forrest Czarnecki @forrestczar]

@ThomasPolok Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!

Look! I did a thing!

[Mary Shinn @maryshinn]

Colorado’s precipitation was nearly six inches below average throughout 2020. For Gary Paul, an El Paso County rancher, the stress of the drought was crushing at times. This is part 2 of our series High and Dry by @forrestczar:

[Forrest Czarnecki @forrestczar]

Wow, it’s almost like Colorado should *not* be experiencing these kinds of things in the middle of winter. Makes you wonder about all those “BeAuTifUL” days that are actually incredibly hot out of season temperatures and the lack of precipitation across much of the state rn.

[Forrest Czarnecki @forrestczar]

In case you haven’t seen it yet, check out a project of mine that was recently published by @highcountrynews! You might even learn a thing or two about soil, science communication, and edgy memes.

If you’re feeling down, just remember that Peter Pocklington was once in charge of trade deals for the Edmonton Oilers.

[Kyle Clark @KyleClark]

Someone cheer me up with a really dumb take on why this Arenado trade isn't crushing. Lie to me, I don't care. Tell me it's fine.

[Forrest Czarnecki @forrestczar]

That is a true tragedy, along with the fact that nobody took up the invitation from @Austinfleskes07 and I. So there are no hard feelings, just sadness.
