Bozeman Tenants United is asking the city of Bozeman to ban second- and third-home short-term rentals, like the kind you see on Airbnb and Vrbo—a move that would open up 900 units of housing.

My first piece for @mtfreepress

My statement on the Montana GOP's undemocratic decision to ban me from debate on the House floor:

Today I stood unwaveringly in defense of my constituents, my community, and democracy itself. And I pledge to always do so.

this map of soaptree yucca observations on inaturalist is an absolutely beautiful example of sampling bias (https://t.co/zxPOh6nNZi)

A pair of bald eagles moved into the nesting platform at Glen Lake Rotary Park in Bozeman—the previous tenants are a breeding pair of Osprey, yet to arrive as the lake is still frozen. What will happen next? A real #birding cliffhanger.

My latest piece in a series on elk in the Gallatin Valley for @explorebigsky. Hunting access & development are making wildlife management tough, particularly around highway 191.

Quick read on this year's @denison_hockey team. Little early to get too excited, but we are on the right track #denisonsports @achamensd2

Didn’t expect much on a rainy day in Bozeman, but had a particularly birdy #OctoberBigDay

[Ryan Strother @ryan_strother]

@embussey I gave em a ring to make my request and all I got were bird sounds but also I didn't have to talk to anyone so, five stars.

[Ryan Strother @ryan_strother]

Don’t want to dish your digits? Hit em with the indigo bunting

Louder for the people in the back: individual responsibility for climate change based on the size of your “carbon footprint” is a lie invented by BP’s marketing agency and seized by every other oil company

[Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez @AOC]

The audacity of Shell asking YOU what YOU’RE willing to do to reduce emissions. 🙄

They’re showing you RIGHT HERE how the suggestion that indiv choices - not systems - are a main driver of climate change is a fossil fuel talking point.

Yes, make good choices. Reign in FF corps.

Delisting the gray wolf from the U.S. Endangered Species act is absolutely the wrong call.

There’s 6,000 grey wolves in the lower 48, down from probably 250,000+++ pre-colonial wolves and the DOI says they’ve “fully recovered”

It’s October 5th, 2004. The bus takes you to your hellish middle school nightmare: two weeks ago you stashed a carton of chocolate milk for after gym class. Last night it exploded in your locker. After today, the Twins won’t win a post-season game ever again. Life is awful.

[Ryan Strother @ryan_strother]

@AyoBebe9 I’m on that black bean grind now, the bean hose never gets clogged.

[Ryan Strother @ryan_strother]

Tonight I spent nineteen dollars at Taco Bell so I could eat my feelings about the Twins and avoid the debate.

It was a personal record for me and I feel fulfilled.
