In the spirit of #Halloween, we are here to tell you that elves & sprites are REAL!🧚
Seriously though, elves, sprites, & blue jets are the most common types of transient luminous events (TLEs), aka atmospheric #lightning!

Some of our recent posts have been in both English & Spanish. In response, there have been many racist comments. 27,000 WY & 129,000 NE residents speak Spanish & it's the 2nd most common language. Racism & bigotry will not be tolerated. Your comments will be promptly removed.

On Thursday, the #DontSayGay bill passed through its final House committee. It now moves on to a vote by the full chamber next week. Send an urgent message to lawmakers telling them to oppose this harmful legislation. act.eqfl.org/a/oppose-dont-s…

The “Don't Say Gay" bill sponsor has made it even worse. @JosephHarding, is pushing an amendment that would FORCE TEACHERS TO OUT LGBTQ STUDENTS even if doing so will result in "ABUSE, ABANDONMENT, OR NEGLECT"
