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/…

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/…

Honestly, the best lede I've read in a while here from the Pathfinder's Jean Pocha. seeleylake.com/story/2024/11/…

A great recap from @KatieOWrites of the Pathfinder's debate last week. seeleylake.com/story/2024/10/…

The Pathfinder's Katie O'Reilly wrote a really great article about the secession inklings in the collar communities of Missoula County. Give it a read: seeleylake.com/story/2024/09/… Photo by Katie O'Reilly

Hi! I'm hosting this debate in Seeley Lake with our relevant statehouse candidates and seven out of eight will be there in person (confirmed as of yesterday), one submitting responses to be read because they had scheduling conflicts. If it's pertinent to you, stop by. #mtnews

Hi! I got to write this story for Mountain Journal about a woman with a hell of a lot of perseverance and a big goal - to be the first Black, female smokejumper. mountainjournal.org/paris-harris-h…

This is actually really awesome.

I very much look forward to it.

And a repub of my Clear Lake Aquifer story from @RTB_Cheerful. I 💙 this way of sharing journalism.

One of my favorite stories I've done for sure. It's about the importance of data collection & collaboratively sharing groundwater in super NE MT. I'm so grateful for the drive, the people & the beauty of the far corners of MT. Me for @RTB_Cheerful: reasonstobecheerful.world/rural-montana-…

I went on a reporting trip out to Plentywood, MT early last week to check out an aquifer. As the cold snap hit, I kept checking and comparing temperatures in Missoula to Plentywood. With wind chill, temperatures hit the -60's in Plentywood and then some.

The owner of the Montana restaurant linked to the food poisoning outbreak said he and other chefs were surprised to learn just how little is known about the toxicity of morel mushrooms. @keelyinezlarson reports: kffhealthnews.org/news/article/m…

We dropped big news today: We are joining forces with @MotherJones, merging to create a stronger and more resilient news organization. Learn more about it here. revealnews.org/cir-reveal-and…

After the morel mushroom poisoning in the spring in MT, I really just couldn't stop thinking about how well known it was that that eating morels could be risky. Grateful for the opportunity to explore more for @KFFHealthNews & @CBSNews
