I remember getting the coolest NPS Pride shirt my first month working for the park service. It's not official uniform but employees of the park put an order together and are allowed to use the logos so it's got the right font and everything. It has a little rainbow ranger on the front and was maybe the first time I've ever felt pride for an organization i was working for.

Please read the article. If you have feelings and need to express them, please know NPS has all the social media Facebook Instagram Twitter Official Page. So does the Department of Interior which oversees the Park Service Facebook Instagram Twitter/X Official Page.

Do you have a favorite park?

Acadia Facebook Instagram official page

Yosemite Facebook Instagram official page

Grand Canyon Facebook Instagram official page

Yellowstone Facebook Instagram official page

Zion Facebook Instagram official page

National Mall Facebook Instagram official page

Stonewall Facebook Instagram official page

Chances are they have their own pages that accept comments as well. Hard to say whether they will be allowed to post Pride content this year, but if you're looking for a more positive approach keep an eye out for those posts and show your support in the comments.

The people who run the nps social media are generally really cool. If nothing else you can get some neat facts!!

Calling US Federal Seasonals and Seasonal-Hopefuls!

Please help me get some better-than-anecdotal answers for the managers at my work (and elsewhere if I can spread it around).

My next post will share what (little) I've been told about federal seasonal hiring. So check that out if you're in this nasty limbo.

Please reblog for best data!

Don't be a litterbug! 🐛

Check out the humorous artwork discovered on vintage decals from the Borden Decalcomania company records. Found in the National Archives Denver our Glacier National Park holdings, they appear to have been mailed to drum up business with the park.

Fuck, man. It's hard to say how much this saddens me. Yosemite has it's own pride. Fucking Stonewall itself is protected by the NPS. From people I've worked and volunteered with in the past, the NPS is an amazingly queer friendly organization to work for.

I think you can also guess that seeing queer people active and out in nature has been a massive inspiration for me.

My first reaction here is to consider the NPS victims, not instigators here. I need more info before jumping to conclusions, and I encourage people to individually research and form their own opinions on this. To be blunt, the NPS is in a sorry state financially. Their budget hasn't increased at a rate that keeps up with inflation, much less visitation, and as someone who's visited national parks throughout their life, it has visibly shown in their infrastructure, public facing services, and employment opportunities. Being the target of a culture war could be terrifying. This is apparently a "reminder" of existing, universal government policy on the conduct of uniformed government officials being banned from participating in events showing political sides on issues unrelated to their organization.

But it's very, very telling that cops are still allowed to attend pride events in uniform.

This is a decision from a scared government institute, I think.

If that's all apologetics, please call me out on it. I'm queer (no shit). I also love the NPS. I'm going to wait until their official statement to jump to conclusions. But fuck.
