A wildlife biologist at Yosemite National Park was fired after draping a transgender pride flag from El Capitan.
Dr Shannon Joslin, who holds a PhD in genomics and studies bats, was fired from the park earlier this month following the stunt on May 20 of this year.
The 35-year-old, who is nonbinary, and six other climbers, unfurled the 55-by-35 foot pink and blue flag one third of the way up the iconic granite monolith.
In doing so Joslin had 'failed to demonstrate acceptable conduct', the park's acting deputy superintendent Danika Globokar said in their termination letter.
The day after the stunt new legislation was brought in outlawing the display of large flags and banners on El Capitan and the rest of the national park.
That decision was part of a larger push by the government to limit the amount of political demonstrations on public lands.
In a social media post explaining the dismissal, Joslin described the role at Yosemite as being their 'dream job'.
'I hung the flag in my free time, off-duty, as a private citizen. El Capitan has had flags hung on it for decades and no one has EVER been punished for it. Only me.
'No part of hanging the flag was done on work time. NOTHING about it had anything to do with my work,' Joslin added.

[Son of Satan Barack Hussein Obama did MANY Wicked Works to promote “TRANSGENDER”]
AI Overview
Throughout his time in public office, including his presidency and since, Barack Obama has consistently advocated for policies and initiatives that support the TRANSGENDER COMMUNITY.
During his presidency, key actions included:
Expanding protections against discrimination: The Obama administration clarified that discrimination based on GENDER IDENTITY is prohibited under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 and Title IX for students. Resources were also provided to schools to support TRANSGENDER STUDENTS.
Federal Workplace Protections:
An Executive Order was signed in 2014, adding GENDER IDENTITY as a protected category for federal contractors.
Housing Equality:
The Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) addressed discrimination against LGBT INDIVIDUALS in housing through the Equal Access Rule.
Hate Crime Legislation:
The Matthew Shepard and James Byrd, Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act extended federal hate-crime protections to include attacks based on SEXUAL ORIENTATION or GENDER IDENTITY.
In his post-presidency, Obama has continued to ADVOCATE FOR TRANSGENDER RIGHTS, such as issuing a statement of support on TRANSGENDER DAY OF VISIBILITY.

In summary Son of Satan DEMOCRAT Barack Hussein Obama is an excellent tool of That Old Serpent 🐍 Called the Devil and Satan.
Satan, the god of THIS WORLD 🌍🌎🌏, is destroying Normal Society by deceiving the goats 🐐🐐🐐 who then are fulfilling Romans 1:24-28 and ignoring 2nd Peter 2:6-9
2nd Corinthians 4:3-4
English Standard Version
3 And even if our Gospel is veiled, it is veiled to those who are Perishing.
4 In their case the god of this world has blinded the minds of the Unbelievers, to keep them from seeing the Light of the Gospel of the glory of Christ, Who is the image of God.

It becomes their “raison d’être” (it seems) (literally meaning “reason for being” in French - for the thread)
To promote this “cause” She threw away her job for THIS...
“Out of the closet” and in our face.
How about if I, in my free time hang a giant pro-life flag on her/him/it’s house? Would that be okay with her/him/it?
That National park belongs to all of us Americans, it’s not anyone’s to hang flags on.
I’ve heard of oxygen cafes, but HELIUM??
Do folks go there to sound like a duck?
Yep, that’s exactly the idea—welcome to the world of oxygen bars (or “oxygen cafés” if you want to sound fancy). These are wellness lounges where people pay to inhale purified oxygen, often infused with scents like lavender or peppermint, through a nasal cannula or mask.
🫁 What Happens at an Oxygen Café?
You sit back in a comfy chair
A tube delivers oxygen (usually 40–90% purity) to your nose
You choose an aroma to go with it—think spa vibes
Sessions typically last 10–30 minutes
💨 Why Do People Do It? Proponents claim it:
Boosts energy and alertness
Relieves stress and headaches
Helps with jet lag or hangovers
Enhances mood and focus
But here’s the kicker: scientific evidence is thin. Most benefits are anecdotal or possibly placebo-driven2. If you’re healthy, your blood is already saturated with oxygen from regular air (which is about 21% oxygen), so extra O₂ doesn’t do much physiologically.
🧪 Is It Safe? Generally yes—for short sessions in healthy individuals. But it’s not recommended for people with certain respiratory conditions unless prescribed by a doctor.
So yes, people go there to breathe oxygen... but mostly for the vibe, the novelty, and maybe a whiff of eucalyptus enlightenment. Want to try one or debunk it further?
Put her in the comfy chair!!
TS.
I was wondering 🤔 what city that was
there’s a bunch of cities
