Mobile Charging
Mobile charging refers to the practice of delivering electric vehicle (EV) charging services through portable or transportable systems, rather than relying solely on stationary charging infrastructure. Mobile solutions can range from battery-equipped trailers and charging trucks to modular charging units that can be deployed on-demand. It enables charging access in locations where permanent stations may be impractical, under construction, or economically unfeasible, making it a critical tool for supporting equitable and resilient transportation electrification

X-disease phytoplasma (Western X) in Washington
X-disease also known as Western X, Cherry Buckskin, and Peach X, is not a new disease, but Washington is experiencing new complications. X-disease is present across North America, widespread throughout Washington State, and occurs at high incidence in Yakima, Benton, Franklin, Grant, and Chelan Counties. It is also present in Douglas, Okanogan, Klickitat Counties, and in Oregon in The Dalles area. It was first identified in Washington State cherry trees in 1946. In a 1947 survey, about 1% of cherry trees were found to be infected, and it has remained present ever since, fluctuating in frequency. However, it has increased in prevalence dramatically in recent years, with pathogen strains, vectors, and environmental conditions that were not present in the previous outbreak. The X-disease phytoplasma (Candidatus Phytoplasma pruni) is the primary cause of small, pale, tasteless, and unmarketable cherries in Washington State. In peaches, plums, and nectarines, X-disease symptoms are typically yellowed, curled, and shot-holed leaves, and small, deformed fruit

Rethinking Linguistic Justice Through Buen Vivir Revitalizing My Mixteco and Its Integration to Rhetoric and Composition
In U.S. academia, and specifically in writing spaces, the language practice that has long been dominant, is known as Standard Academic English (SAE), which has been used to determine “good” speaking and writing. The normalization of the usage of SAE in academia directly hurts other languages and especially speakers that are multicultural and multilingual, who come into a classroom with an abundance of knowledge. Though to resist language standardization, linguistic justice, a scholarly framework and pedagogical movement, has offered a critique of the violence in standard language ideologies such as SAE. While linguistic justice has opened crucial conversations about language and power, conversations of including various languages often privilege colonial languages like Spanish and leave out those most threatened by erasure such as indigenous languages. I propose rethinking linguistic justice through the lens of buen vivir, a framework from Latin America that is rooted in indigenous thought, to discuss the relationship between linguistic justice and indigenous languages. This research braids theory with lived memory, tracing my personal journey back to the region of la Mixteca in Oaxaca, Mexico to continue learning my indigenous language, Mixteco and finding what living well with Mixteco looks like. Through this personal research, I argue that linguistic justice must stretch beyond inclusion and toward a refusal to forget and work towards a commitment to the languages our ancestors spoke, thought, and felt in. I propose that buen vivir, as a framework and perspective, is needed in linguistic justice to center the reimagining and enactment of living well with our languages. As a result, I provide a recommendation of how to apply this rethinking to pedagogical practice in the field of rhetoric and composition
