Walking home from work along the highline park. The Hudson River is behind the buildings there. The sunset will be fabulous. I love #NYC
An icy waterfall on the trail today. Look at the beautiful “mammatus cloud” (?) ice formations at the base. Look up mammatus clouds for me, you’ll see what I mean. Gorgeous. #Hiking #NewYork

Finshed working on her. She’s walking through a destroyed forest—turfed by humans—and I feel she’s very concerned. Probably carrying a bag of wild seeds.

Anyway I had a vision of her, Ms. Badger lady, and drew her out. She’s me I think. A part of me.

I keep my art and #drawings hidden from almost everyone—I’ll try to share more. Notes from my daily sketchbook.

She prepares for battle. I think she’s half badger.

All over my FB people talking about their bad experiences with shingles vax and dissuading each other from getting it! We need to give people real info on how to mitigate the symtoms caused by vaccines because vaccines are always better than meeting a virus unprepared. Yet drs aren't coaching ppl

Trees are the lungs of our planet. They clean our air, cool our streets, and protect our neighborhoods 🌳
Today, we’re marking a major milestone in District 3.

Did you know that if you’re a crafty practical type, you can spend hours and hours singeing your own frayed antiqued #velvet #ribbon for the xmas tree? The loose threads were disturbing the grandma spirits.

A study on 1.7 million people in Hong Kong shows superior hybrid immunity to Covid in people who got vaccinated before infection vs. people who got infected first. "Our findings are a direct rebuttal to arguments for natural immunity," the authors write. doi.org/10.1016/j.va...

I found the entrance to the old Black Ash mine, finally. The rock steps down are filled in with dirt and blocked by fallen trees, but I can still imagine the ghosts of dead miners coming up from there at night, to wander around.

I’ll stick to day hikes for now. #NewYork #Hiking

A bike bus!!! Omg I would have LOVED this as a kid. Empowering.

I’ve watched this video 5x. I just noticed the parents(?) cheering from the sideline too. #BikeBus @zohrankmamdani.bsky.social
The best part is seeing what happens when you give children a joyful way to start their day. They show up energized, confident, and connected. This is what happens when streets feel welcoming and movement is part of the morning routine. #BikeBus

Urban centers can be a thriving green paradise. Get involved with your local government. Redesign them to reduce cars and add trees!!

Green creates #green. Business booms. 🌳🌳🌳🌳

Data centres are energy hungry but what if we could use their waste heat to heat our homes?

That's exactly what happens in places like Finland: Cities are tapping the vast amounts of waste heat generated by data centres, and feeding it into district-heating networks.

For #WorldAIDSday, make it personal, make it about YOU. Do your part to counteract and reverse the #stigma which keeps people hiding in silence, afraid to test and treat.

Would YOU date someone HIV+?

If not, why not? It’s 2025.
Undetectable = untransmissable.

In a pilot study, A.I.was able to accurately predict the type of coda, the whale’s vocal clan and the individual whale with over 90% accuracy.
... it might be possible to use A.I. to find patterns within the vocal data and eventually translate what whales were saying to one another.

A peaceful little waterfall on the trail today. In the summer months the understory is so thick it’s harder to get to.

A peaceful moment. #Hiking #NewYork

Dr. Jane started every lecture with this powerful message: Each of us has the power to create a better future.

We can honour her legacy by "doing our bit" – protecting wildlife, supporting community-led conservation, empowering young leaders, and sharing her message to inspire others.

The #palette of the winter forest in my part of the #Appalachian foothills. Can you spot the evergreen pine trees (and Aspens) out there? 🙂

I hike all year long because one learns so much about the forest following it through the Seasons.

Left: November. Right: July

A warning about invasive species and how naive local and world governments can be. One single bad idea spreads out of control.

Don’t mess with the Nature’s carefully evolved balance. Plant #native species only. 🙏🏻🌍💚💙
