I had this experience in Vienna at the Breugel exhibit. We just bought a membership and walked right in.
I am not a happy Mariners fan. But tomorrow! Hoping for a turnaround.

I didn’t know Susan as well as a lot of people at NPR did, but she once gave me her extra ticket to see Michael Urie in BUYER & CELLAR, and I’ll always be grateful.

It’s one of my favorite facts about the NPR building that she’s the voice in the elevators. “Fourth floor.” An icon.

"The tree I had in the garden as a child, my beech tree, I used to climb up there and spend hours. I took my homework up there, my books, I went up there if I was sad, and it just felt very good to be up there among the green leaves and the birds and the sky." -Jane Goodall

my heart exactly💜

My french ass is saying : let your phone at home
Write the number of a protest legal team on your arm or on paper
Fix a meeting point with your friends in advance
Stay safe and if a situation is too much for you, leave (anxiety kicking in the middle of tear gas, i don't recommand 😑)
And stay safe
✊🏻
If you're going to #NoKings on Saturday, take a few minutes to secure your phone (& you know, just generally, let's all secure our phones a little better!) - here are couple of posts with guidance on alla that ⬇️

The only way to guarantee that your phone & what's on it stay safe is to not carry it. Some people leave theirs at home.

If you're bringing your phone (I am), there are ways to make it safER. Good resources in this+next post.

Safer passwords PLEASE!

In 1895, Oscar Wilde was barred from the British Museum’s Reading Room, the precursor to the British Library, after being convicted of gross indecency. But on Thursday, the British Library will hand over a symbolic new card to his grandson.

Scientists just found several fossil bumblebees covered in pollen that directly matches fossil flowers nearby.

The 24-million-year-old discovery reveals the oldest known evidence connecting pollinators to the pollinated.

As a historian, I can certify that we are in the bad times. But bad times eventually end.
In the meantime:
• Figure out a small way to help someone
• Figure out a small way to fight back
• Figure out a small place to find joy
• Figure out a small way to grow and thrive

And do it often.
Huge congratulations! So grateful for your voice.

I don't think the xitter exodus has found me but just as a reminder, there is a starter pack of accounts that post about North American native plants. These are mostly not pro naturalists or landscapers or horticulturists, just humans who are really into plants. 🌱 go.bsky.app/MWY25jQ
I'm grateful the press banded together on this.
