Indoors, an unfolding leaf makes a break for it, craning to get outside to the sun. Not yet, plant, it’s still a chilly Spring.

We didn’t bother with the game today. Instead, we saw 100-120 trumpeter swans on the St. Croix River.
These amazing birds were once endangered, but now they are thriving — thanks to the amazing work of conservation groups across the nation.

Camino entre bruma y sendero,
miedo y duda por señal.
No busco puerto final
ni certeza primero.
Camino porque espero,
aunque la noche me alcance.
Avanzo sin más amparo
que el paso fiel y sencillo:
me guía un leve brillo
que al andar se hace balance.

Rats. I missed World Wetlands Day on the 2nd.
The animals are quiet in the cold
Or gone, though the rabbits dance and dart
The wind sings in the grass
I am home, restful, and the sky is my blanket

No joke: I got angry hate mail today for writing an obituary of a Black woman scientist—because the person felt she did didn’t deserve the recognition.
Which just makes me want to share it again: www.nature.com/articles/d41...

She made key contributions to US cold-war science despite facing huge barriers as a Black woman.

Un péndulo parece simple: una masa y una cuerda. Pero su ritmo es pura elegancia matemática. El peso no importa, solo la longitud y la gravedad. Al variar milímetros, emergen ondas hipnóticas. No vemos objetos, vemos patrones. A veces el orden más bello nace de reglas simples, no del caos.

El arte también se pisa. 🎨✨ Hay quienes convierten el suelo en lienzo y lo cotidiano en asombro. Calles grises se transforman en escenas 3D, mensajes sociales y trampas visuales que juegan con tu mirada. No cuelga en museos: vive en la calle, conecta con la gente y resignifica el espacio.

NEW: There are 2,400+ elections for DA & sheriff this year.
These matter hugely to criminal justice & policing—including: *these are often officials who decide ICE collaboration.*
So I took a dive into these 2,400+ races to identify early hotspots and battlegrounds.
