Five More Novels About Long Relationships I’ve Read alifeinbooks.co.uk/2025/09/five... via @alifeinbooks.bsky.social

The list of heavyweight Dems in New York and across the country who have endorsed Mamdani keeps getting longer. This is shaping up as a real litmus test for politicians' understanding of the future of the Democratic Party.

Rochester area friends: This Saturday is HarvestFest at Tinker Park in Henrietta where I will be hanging an installation. Come on out if you're in the area! 11-2pm.

The world has become unfathomable on every level so I invite everyone in the greater Rochester area to come to Tinker Park, Henrietta NY to walk the trails and see some art. This is a collaboration with Jappie King Black who did the grapevine figures. Yesterday we installed the banners.

Do you love alpine plants, ancient DNA, and/or population genetics? My lab will be hiring a postdoc soon to be based at the University of Maine! We’re looking for someone who uses genetic tools and thinks like a community ecologist. Happy to chat at #ESA2025 if you’re interested.

Fuck yeah. Right?

Well, I’m gonna insist that you listen to this. Definition of terms: “these people” = Latino migrants “Inner city people” = Black people “We tried to get them [inner city people] to do it” = slavery & sharecropping

Today in Rochester NY 🏳️‍🌈 #ROC #art

The opening of Main Street Arts exhibition Geo+Metric featuring over 40 New York State artists was my second day on the job as their new Community and Office Coordinator. Pictured is artist Jean Stephens (right) in front of her piece. Clifton Springs, NY also sports the fantastic bookstore, Sulfur.

We're living in a carnival world so instead of telling you what's on my mind and it not mattering to anyone who can change things, I'm going to advertise this great art gallery and opening of a new exhibit (and yes I have a piece in the show). Main Street Arts, Clifton Springs, NY, Sat Aug 2 3-6pm.

Rochester! Check out friend of the fest's @richardbcolon.com new photography exhibit “Community Over Competition” opening this Friday at @flowercityarts.bsky.social! flowercityarts.org/events/commu... Reception: Aug. 1st 6 - 9pm Free entry #ROC #RochesterNY #FirstFriday #photography

Good reminder as we sit through our daily deluge of Trump and his cults lies.

"The issue of government has always been whether individual men and women will have to serve some system of government and economics, or whether a system of government and economics exists to serve individual men and women."  —FDR, 1932

It's too hot to do anything more than be, this is my Sunday reflection. Photo of Hemlock Lake, NY.

“I like to think that the border between Canada and the United States is the only frontier where armed forces guard against illegal entry not by keeping people out, but by welcoming them in.”- Harry S Truman Happy Independance Day from a Canuck friend.

A new mural in France depicting Lady Liberty covering her face in shame was unveiled one day before America's Independence Day.

Rochester NY people: Ongoing progress in the art installation of The Twining at Tinker Park, Henrietta NY. This is Jappie King Black's work and you really should swing by to see it. More is coming. Stay tuned.

My friends at WGMC here in the #ROC keep letting me play music reviewer during our jazz festival. I'm enjoying stretching my legs with a different kind of writing. Plus, the music has been great! jazz901.org/44321/scott-...

What the actual

Okay the world sucks right now. We can agree on that. Also a walk and nature is good for the soul so Rochester Friends: A new multi-season installation at Tinker Park in Henrietta is going up created by Jappie King-Black and myself. We will be announcing dates for artist talks and discussions soon.

The @nywfp.bsky.social *declined* to endorse incumbent #ROC Mayor Malik Evans. They also made excellent endorsements for ROC City Council, School Bd, FamCt Judge etc. (see snapshot below) WFP Voting guide for all NY state primaries: workingfamilies.org/2025/06/nywf...

Stolen Valor 101 You have been in one of the most powerful positions in the nation since Trump was reelected. You did NOTHING to protect us and have been collaborating and appeasing. And now you're "proud" that you showed up to a march that you had literally NOTHING to do with? Pathetic

While we’re distracted by Trump, Newsom and the Los Angeles protests The Big Ugly Bill lurks If passed-11 million would lose health insurance 24 million could see large cost increases Medical centers will close So healthcare workers will be fired And rural towns will collapse DON’T LOSE FOCUS

Warren's report is here: www.warren.senate.gov/imo/media/do... - It's 14 pages and could likely be turned into a 5 page artful zine that can be printed and distributed across the country.

There are 2 previous historical cases of countries destroying their science and universities, crippling them for decades: Lysenkoism in the USSR and Nazi Germany. The Trump administration will be the 3rd. It's not just budgets but research, institutions, expertise, and training the next generation.

Busting up big corporations and tackling Wall Street’s greed. Getting big money out of politics.  Strengthening unions and fighting for higher wages. Medicare for all, paid leave, universal childcare... This is the progressive populist agenda we need in America.

We can’t let it fly under the radar that the GOP tax package would eliminate funding for Planned Parenthood and block ACA insurance plans from covering abortions. This is going to have a huge impact on women’s access to reproductive care in every single state.

The Director by Daniel Kehlmann is a fascinating dive into ambition and morality. It left me pondering the choices we make. A perfect weekend read to escape into layered thoughts. #booksky #books

Grateful my poem “ Dear Menopaused Vagina,” is in this new collection. Can’t wait to read the other poems.

This report from @sanders.senate.gov didn't get enough attention yesterday. It tracks how much funding from science Trump has killed. www.sanders.senate.gov/wp-content/u...

this is a letter to the editor from a high school track runner who came in second to a trans girl in a race. her state house rep in maine started talking about it. so she wrote this: www.pressherald.com/2025/05/14/r...

Really hard to post about one's own stuff with all the craziness out there but Rochester friends, come in out of the cold, indifferent world at The Little Cafe where I have a collaborative show with Stacy Mayou that runs the gamut from pastoral to the political. Up until May 27th.

New preview on my blog - Books to Look Out For in June 2025: Part Two alifeinbooks.co.uk/2025/05/book... #Booksky

At The Little Cafe today, get out of the rain, have a coffee, glass of wine, a little something to eat perhaps and come see some art. Stacy and I will be there 2-4pm. Rochester NY

This was actually a really great way to respond.

Rochester NY friends. Please join Stacy Mayou and myself at The Little Cafe, Sunday May 4th 2-4pm. It is an eclectic exhibit that explores the complexities of modern experience.

Many British churches have yew trees in their grounds. However many were there BEFORE the church. Pagan rituals have become Christian in nature through time. Yew trees were used as places of gathering by Druids, so the churches were placed where people always met

Holly Greenberg and Mizin Shin will be running an eco-art workshop on Monday, May 5th, from 1-4 PM at the U of R. Come make bird art and learn about window collisions and how to prevent them. It's open to everyone in the Rochester area (and beyond). After the workshop, I'll moderate a public Q&A.
