No politics today. If you have a thing you can do that you're putting off, don't. Do it. Today's Triad from @jvl.bsky.social: lnk.thebulwark.com/44PBPvD

recap 2025 NATURE (Re)Discoveries #4 THE FOREST Between May and September the beach is closed to dogs, and that was the beginning of a new love affair as I began to explore the forests on Usedom. 🧵 #photography #forest #forestfriends #nature #nature2025

Let’s forget politics for a moment and look closely at how the winged maple seeds called samaras shake off rain drops. Mechanical engineering professor Andrew Dickerson of the University of Tennessee has been doing just that: buff.ly/qHUTfAm

As of 12/24/25, USPS changed policy on when they postmark mail. Mail dropped off is no longer guaranteed a same-day postmark. Tax returns & other time-sensitive items are now stamped when they reach a regional processing center, which may be days later. Plan deadlines accordingly to avoid penalties.

Local anti-poverty groups have had to scramble and scale back this year as the Trump administration targeted safety-net programs. They are bracing for what may come next.

Hey so this seems like something more people should be talking about 🤔 🗳️ www.npr.org/2025/10/23/n...

Sweeping science cuts in 2025 halted clinical trials, erased public health data and forced researchers into impossible choices. “This year nearly broke me as a scientist,” one writes. Six researchers share their stories: buff.ly/u2MHIQo 🧪

Both of the homes Trump claimed as principal residences in the ’90s were used as investment properties and rented out, according to an interview with his longtime real estate agent — exactly the sort of scenario he’s pointed to as evidence of fraud.

I’m working on an illustrated notebook with ideas for engaging with nature called Get Outside! I’d love to hear from Bluesky folks about what they do in nature & how it helps.

36. We’re finally getting serious about net zero carbon. Getting that last 5-20% of carbon out of power will be hard, and require some expensive solutions. The first 80-95% is easy-ish but we're getting on with it.

It is such a delight to have an afternoon flight out of @flysfo.bsky.social w/ some extra time. The art, the food, the sustainability designed into the systems. Truly a happy experience.

How’s your summer kicking off? #GetOutside #NatureRx

I’d like to advocate for more 4 oz pots of jam available at farmers markets. I want to try all the flavors!

Remember last summer? Calm, boring last summer with a booming economy. The only worrying thing was high egg prices due to avian flu summer.

Getting & driving an EV is like trading in your flip phone for an iPhone 16. I’ve been gas free since 2013. Enough gas & maintenance savings to buy a new car. Driving a gas car now is super annoying. EVs are fun & instantly responsive. Road trip CA <—>WI every summer. It’s awesome.

Eating a peach on Day 0 is one of the sweetest summer delights.

Walking today, I was looking for anything pink. Pink is not common. Flowers are more often yellow or orange. But we did find some flowers, roses & a pink door Taking time to look for a color or specific thing on a walk can occupy your mind & leave you more ready for the day #GetOutside #NatureRx

When I notice my blood pressure rising when reading the news feeds, I break and visit #nature. Nature heals. Nature calms. #GetOutside #NatureRx

On this Earth Day, we need collective action, empathy & love more than ever. #GetOutside #NatureRx

Leucospermum commonly known as pincushions, in full bloom. Just look at that! #GetOutside #NatureRx

Neuroscience research from University of Vienna reveals that “exposure to natural environments activates areas of the brain associated with pleasure & relaxation, while simultaneously reducing activity in regions linked to pain and stress.” #reflexology #GetOutside #NatureRx

Yellows. Yellows are really popping right now. How much yellow is showing up on your walks? #GetOutside #NatureRx #yellow #suncup

Who did you walk with today? #getoutside #NatureRx #dogs

Did a little gardening today for my #outside time. My passion vine thinks it lives in the jungle. Cut it back before it flowers. #GetOutside #NatureRx

Where will you #GetOutside this summer? #NatureRx #LakeLife #WiLakes

It’s still important to get outside! #GetOutside #NatureRx

Have you ever hiked in the Alps?

When was the last time you went outside in your bare feet? 🦶 #GetOutside #NatureRx

I’m headed back to Naples

I made the classic & regrettable mistake of making not just 1 but 2 recipes from instagram this week. 🤠 Edible but not good. I want to toss the leftovers but will finish ‘cause good ingredients. Back to reliable sources for me. AI cld help by turning off all food posts for me.

Just listened to this great nature-based solution, Sponge Cities on @hereandnow.bsky.social www.wbur.org/hereandnow/2...

Packing up a huge collection of DVDs to drop off at the record store. Kinda makes me miss the days of new releases & bonus material & box sets. #DVDs #movies
