I wrote my first opinion piece for @nyc.streetsblog.org! Those Amazon cargo e-bikes that have taken NYC by storm are actually good! nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/08/05/o...

Foodswings on Grand Street in Williamsburg, Brooklyn was this vegan junk food joint where the staff had the most punk rock aesthetic and they mastered the most amazing fake spicy hot "chicken" wings. RIP

I got to write about the mysterious orange snowy owl spotted in Michigan's thumb for @nytimes.com! Was it a genetic mutation? Did it get drenched in de-icer at a local airport? I talked to some experts! (A big thanks to my editor @michaelroston.bsky.social) www.nytimes.com/2025/03/11/s...

It's easy to feel disempowered right now. But one person can make a difference. Read about these Western monarch conservationists for inspiration! #WesternMonarch #conservation #climatechange #threatenedspecies #XercesSociety #monarchadvocates #pollinators therevelator.org/save-monarch...
