Thelonious Monk cuts through noise. Asked “Where’s jazz going?” he said: “I don’t know. You can’t make anything go anywhere. It just happens.”
When world feels unstable & future unclear it’s easy to lose hope. Monk reminds life, like jazz, can’t be forced. It unfolds. It improvises. It surprises.

One day after the Summer Solstice, and we’ve got snow in the mountains! A good omen for the 25-26 snowboarding season. 🏂
Enjoying summer while I prepare physically and mentally for tree runs and snowy silence.
Winter 25-26 let’s go!

Today we commemorate Juneteenth, when news of emancipation reached enslaved people in Texas on June 19, 1865.
Today we celebrate freedom, remember the struggles that made it possible, and pledge to continue working to build a more just society for all.

Today I flew the flag upside down as a symbol of distress - a signal that our nation is in dire peril.
Our democracy faces extreme danger under the current administration’s authoritarian overreach.
Patriotism means defending democracy, not bowing to tyranny. 🇺🇸

Spent my birthday cycling around Victoria, BC during the International Seaweed Symposium (they were nice enough to pause the symposium for the day). Beautiful day and closed it out with drinks and dinner with friends and colleagues. I’m ready for my next trip around the sun! Thanks everyone! 😎🌱🚴♂️🇨🇦🌞

Tis the season for geese to head north and today there were many flocks (or maybe one big one) passing overhead - here’s just one of them. (turn sound on for full experience) #geese

Shrimps is bugs? No, it’s kinda the other way around. Insects are technically crustaceans, which highlights the importance of systematics in understanding how evolution unfolds. My latest for @smithsonianmag.bsky.social.
You Might Think of Shrimp as Bugs of the Sea. But a Remarkable Discovery Shows the Opposite: Bugs Are Actually Shrimp of the Land
A recent study suggests that insects branched out from crustaceans on the tree of life

As we head into Spring, I’ve got bull kelp on my mind and looking forward to seeing these fast growing macro algae begin their journey to the surface in the coming weeks and months. #helpthekelp 🦑 #marinelife
