Edgewater NIMBYs tried exactly this plan to stop the upzoning along Broadway in Edgewater & Uptown Chicago, and I'm incredibly grateful that we had enough organized & independent pushback on their bullshit that the upzoning did successfully pass.
Have you heard of “The Populist Playbook?”
A few years ago, I posted what I still consider one of my most important messages.
It was about “The Populist Playbook” that I’ve watched play out often over my 33+ years of city planning.
Since then, it’s only gotten worse.
Do the steps sound familiar?

Feeling sad today, so thought I'd share something from one of my art projects, which is to bring life to Aotearoa's #extinct species. Here's a little treasure called tutukiwi, a shorebird which lived in the forest, extinct in 1964.

What's the best use of rocks as a climate solution?
Is it grinding them up and spreading them on fields, or is it throwing them at billionaires? Let's go to this meeting and decide.

I bought purifiers for my lab four years ago.
I wrote masks into our research protocols.
Then I was told:
“You can’t require N95s — that would trigger OSHA inspections and fit-testing.”

I’ll never forgive schools and healthcare systems that had years to fix the air and didn’t.
They had the money. The science. The time.
They chose denial instead of duty.

If you'd asked me which celebrity would posthumously unveil a list of people she wanted fired into the sun, I would not have guessed Jane Goodall
Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Jane Goodall's mother, Vanne Goodall, accompanied her to Tanzania when she began her research in 1960, as British colonial authorities would not allow the young woman to conduct research alone in the field.

Wellington! Some of our Covid aware folks have set up a mask bloc.
This mask bloc can't run without the generosity of donors. Five dollars may mean that a checkout worker can take 5 masks that they can reuse for months.
