Endure amidst the current
Be motionless in the tumult
When the shadow descends
Be muscle, be maw, be might
And fend with one's being entire

In the last day, at least 8 Cedar Waxwings have died after colliding with windows on the VCU campus 😢.

Very excited to bathe in the James in winter during the #RVA water crisis. The baby sturgeon can exfoliate my toes, and we can make toxic mud masks.

Anyone in #RVA have confirmation yet that we should be boiling water, or details about what (if anything) when wrong at which pump station?

The #Amtrak Route 40 Floridian is now pulling out of DC.

The social contract is not yes broken, but it has frayed enough that the conductor has admonished us over the intercom: “Positive vibes! Positive vibes, people!”

This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for Wisdom the 74+ year old Laysan Albatross, who has just laid another egg at Midway Atoll.
