I really enjoyed presenting about how green space design travels between geographies and culture in east and southeast Asia yesterday at the @ihrlibrary.bsky.social History of Gardens and Designed Landscapes seminar - some great questions and a lovely crowd.

I just rolled up to the #HandsOff protest in my hometown of Marshfield, MA - a small coastal town about 30 miles south of Boston that’s a bit redder than MA overall. Huge crowds, content incoming for @motherjones.com

Among the material devastation to everyday people, Senate Dems have now blown a hole in their ability to work with the House.
We had an agreed upon plan, House took immense risk, then Senate turned around midway and destroyed it w/ a fear-based, inexplicable abdication.
They own what happens next.

If Dems were unwilling to fight over cabinet nominees and unwilling to fight over the budget/shutdown, it’s safe to assume they’re not going to fight over anything.

In her recent book, Britney Griner wrote about having security called on her in a US airport because she was using the women's restroom. Funny how none of the "fairness in women's sports!" crowd ever came to her defense.

I feel like I'm losing my mind here guys. The reason Democrats want Biden to step down is that 85% of Americans think Biden is too old to be president!
He called for an early debate, shit the bed, then was asked to show he wasn't too old, and shit the bed harder.
It's happening in public.

Okay. This is what the party elites are freaking out about. Not the polls, which as far as I can tell have been relatively static. It’s the damn money, isn’t it?

Honestly this is, I think, the overwhelming prevailing attitude across all kinds of other lines of difference.
As a lifelong Dem & fan, I hope that you make room on air for people who share this viewpoint.
If Biden is the candidate, I'm voting & working for Biden.
If Harris is the candidate, I'm voting & working for Harris.

I think “yeah Biden sucks but he’s been considerably better on certain issues than we all expected which probably makes him the best President of the past 50 years” is a much stronger electoral argument than “everything is great! Why can’t you see it’s great! What are you, stupid????”
