As winter flooding looms, it's worth noting that a young street tree in an asphalt surface can prevent 60% of the rain that falls on it from reaching the ground, even when not in leaf.

Increasing the low levels of urban tree cover should be a strategic national priority.

A little video we took of our Aquatifur tables! We designed a lot of signage and what not for this setup and wanted to show it off 🤩

( I promise the video is not crunchy, just the preview image 😭)

#Turkeywork (also Norwich-work) is a hand-knotted and cut wool pile furnishing textile popular from the C16 - mid C18 in England. Elizabethan Turkeywork was commercially produced in 1583 in Norwich but also in Windsor and York.
Original designs imitated Middle Eastern imported carpets.

In the heatswamps of central Florida in the middle of the last century, more than two dozen Black painters flourished, their electric palm-laced sunsets and stormy surfside scenes capturing a moment, and locale, uniquely their own.

The Highwaymen were Black artists who sold paintings from the trunks of their cars, finding their own kind of freedom - The Boston Globe
Dozens of their electric-colored Florida landscapes are now on view at the Addison Gallery of American Art.

“More than 50 days have passed since the start of Iran’s rainy season and more than 20 provinces have not yet had a drop. The number of dams that have less than 5% of their reservoir capacity had increased from eight to 32, and the crisis has spread from the central plains right across the country.”

I'm just an organizer who lives in Charlotte and is a 1st gen American of Jamaican heritage. I do not have the words for what the last few weeks have been like.

I am trying my best to breathe, deliver for my clients & show up for the communities I belong to that need support right now.
I'm failing.

Mine enemies were as weeds
they flowered thick in number,
I sent them one by one
to deep eternal slumber,
the world became a desert,
so dry that nothing grows,
except for powerful me
and my nodding yes-men crows

Let's talk about books and the public trust.

📚🧵

Something that is easy to forget, in these days of barcode-scanning / auto-adjust pricing on third-party platforms for pennies plus shipping:

Booksellers are not merely people who sell some popular books in a competitive market.
