A few words about fences and climbing vines, and about my late neighbor, and about Robert Frost and HIS neighbor. Mostly this piece is a meditation on time and the way it works on the human heart. And the way wildness finds every nook and cranny we leave for it. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/02/o...

When DOGE included the Freedom Rides Museum in its list of “underutilized” federal buildings targeted for potential sale, I just about lost my mind. The Freedom Riders' moral conviction in the face of hideous injustice is exactly the model we need right now. www.nytimes.com/2025/06/16/o...

Pod Save America brought on Bill Maher to spew easily disproven anti-trans talking points.
They keep saying they’re not anti-trans and trying to walk back statements they make.
I have offered to go on their show to talk.
I’m offering again now.
Talk to a freaking trans person.

I see people deactivating various social media accounts, which I understand & respect, but I’m done letting Bad Tech Bros™️ chase me out of my community spaces.
Maybe there are no more “good places.” Maybe there are only good people doing their best to navigate—& use for good—problematic spaces.
