We must confess that we are the possible
We are the miraculous, the true wonder of this world
That is when, and only when
We come to it." - Maya Angelou.

Wishing you a lovely evening and a wonderful Wednesday! 💛💜

just learned we won an award for our blog post about Tom Holland and stormwater management.

remember, when you see an article about stormwater management, you repost it. i don’t make the rules.

Hey! Northern hemisphere folks:

this is my annual reminder to myself and perhaps also to you that if you have the schedule autonomy to permit it, get out for a walk or whatever during daylight hours! It's important!

You can work more when it's dark but you need whatever sunlight is available!

This month we will be holding space for discussion about dealing with the difficult feelings that arise when our communities are threatened or harmed, as well as practices of gratitude that can sometimes provide relief to the bitterness.

Yeah sorry seeing that Olivia Nuzzi was making songs about being "jailbait" at 16 and no parent stepped in, that she was scooped up by a MUCH older and MUCH more powerful man when she was concerningly young...

This seems like a much sadder story than the current discourse on it suggests

A lot of artist book fairs do surveys after and ask vendors/publishers how much money they made at the fair. It would be helpful for fair organizers to share those replies (anonymously) to help other publishers determine whether they think a fair might be economical for them to participate in.

Being a NYC resident (assuming that's the R train you mention?) is exponentially enhanced by nourishing your childlike wonder at what other people's public behavior reveals about the human condition. Gotta balance it with a healthy dose of staying frosty & alert, but there's joy in walking that line

Kind of feels like the IOC expected for the study to say "yeah trans women are like the hulk somehow" and when it completely undercut the reasoning behind banning us. They have simply elected to ignore their own work.

I am not being hyperbolic when I say that how Harvard and the economics profession respond to Larry Summers will determine who makes up the next generation of economists.
