Seeking out small beautiful things, especially in nature, is akin to gratitude practice with the positive effect it has on anxiety & mood.

I plan to post at least one of my photos a day here on Bluesky. I design each of my photos using recent research into the benefits to mental health of looking at plants & patterns in nature.
Making my collections relaxes my noisy autistic+ADHD brain & they'll relax yours by looking at them here:

The four pillars of disordered doubt:
Doubt the Evidence
Doubt the Source
Doubt the Process
Doubt the Claim
Each pillar corrodes truth validation in a different way, but together they build epistemic collapse.

I've written a lot about disordered discourse and counterpublics, but given recent events I want to cover a key part of disordered discourse, which I call the four pillars of disordered doubt.

Inspired by Fred Rogers, @nature.com asked readers to help us 'find the helpers' amid the crisis in American science. What emerged were inspiring stories of researchers, legal experts, data hounds and government scientists who are fighting the dismantling of the US research enterprise. 🧪🧵1/6

If we really want to make America healthy again, walkability should be a priority

Pastel interpretation of pine bark in sunlight. Inspiration was a photo taken through zoom lens from where I lay. The photo was out of focus but I just wanted a reference for when able to use my soft pastels to recreate the essence of the tree trunk in the golden light.
