This arrived in the mail today. Yay! I've been wishing I could be camping somewhere (preferably for the next 4 years). At least I can live vicariously through another hiker. 💚

I keep finding cool new books on Bluesky. ❤️
Speaking of #booksky, I have my very own book coming out this April! It has 52 #embroidery patterns inspired by wildlife and wildflowers. From beginner to advanced I think any nature lover will find something in this book! Available for preorder anywhere books are sold, or request at your library!

Watch for this new book. It's an important chapter in NJ's role in the environmental movement, a tribute to Dr. Eugene Vivian and his colleagues, and a reminder to the rest of us to pick up where they left off... especially now. Thank you, William Lewis, for telling the story!

Bloomberg philanthropy to cover U.S. climate dues after Paris withdrawal
Former New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg's philanthropy and other U.S. funders said on Thursday they will cover U.S. financial obligations to the UN climate framework after President Donald Trump called for the U.S. to withdraw - for a second time - from the Paris climate agreement.
