Today we should celebrating my son's 34th birthday, but 11 years ago he took his own life. Check in on your friends and family. If you're in a dark place, reach out to someone. You are loved. The world is a better place with you here.

These past weeks, my crew and I have been conducting data recovery on roughly 8 acres of land slated for development. The information we have uncovered will change the narrative related to the right flank of the Battle of Sackets Harbor.

Friends, as much fun as it is to play "Goon, fiend, or wanker? with the Trump regime, the sad reality is that this regime is actively attacking the LGBTQ+ community. Please share this LGBTQ+ friendly one-pager of mental health resources widely #PrideMonth #MentalHealth #AltComms

In 1873 Dr. Franklin B. Hough saw the need to protect forests from overexploitation. He wrote a report "On the Duty of Governments in the Preservation of Forests” calling for forestry schools and laws to protect & regulate forests. He championed stewardship over dominance.
