Fellow NYCers: from artist Megan Piontkowski comes this handy dandy printable/foldable pocket guide to the mayoral race, to ranked-choice voting, and to keeping Cuomo out. Print 'em, fold 'em, pass 'em around. :)

An idea I love from a book I love.
A quote from Richard Powers' book The Overstory: "Trees know when we are close by. The chemistry of their roots and the perfumes of their leaves pump out change when we're near... when you feel good after a walk in the woods, it may be that certain species are bribing you."
