One week ago today I was in Toronto eating a 5 course dinner that my friends made for me as a welcome home. One thing about me and my friends is that we do not play games when it comes to food. This is important

My pumpkin carving this year is my most geometrically and technically challenging yet. In fact, for the first time ever, I've had to break this up over 2 days. Wish me luck for tomorrow

What a mess. Two of the 30 captive belugas held by Marineland Ontario have already died after the pair were recently transported to the US. 😞 We need more support for wild sea sanctuaries as a pathway to ending this cruelty. 👇 tinyurl.com/2d2zd8ns

In summer and fall, the stretch of ocean from the northern tip of the Outer Cape down past Chatham, on the Cape’s elbow, is now the best place to see great white sharks swimming close to shore. Though the sharks may deter some beachgoers, one thing is certain: They’re luring others. nyti.ms/46rCPGu

RIP Louisa Gag, a transit planner who dedicated her career to making Boston’s streets safer for cyclists & pedestrians. She was killed while biking to work on July 9, 2026. Street safety improvements shouldn’t be delayed, watered down, or treated as a political inconvenience. Safe streets now!!
