The fall garden starts to have a “beauty in the breakdown” vibe. Decaying blooms, dried-out petals and weedy unshorn plants. It’s almost time to cut them all back for another year, but look at the lovely glowing colors still tucked into all the mess. 🌱 #bloomscrolling #beautifuldisaster

For The New York Times, I wrote about how Rod Serling create The Twilight Zone in part because it was the only way in the 1950 and 60s for him to comment on the subjects he cared about most, and how that's a good blueprint for contemporary media to deal with our surreal current moment:

Some strange goings-on at House Roberts this afternoon. The 23yo just walked out the front door, came back in, & said "there are chickens in our yard." I was thinking, is this some euphemism the kids use these days? Some kind of metaphor? But no. There are four (4) big chickens in our front yard.

Tools of a Bat Biologist: Bat Detectors 🦇 Bats navigate and hunt using ultrasonic calls—sounds too high for us to hear. Bat detectors bring those calls into our hearing range and allow biologists to record and examine them. What can we learn by listening to bats? A thread… 1/2
