I'll never forget going outside and almost falling into a hole dug in the front lawn... where a whole light pole used to be.. because a fiend dug it up in the middle of the night to sell for scrap

an example of an outdoor light pole like the one that was stolen from in front of my house

Ursula reminded us: "We live in capitalism, its power seems inescapable - but then, so did the divine right of kings. Any human power can be resisted and changed by human beings."

Considering I was pushing this book onto my local booksellers just yesterday, finding my copy of @oliviawrites.bsky.social 's lovely Zomromcom from @romancingthevote.com was a nice coincidence 💕📚

Still floating a bit from yesterday - more than 50+ people showed up for my opening (!!!) from so many different communities of mine. Holding this many compliments is physically uncomfortable 😆 but I'm proud of what I've accomplished

Sharing from over on IG; an important part of this project for me is lifting up my Black naturalist peers and inspirations! Here's the first five selections I've added to the museum library:

#BirdOfTheDay (or I guess BirdsOfTheDay? 😝) is a really fun shot I love using in educational settings - a Sandhill Crane, Great Blue Heron and Great Egret together! Gruiformes vs. Pelecaniformes, including the telltale retracted neck in flight for those in the heron family 🪶🧪

It's still surreal to say things like "I'm working on my upcoming museum exhibition" 😵‍💫 install and finalized dates soon! At the moment, I'm excited about how I'm going to honor my peer Black naturalists, aspirational artists & scientists as part of the exhibit 🥲love & lineage through citation

And so it came that Dusty, Jim and the other championship ring bearers boarded the last ship, going out from the Ann Arbors and diminishing into the Uttermost West, until at last on a night of rain Dusty smelled a foul fragrance on the air and heard the sound of booing that came over the water.

We had a small group for yesterday's Black Men Read session @ypsilibrary.org but it was a great time with some fun outdoor exploration mixed in! Loved getting to read Buzzing With Questions, and learned about the brilliant zoologist and entomologist Charles Henry Turner in the process. 🧪🐝
