Great piece by @ByKateMorgan in @washingtonpost on learning to love pigeons again. I'm quoted! : “Because of climate change & urbanization, we’re in this moment where animals have to adapt to living w/ people. Pigeons are on the leading edge of that.” washingtonpost.com/home/2024…

I’ve been thinking a lot about placentas lately, and not just cause I grew two in three years. Doctors are using placental tissue to perform - I’m gonna say it - medical miracles, and I wrote about it for @nytimes.

Many thanks to @maxwellstrachan for having faith in this weird and wonderful bit of good news. May it reach hearts & minds (& placentas!)
Editors like @paulrauber don’t come along every day. Grateful to have worked with/learned from you. Happy trails!
The stalwart @paulrauber is retiring from @Sierra_Magazine after an illustrious 34-year-run @SierraClub. And, boy, are we gonna miss him

Appalachia's natural resiliency puts it alongside the Amazon rainforest as one of the most globally important landscapes for tackling climate change. As #COP28 wraps, we looked to the region for solutions.
What we found will surprise you.

As usual, @ajzaleski’s work is insightful and nuanced and somehow timely and timeless. 👏
Making my @nytimes debut with brilliant fellow freelancer @elliepses with a feature we co-reported and co-wrote on America's loneliness epidemic, and what to do about it. It's the cover of this weekend's Sunday section, and online today. nytimes.com/2023/07/14/opini…
Sometimes in an interview a source says something you instantly recognize as the line you’ll use to promote the story. In this case, it was “toads drink with their butts.”

Big thanks to @northspore for their insight on this one. And in case you’re still on the fence, here’s my own Lion’s Mane, a little over a week in:
"Our natural touchstones of joy will deliver us to heartbreak. Each of us will face the losses of the places that brought us to life."
