Residents of British Columbia will change their clocks this weekend as daylight saving time shifts into place and then will never do so again. The Canadian province is permanently adopting the new clock, officials announced on Monday, ending the twice-a-year ritual of changing every clock you own.
We stand with you, @postguild.bsky.social

Two nights a week at Refettorio Harlem, a nonprofit restaurant and food pantry, chefs turn donated food that would otherwise go to waste into a multicourse dinner that is served to anyone who is hungry. The chef Massimo Bottura said he wanted to “create places where food becomes a connector.”

One of the volunteers at Refettorio Harlem told me the work he does there feels akin to divinity. I could see it in the way he took time to speak with every guest he served.
I looked for the helpers and I found them.
They reminded me of what @pattonoswalt.bsky.social said, “it’s chaos, be kind.”
Refettorio Harlem almost entirely funded by private donations and run by mostly volunteers.
“Harlem takes care of Harlem” was the vibe I got, and it was tender, kind and empathetic. No one gets turned away
A dinner guest who was there with her little girl told me that while she gets many of her meals at churches, there’s nothing that comes even remotely close to what Refettorio provides.
At Refettorio, “people love my baby, they love me,” she said. “It has to do with respect.”
At Refettorio Harlem, everyone is treated to a gourmet three-course meal surrounded by art and beauty.
As one person told me, this place can make the overwhelming challenges of food insecurity, waste and loneliness “feel a little lighter,” as if “it’s possible to have change.”
Amid the chaos, I’ve been thinking a lot about what Mr. Rogers said: “Look for the helpers. You will always find people who are helping.”
So I did just that. And I found them in Harlem, feeding body and soul. This is the story of Refettorio Harlem

A prolonged drought and other factors have muffled the kaleidoscopic blend of reds, oranges and yellows in some areas of New England this fall. As a result, disappointed leaf peepers have been left to wonder what fall will look like in a changing climate.

The New York Sumo Club has grown steadily since its inception, even accounting for hiccups, Mr. Dolan said. The club has about 100 wrestlers, with around 20 regulars. When it first started, members met and grappled on the meadow in Prospect Park
Daniel Douglas, right, and Angelo Lizardi, left, face off during an open-weight division match. Lizardi, who is much smaller than Douglas, slammed into his chest as they fought for dominance at an amateur sumo tournament.
The community built by the club is an inclusive one, where “all body types, all gender expressions” are welcome, said Daniel Robert Douglas, the club’s vice president
This one is about the first amateur sumo club in NYC.
When Oscar Dolan realized there were no amateur clubs in the city, he begrudgingly started his own. That was three years ago. Earlier this month, the club held its first tournament.
But this about more than sumo. It’s about community
At the Gecko Gallery NYC there are New Caledonian giant geckos, psychedelic rock geckos, monkey-tailed skinks, giant leaf-tailed geckos, peacock day geckos, and even a tiny juvenile (although almost fully grown) carpet chameleon that can easily curl up on your fingertip — just to name a few

Geckos are diverse, funny little creatures. They’re also very old. One expert told me they’ve been around since before dinosaurs roamed the Earth.
This one is about a tiny zoo that’s opening in Brooklyn.
Earlier this month I got a preview of The Gecko Gallery NYC where visitors will get a chance to hang with about 150 lizards in a roughly 400-square-foot room. It opens this weekend
A gloved hand over different traditional Chinese medicine herbs. The T.C.M. sector is one of many industries that could be upended by Trump’s trade war
Traditional Chinese medicine boomed over the last two decades. Most shops and practitioners are small, operating on slim margins. Trump’s tariffs threaten both that growth and consumers’ access to this type of health care

Incredibly honored to have joined @jholman.bsky.social (the 🐐) on this important piece. Give it a read.
This one is about overspending, overconsumption, shopping addiction, marketing, and consumers who are pushing back.
This one is about roses, tulips, sustainability, and love (all kinds of it).
I know there’s a lot going on in the world, but there’s also some beauty. Come for the details on the tulip’s quiet war on roses, stay for the absolutely gorgeous photos 🌷
