This is a picture from a nature class that I teach. I love this picture so much. But I’ve been thinking a lot about how backwards it is that teaching, especially about nature, is one of the most important things I can be doing and yet teachers do not make enough to own a house in American cities.

My first post on Bluesky. I’m an outdoor educator interested in humans relationship to nature.

I share memes and thoughts on nature_is_not_metal IG and I love talking about animal cognition, conservation, culture, and the experience of awe in nature.
