Lessons from the Everglades The Everglades: a place where swamps and rivers and mangroves are home to a diverse and important range of creatures.

Got to experience the Everglades last month and it was beautiful. Here are the lessons I learned.

Let’s Talk about Space And all the creatures that could? Be out there

Been reading a lot of science fiction that takes place in deep space. What’s your favorite space story?? Who’s your favorite alien? #ScienceFiction #BookSky

Imposter syndrome is real.
How do you get rid of it

Wow.

Death of a Mall Yeah, the shopping mall

Indoor malls could actually be really cool spaces for society if we just changed the priorities from profits to people. Here’s a piece I wrote about it.

Adventures in Hell And the stories written about it.

Adventures in Hell, aka my admiration of R. F. Kuang. #BookSky

Screenshot of a Philadelphia Inquirer Politics post stating, “The National Park Service has started dismantling exhibits about slavery at the President’s House in Independence National Historical Park.” The image shows several workers removing a mounted sign/exhibit panel from a stone wall outdoors.

Those who try to erase the past will never learn its lessons.

I appreciate your comment so much. Thank you.

The Trees, the Sky, the Wild A poem

Sometimes the thoughts and feelings in my head need to come out. This time they came out as a poem. So here it is. #Poem #Writers #ClimateJustice

Stealing our neighbors from their homes. Building a giant ballroom at the White House.
But no, let’s not feed our people. They can go hungry.

Make it make sense.

I just read an article about the ski industry in #NewHampshire talking about how they adapt in this drought we have been in. And how the industry’s ski season is shifting. And I’m left thinking:
Why tf is the ski industry allowed to even make snow in a drought. They should be the first to conserve!

If you could wish for anything, what would you wish for? A reflection on wishing, ethics, and a really cool graphic novel.

Moral of this story: I need to read more graphic novels.

Uncommonly Musical A reflection on Light from Uncommon Stars

My latest reflection on a book I loved: Light from Uncommon Stars. I love when reality gets hit with really strange science fiction attributes. #BookSky #SciFi rebeccabwrites.substack.com/p/uncommonly...

It’s actually really not helpful for the older generations to say we’re doomed and should give up when us young people really just want them to teach us what they know so we can fight for some type of livable future.
Thanks xoxo

Fairy stories are pretty cool. And there are endless possibilities. Here is my reflection on The Cruel Prince.

So, protecting the environment doesn't matter any more I guess My personal response to the EPA rolling back pollution limits.

Let’s talk about it. These EPA rollbacks are devastating. I should know. I grew up near a coal plant.

What it is to be Human, or Robot Reflection on a Prayer for the Crown-Shy

Yeah so Prayer for the Crown-Shy is one of my favorite books now. Worth reading right now if it’s getting hard to hold onto hope. Or just if you like stories about sentient robots. #BookSky #Writers #SciFi

I Want My Taxes to Fund Climate Solutions, Not the Detention of My Neighbors | Common Dreams If we redirected just a fraction of the money we are wasting on ICE to transition our energy grid to clean energy, we could save billions of dollars in healthcare and disaster recovery costs every yea...

I actually want to pay taxes though. But only if they go to things that actually help my community. Enough of ICE. Enough of kidnapping my neighbors.

I am positive that the folks who follow me already know this, but if you see a person being kidnapped off the street, put your body in the way.

Record it and get in the way.

We can learn from harmonies in the woods The green is coming in.

What we can learn from the woods - a reflection on my morning walks as of late.
