Gotta say, I was thrilled to hear that @trufelman.bsky.social went to Natick Labs for her latest GEAR episode. My first job was at USARIEM - it’s an amazing place. Thanks for a great episode! (BTW, the ARMY t-shirts I bought 30 yrs ago are still goin’ strong.)

My reaction to pretty much everything these days. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Comic of a man and a woman sitting at a table with glasses of wine in front of them. The woman has her hand on her chin and is saying, “I’m trying to see things from your perspective, but I just can’t make myself that dumb.”

Mayor Hidalgo has led its urgent and radical greening by introducing initiatives to reduce traffic and projects to reinvent the cityscape in a way that was undreamt of a few years ago.”

In 2006 I had the privilege of being the event photographer for a Jane Goodall talk at the University of Toronto. This is one of my fave shots. She was one of the good ones. (Okay, she was the best of the best.) #JaneGoodall

I get what this article is trying to do but framing improving cyclist and pedestrian safety as their responsibility (instead of the motorists that hit and kill them) annoys me. That being said, I do wear a light clipped to my shirt when walking at night. www.npr.org/2025/09/25/n...

8 walking and biking safety tips that just might save your life

In 2024, 7,100 pedestrians were killed on the road, and in recent years, more than 1,000 cyclists have been hit and killed annually. Safety experts explain how bikers and walkers can stay safe.
