A last minute early adopter. Designer, dog-lover, ready for a vacation. Sometimes we split problems into too small pieces. I'm good at figuring out what they have in common and building from there. Also, I do dishes.
The Lancet: Architecture of mental health

Substandard housing is a significant public health
issue—insufficient space, restrictive layouts, low levels of sunlight & natural ventilation & inability to control privacy adversely impact quality of life & mental health www.thelancet.com/action/showP...

It’s like he is practicing his LonkedIn game, not a sitting Senator.
Chuck Schumer is one of the most useless organisms who has ever flopped around gasping for air on a post-apocalyptic beach.

I have met, then eaten, sea squirts with more gravitas.

It would be such welcome news if everyone finally accepted that Eucalyptus trees are explosive trash and we could get rid of them. And the number of ficus trees downed in these winds are eye-opening. Weak, shallow roots.
Using CEQA to block removal of flammable eucalyptus trees (oily bombs) or sidewalk-destroying ficus trees (ADA nightmare) should not be allowed

When I got my EV, a neighbor said “I hear some people think they are the future, and some people think gas is the always future.” EV’s are clearly the future and are hands-down better tech. The question is whether legacy carbon will let us get to the future.

After driving an EV for 6+ months, why anyone would want an electric car to sound like an ICE is ridiculous. If you want to be a child just make Vroom Vroom noises with your lips.

Absolutely INCREDIBLE demonstration of what this platform can do: subscribe to this labeler and see which fancy private school different UK public figures on here went to, and how much those schools cost. bsky.app/profile/dadd...

For Dwell I got to talk to a bunch of amazing researchers about why we continue to build in high climate-risk areas, and the ways we might consider some type of ethical built future under threat. www.dwell.com/article/why-...
Why Do We Keep Developing in Climate Disaster Zones?
Affordable real estate in the Sun Belt continues to attract buyers under a false sense of security. For experts, the burning question is how—or if—we can build housing ethically in at-risk areas.

I’ve been thinking about how much we need to get cities and code publishing orgs behind the idea of experimental ‘pilot districts’ where we can break all the rules of the codes, provided we have justification (i.e allowed abroad, studies suggesting safety or good performance ect). This is it.
instead of a world's fair - which is a temporary show - what if instead we copied the german IBA - the international bauausstellung (international building exhibition). the IBA is a architecture and planning expo that builds durable, innovative, and experimental communities.
