I’ve never been to Doha, but references to World Cup “fan zones” make me go “hmm…” A great city absorbs visitors into its (hopefully fine-grained) fabric. If Boston hosted the World Cup, the whole town would be the fan zone and it would be amazing. #WorldCup #urbanism

It occurred to me yesterday that I'm going on the bird site these days in the same way I slow down to gawk at a burning car on the shoulder of the highway.

Not sure what to do with Mastodon yet (same could be said for all social media) but so far I’ve found the engagement to be so very much higher, friendlier, and more personal, than the bird site. So I’ve got that going for me, which is nice. #Caddyshack

City: We unanimously declare a climate emergency! We must make change no matter what the cost!!

Community: Can we put in a protected bike lane?

City: No, we’ll lose parking spots.

An early-winter wonderland, looking west toward Devil’s Peak from a ridge above Palisade Lake, near Donner Summit. And this was Monday, before a storm dropped another 27 inches of snow. #snowshoeing #devilspeak #donnersummit #serenelakes #myotherbackyard #earlywinter

Most of Golden Gate Park used to be sand dunes. But did you know it also contains a native forest?

Wrote up one of my favorite car-free city hikes: Oak Woodlands!
