Hello! I made a music video for this song by pianist Nitai Hershkovits. The video is about bugs!

Features painted backgrounds by artist/animator Zoë Medcraft (who is also my fiancée). This is our first time collaborating on a project of this scope, and is hopefully the first of many! You can check out more of her stuff at instagram.com/trugglet

GOP Platform Proposes To Get Rid Of National Parks And National Forests

By Jenny Rowland / Think Progress 7/15 The Republican platform committee met this week to draft the document that defines the party’s official principles and policies.

“Congress shall immediately pass universal legislation providing a timely and orderly mechanism requiring the federal government to convey certain federally controlled public lands to the states,” reads the adopted language. “We call upon all national and state leaders and representatives to exert their utmost power and influence to urge the transfer of those lands identified.”
