The Bare Hearth (a poem)
Last year I took a nature writing workshop at Battery Park City. It was a great group and we were fortunate to have a wonderful instructor. We ranged widely through the meaning of “nature,” including human nature and several takes on how harming the natural environment affects humans. During one of the early workshops we took a walk to the Irish Hunger Memorial for inspiration. Although my goal…

First Take on the Great #TwitterMigration
This week I've been spending more time on Mastodon. It's exciting to see the new people flocking there as part of the #TwitterMigration.
You’re online and reading a blog, so I’m going to assume you know that a multi-billionaire has purchased the microblogging site Twitter. This has caused great controversy and anxiety among the Twitter community. Some people seem to have left immediately, a couple of corporations have (temporarily?) suspended advertising on Twitter, and many people are flocking (pun absolutely intended) to other…

President Zelenskyy's, speech to the Russian people [English subtitles]
A simple, eloquent plea for peace and humanity
The Day Before
On the evening of September 10, 2001, I attended a talk by former Senator George Mitchell at St. Bartholomew’s Church in Manhattan. He spoke mostly about his book Making Peace, an account of his role in the negotiations that led to Ireland’s Good Friday Agreement in 1998. Mitchell’s talk is available online. Fortunately C-SPAN’s Book TV recorded it. It’s long, but worth listening to, and the…

I'm Not Going to Space
I'm Not Going to Space. And I'm OK with that.
I grew up with the space program, literally. According to my Mom’s account, she put me down for a nap so she could watch Alan Shepard make America’s first spaceflight. By the time John Glenn made the first full orbit in a NASA spacecraft, she had mastered the art of being a space fan and a Mom: She held my baby brother in her lap and gave him a bottle, while I nestled at her side on the couch…

Whilst practicing solar distancing, Parker Solar Probe caught this rare glimpse of the twin tails on comet NEOWISE.☄
The twin tails are seen more clearly in this WISPR instrument processed image, which increased contrast and removed excess brightness from scattered sunlight, revealing more de-“tails”. C/2020 F3 NEOWISE was discovered by our Near-Earth Object Wide-field Infrared Survey Explorer (NEOWISE), on March 27. Since it’s discovery the comet has been spotted by several NASA spacecraft, including Parker Solar Probe, NASA’s Solar and Terrestrial Relations Observatory, the ESA/NASA Solar and Heliospheric Observatory, and astronauts aboard the International Space Station.

Americans have mixed views about whether K-12 schools in their area should offer in-person instruction, online instruction or a combination of both as the coronavirus outbreak intensifies across much of the country. And while the public sees health risks to students and teachers as the top factor that should be given a lot of consideration as schools decide whether to reopen, there are wide partisan gaps in these views, according to a new survey.
Read more in our blog post: Republicans, Democrats differ over factors K-12 schools should consider in deciding whether to reopen
Surprising results, especially regarding economic and minority ethnic opinions.
Ghost Bikes and the Value of Human Life
Ghost Bikes and the Value of Human Life
One year ago today I attended the dedication of a ghost bike honoring Alex Cordero, a seventeen-year-old who was killed when his bicycle was struck by a tow truck. I had seen ghost bikes before, and even helped maintain a couple by clearing weeds and touching up the paint, but this was the first time I’d attended a dedication. Alex was the sixteenth cyclist killedin New York City last year;…

On the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day
On the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day
My Girl Scout troop did a beach clean-up on Earth Day.
“What year?” some of you will ask. But that’s my point: it was the first year and we didn’t really think about whether there would be another.
With the 50th anniversary approaching, I decided that I would mark the day, in part, by taking a walk to that same beach. As it turned out, COVID-19 means New York City is “hibernating” (as I’ve…
