Architects, designers, planners: I'm looking for some good articles about what climate justice looks like in the design of the built environment. Thanks.

@sanjerina The Working Hands product. I just started using it and it's good.

@velveteenrabbi I'm so sorry - my thoughts and prayers for him.

@evelynmlee I'm notoriously late responding to emails, so much so that they've switched over to my husband.

@JennyBean1012 I've received a little bit of "Who built the Egyptian pyramids? Maybe aliens?"

Gardening folks - looking for advice on how to mitigate a mosquito-filled corner in our tiny backyard. Can it be done without applying pesticides? Thanks.

“1 microgram of formaldehyde in a cubic meter of air increases the number of myeloid leukemia cases by roughly 3.5 in 100,000 people”

@JesseWilliamD This is why I don't pull weeds until I'm 99.9% sure it's a maple seedling.

@StarfishKnits yikes!

I'm honored to have been one of the judges on the Triple Decker Challenge. I love how this competition brought forth innovative ideas that celebrated an iconic New England residential typology while striving to meet our 2050 goals. https://t.co/F0g2I2WRok

@imagineterrain Something that has surprised me - how often I've explained to people that many many homes do not have active ventilation.

I'd be interested in seeing the Eco Regions map placed over the River Basins map.

[The Decolonial Atlas @decolonialatlas]

It's been just a century since colonizers, with the stroke of a pen, partitioned the African continent knowing nothing of its peoples, its vast river systems, or its literally anything about the land.

While I bemoan the loss of opportunities for incidental learning by being in proximity to project teams in the office, I'm finding that I can catch useful information through virtual platforms (like Slack). The knowledge is there; we can be proactive in using the virtual tools.

Net zero buildings make sense. They are the direction we should go in. The #AEC industry has been stepping up to the plate, but we can't do it alone. We need legislation too.

Real estate developers are in @MassGovernor‘s ear telling him to veto the climate bill bc of one sentence that allows cities to move #beyondgas. “It’s time to set the record straight” says @MeredithElbaum of @BEplus. #mapoli https://t.co/5LpFUHk1mK

@ryannorris Oh dear....

@JennyBean1012 Have you heard the musical? The Cookies song is such a delight.

[Rachelle Ain, AIA @RachelleAin]

@velveteenrabbi In what ways? We recently had schedule change for longer blocks of synchronous time which has been hard on my 7-year old, though he's a champ. We're feel there's a pressure being exerted to get remote kids back to in-person school, which is not a risk we can currently carry.

@JennyBean1012 I knew it! I told Josh but he didn't believe me.

[Rachelle Ain, AIA @RachelleAin]

@Dedalvs Happy birthday!
