Sad to hear of the loss of Anuradha Mather. A huge loss for the landscape architecture community. RIP🙏

There's something deeply fucked about a country where the political consensus is that climate action and a Green New Deal are too expensive but it's perfectly acceptable to treat the entire Gulf South as a sacrifice zone and shrug one's shoulders while Philly and New York drown.

The TX House just passed a bill allowing permitless carry of firearms.

Voting: Mail ballot obstacles. No drive-thru voting. You can be video recorded by partisan “poll watchers” inside the poll.

Guns: Pick up a gun and carry it. Anywhere, anytime, pretty much anyone.

Also thinking about the United States’ colonial, extractive, harmful approach to water and wetlands. Hydrologies reflect world orders. We live-now in a capital-hydrology. Is a different hydrology possible without a different politic/economy?

[Adam Scott @__adamscott]

Water is really interesting. Thinking that it essentially reflects and responds to most things that we do. Water tells the truth and foreshadows...

The final chapter of so many scholarly books on the horrors of capitalist modernity where the author floats a few modest policy recommendations...

@POTUS We need to work to help the entire global community get vaccinated- until that happens we won’t be out of the woods.

@christofspieler @JooBilly “Improvement” concept ☹️

Is zoom a new frontier in the commodification of discourse?

A good part of the country is currently in a historic and dangerous deep freeze. Wondering why? Check out this ENSO Blog post from January interviewing experts about a sudden warming of the stratosphere and a disruption to the polar vortex.
