MomWifeGrowerPhDCandidate in Geog,Planning&Design. Interrogating the cultural history of aridity, plants, equity & our infatuation with greenness. She/Her.
@GrmpyNaturalist Someday I'll teach a course that explores cultural constructions of human-ecological relationships using Disney's Bambi and Miyazaki's work as visual artifacts.
Congratulations to the brilliant Dr. @anna_bierbrauer for successfully defending her @cudenvercap dissertation today entitled "Erasing, Forgetting, and Recalling Aridity: Denver's Garden System, 1902-1980." 1/1
@creekthinker My kids are definitely the oldest/biggest riders I see around town...size definitely becomes a factor. And tween embarrassment? I'm a wiry 5'4" and balancing them now when at a standstill/start is a serious core/arm workout.
@creekthinker Takes more creativity to keep kids warm in the winter with a long-tail than a bucket but we've made it work (in Denver, easy compared to where we used to be in Mpls).

@creekthinker Kids are a mean age of 9. We just upgraded to Yuba Spicy Curry AT. Motor upgrade is great for the bigger kids, the range isn't as awesome. We've only ever had a long-tail and can definitely say the lower back wheel-base is key.
@GrmpyNaturalist Not specific projects but bou might like the work of Phyto Studio https://t.co/2dZQuOK9bb and Ellen Oettinger White https://t.co/BAfWJEbdjr
@AllenCowgill Agreed. Much preferred over Knox for N-S travels. Irving is way better than the Alameda crossover craziness. Just told my kids yesterday I had a few things to say to the bike lane folks ;)
@LukeRunyon Hmm...looks like a Mimosa Tree...the folded leaves are a tell. Didn't know it was in CO but it is Zone 6 so...https://t.co/1ykuvu4nQM https://t.co/YmsOF8xmFV
Retweeting this again. We have two openings in my department that close this week @sunyesf! One focused on #climatejustice and the other on #waterpolicy.
@deliberateless@benschumacher@ternbicycles@xtracycle Sorry, realized I didn't specify: Yuba Sweet Curry with an e-assist add-on. Love the low center of gravity in the back. Switched from an Xtracycle partially for that reason.
@deliberateless@benschumacher@ternbicycles@xtracycle I bike my petite 8yr + lrg 10yr old comfortably but it takes a good amount of strength to stabilize it at rest. Im wiry, 5'4. 10yr legs are getting a bit cramped but I think his tween embarrassment will stop him before his size. DM me if you want more!
