Tis the season of bird irruptions. I interviewed Jeff Wells, vp for boreal conservation at the National Audubon Society, on this natural phenomenon. It turned into a nice primer on the topic. https://t.co/7wo9jytS8F #birding #NationalAudubonSociety #borealforest #conservation

@JimmyPatronis I was on a train in a tunnel beneath the Hudson River on my way to nyc w/many other passengers when the alert sounded. No one was ‘scared’ or panicked bc we knew what was happening. Get real.

@wander_wealth I’ve stopped ordering wine by the glass in the US. The quality is terrible. Even in NYC it’s a crapshoot. Beer is a safer, cheaper bet.

All across Iceland, you see reminders of how tight-knit the local community is.

At this Reykjavík playground, instead of swinging on parallel tracks in individual worlds, kids swing into the center and then out again, like a laughing squeeze box of neighborhood joy.

[Monica Cardoza @probablyoutside]

Not sure how I feel about this.
