'Why are you pouring water over your head?' asked Frog.

'I hope that if I pour water over my head, it will help me to think of a story,' said Toad.

[Frog and Toad Bot @FrogandToadbot]

Toad ran to Frog's house. ‘Frog, Frog,’ cried Toad, ‘taste these cookies that I have made.’

@rosswhite Mark Baumer

[Oliver Strand @railroadbridge]

Today I got yelled at by a pedestrian, from the sidewalk, because I stopped my car to let him cross in the crosswalk ... he had a green light and the right of way!! Why was he so mad at me??

This is for sure the most Boston thing I have ever experienced.

Mark Baumer left earth four years ago today, after getting killed by the negligent driver of a car while walking across America barefoot to raise awareness about climate change. Here is a bit from the introduction I just wrote to his Selected Works, forthcoming from Fence.
