@nichecanada.bsky.socialICYMI:
“It’s in all these spots that you just want to be you and be understood, where the scariest thing happening is the mountain you are climbing, not the people you are with.” - Rain Scott
@nichecanada.bsky.social"There’s attempts to think about whether we can use right-of-ways as places that we can create pollinator corridors so that the monarchs can move through these industrial agricultural spaces." - Will Wright

@leafyhistory.bsky.socialNew interview out with me on the New Books Network! I'm on ep 1525 of the 'New Books in Environmental Studies' series! 😻
