For 15 months, we've been hosting a monthly "sit spot" in Vancouver parks. Join us for the final sit spot of the year on Dec. 13th at 10 am for 30 mins of relaxation, then tea, reflections, and I'll drop some health science. Feel calm and refreshed. Join: https://t.co/I9DI17tOwf

If you ever find yourself lost in the Amazon, find a Ceiba pentandra (ceibo or kapok tree). This “world-tree that links earth and sky” often reaches 60m. Fede of the Cofán demonstrates how to signal for help. The giant buttresses also make for good shelter. #thicktrunktuesday

Biologists list 63 bears confirmed dead in 2025, up from 56 at this time in 2024, which was a record year. The rise comes as some politicians, including U.S. Rep. Harriet Hageman, push to reduce protections for the animals.

I am now the most banned author in the United States--87 books. May I suggest you pick up one of them and see what all the pissing & moaning is about? Self-righteous book banners don't always get to have their way. This is still America, dammit.

The Trump administration's decision to gut the Roadless Rule will open nearly 60 million acres of our national forests to destructive logging and degradation. We cannot let that happen.
