Color photograph looking down a tree-lined residential street at night. Trees on either side loom in the foreground, thickly leaved trees blotting out a glowing overcast sky, bathing the near part of the street in darkness, and in the distance a bright streetlight shines down on some garbage bins and against green leaves of trees that stretch out over it, making a small, bright pool of light, more darkness beyond. A few porch lights shine as you look down along either side of the street

Oak Park, Michigan, July 2025

Color photograph looking at a residential intersection at night. A streetlight shines from a corner and over the street, illuminating leaves on branches stretched out over the street over a gray sedan of some kind, a porch light illuminating a red door next to a picture window on the house behind the tree. Stretching up over the tops of the silhouettes of trees you can see red lights of a radio tower shining against a dimly glowing overcast sky

“The children are always ours, every single one of them, all over the globe; and I am beginning to suspect that whoever is incapable of recognizing this may be incapable of morality.”

Update on this story: WGA has cancelled the Writers Guild Awards, originally scheduled for March 8, due to the ongoing staff strike. WGA management walked away from the table earlier this week without a deal. Statement from WGSU below:

The trees can't speak for themselves, so we have to do it for them. Trees are the lungs of our planet, and to stand among them is to hear the universe breathing. I'm not religious but being in a redwood forest, watching the light sift through, is the closest I've ever been to a holy place.

You only have a short time to comment. They are trying to destroy our forests to enrich a few logging company executives and the politicians they’ve paid off.

Colman's looks are always perfection. I love how he embraces colors and details. He has FUN with what he's wearing and that makes a huge difference.

Color photo. We're looking out over a farm's barren winter landscape. At the horizon, the sun is rising and the low edge of the sky is peach, while most of the sky above it is still blueish. Across the top of the image, some electrical lines cross through. At mid-distance, the only real subject in the image is a home or barn. We're looking at the side facing away from the sunrise, so it is nearly pitch black, with detail hard to make out.

A bunch of pale yellow primroses and their green leaves against a background of dried leaves, twigs and rotted bark at the bottom of my London garden.

I’m usually away at this time of year, invariably missing the moment when the primroses start blooming at the bottom of the garden. It is difficult to think of a plant that carries the hope and freshness of spring the way a primrose does. Worth staying home for.

Great post and playlist. If you haven't read "Love Goes to Buildings on Fire" by @willhermes.bsky.social, go do it now. It's an amazing primer on music, history and culture and is SO much fun to read. I think I finished it in a weekend while also rabidly tracking down the music mentioned in it.

Duke Humfrey's Library, 8.30am

A knot of driftwood stands upright on the beach backed by mist and low frothy waves. An arc of silver set against the gray-blue mist forms a fogbow. The surface of the weathered wood is smooth but cracked in places, and there's an asymmetrical hole at the top that shows through to the sky. A sand dollar shell is wedged at the bottom of that gap. Below it, hanging by rope wrapped around the girth of the totem, is a rusty 5-pointed star. A variety of smooth rocks are laid out on the wet sand. Among them are a green shard of glass, an ivory conch shell, and a white feather.

When I think of Nauset beach, I am reminded of early mornings walking the sands wrapped in dense fog. One late afternoon, however, a fog rolled in slowly off the ocean, something I had never experienced outside of Northern California. 1/2

"It’s pretty rewarding to do that four-record thing and to see some people who are there for each show. You feel as though you haven’t wasted your life, and you have some range."

Imagine the people who just stumble upon this, not knowing that it would be there. I wonder what they thought in that moment. It must be so memorable!

Miguel Antonio Horn’s “ContraFuerte” is one of my favorite works of public art in Philadelphia. You can find it at 12th and Cuthbert Streets!

As someone who was once victimized: thank you for being brave and for raising your voice.

Really appreciate you posting this. Gut instincts are rarely wrong and I'm glad you listened to yours.
