New York City stacks ambition vertically.

From Jersey, you can’t even see it all without turning your body. Thousands of high-rises. Centuries of history. Density as design.

Engineering. Energy. Scale.

The skyline still earns its reputation.

Night engineer at work.

Spotted orb-weaver (Neoscona crucifera) centered in her freshly spun web — radial lines under tension, spiral threads catching porch-light insects.

At Franklin & Locust, slate and limestone do all the talking.
Franklin Street UMC’s stark white-trimmed spire cuts the sky while the warm stone sanctuary holds the corner with quiet authority.

Say You Want a REVOLUTION!

No you don't.

If you can’t grow food, manage water, fix shelter, maintain systems, or coordinate people — you’re not calling for change.

You’re volunteering someone else to suffer for your frustration.

Compass Plant (Silphium laciniatum) — a prairie compass that doesn’t need a map.

Leaves often align north–south, reducing heat load under high summer sun. Deep taproot. Built for drought. Built for wind. Built for time.

Signal and Static:
In one lifetime we went from console TVs signing off at midnight to smartphones that hold the planet in our hands.

50 years. Analog static to global networks.

Brick. Stone. Iron.
The Judge Cyrus Ball House (Ball Mansion), Lafayette, IN — 1869 Second Empire confidence rising from Ninth Street Hill.
Architecture as reputation. Permanence in red brick.

A small daylily — but what presence.

Hemerocallis fulva ‘Kwanso’: a double blaze of orange, resilient, dependable, nearly indestructible.

Proof that beauty doesn’t need permanence to leave its mark.

Owls don’t hoot for applause.
They calculate in silence.
Asymmetrical ears.
Facial disk like a satellite dish.
Strike accuracy in total darkness.

Mensa? Please.
This is Barn Owl tier intelligence.
Respect the night shift. 🦉

Organization isn’t anger.
It’s architecture.
One worker bends.
A unit holds.

Struggles shrink when we carry them together.
Do it the Wright way.

Georg has a non chalant look in the eye.

Neal Katyal showed a way people can be fighting back right now. Are any attorneys filing suit for the various civil offenses and criminal actions by this administration?

Weird things about me volume 6,241:

As some of you know but more will be surprised to know, I have always LOVED bluegrass gospel.

Anyway I ran across this band call The Primitive Quartet. There are six people in this band. Are they liars or are they more primitive than counting?

You have a couple of choice blooms there. I am a little jelly.

Pritzker just created his messaging carrier wave for a Presidential campaign. I am not saying he is the one, I am saying that this is a strong message.

We optimized our economy for “efficiency.”

Sun Tzu optimized for survival.

One shock. One port. One factory. One storm — and the shelves thin out.

This isn’t bad luck. It’s design.

Supply lines decide civilizations.

Art shouldn’t live in boxes.

Miss Ordinary went to the museum and came back with a question we can’t ignore:

If beauty exists to be seen, why do we hide most of it?

A domed shell. A hinged plastron. Fifty years of persistence.

The Eastern Box Turtle isn’t just “cute.” It’s a woodland anchor species — and a better swimmer than most people think.

Habitat matters. Roads matter. You matter.

Johnstown is building forward.

Room. Infrastructure. Talent. Landscape.

Orbit access to major corridors without the coastal burn rate.

We moved here with intent.

If knowledge can be owned, it can be rationed.
If it can be rationed, it can be weaponized.
Open isn’t anti-capitalist.
Closed is anti-human.

Do we even believe in RIGHTS anymore?
Or do we only believe in permissions granted until they become inconvenient?
Some questions never stop being urgent.

Forget-me-nots don’t take over a landscape.

They return to the edges — water, mud, transition zones — and wait.

Small blue flowers. Persistent memory.

Delicate beauty.

Beautiful flower. Beautiful photograph. Double plus good. Thank you for doing what you do.

We don't talk about lived experience enough.

If a stream can support a dusky salamander, something is going right.

Small creatures tell big truths — you just have to look close enough.

Semaphore flags, hand signals, and “whatever works.”

The joke lands because the science does too: pack hunters coordinate constantly — usually without making a sound we notice.
