Haley, is there no one in your life who has told you to stop doing this? To stop being like this?

I’m talking about not covering every square inch in asphalt and strip malls until you can’t remember what happens when you stand in a meadow at dusk. What happens in a meadow at dusk? Everything. Nothing. Everything. Nothing.

Ahh this is so cool!! One of the plovers Ryan found was born at Leelanau State Park where I have been seeing these special birds since I was a little kid—they were gone for many years of high water but now they are back again and nesting successfully

this is great. but i think this one is still my favorite

Oh. I see.

was thinking that maybe finally i would get a beach day this weekend and, lol solidarity to the first nations losing their homes in northern ontario, i hope this ends soon, for all our sakes

Butterflies are showing up too.

It’s true! I grow native plants on my Chicago balcony and I get visitors like this absolutely pollen-drunk bumblebee all summer

there is a LOT of room in there

I think this quote from the NYT is missing the most common Israeli government reaction to settler violence: enthusiastic, effusive support in word, deed, and funds

I feel like I’m taking crazy pills. Grand Rapids isn’t unmapped!! Their FIRMs have an effective date of 2023!

Remember toppling parties? We should bring those back

ja hoor my criticisms are also mostly with the coaches. posted this on IG and my cousins were like “you’re right!”

Yeah this was the year I finally got a real shirt instead of just wearing orange. So much for that!

thinking about my yellow room in my old house. with my old dog.

this reminds me of the time i accidentally ordered like $100 worth of grilled prawns in singapore. they were so ungodly large

Enjoy (and prep) now because next week is going to be difficult

I have gotten really into native plants and I am a balcony container gardener by circumstance, so I grow native perennials as kind of a long running experiment. This is Year 3. I have two volunteers in this pot and IDed them as Canada Goldenrod and New England Aster. I’m super excited

reporting live from the park

Hell yeah man it reminds me of the Leviathan in the Orpheus parade

Vamos Beisbolcats

Mods are asleep post Chicago trees

We’ve got those

@hollyanderson.bsky.social went and got the bay laurel today

I love this photo of @panarmstrong.bsky.social and his lifelong Georgia friend at the Riverwalk last summer because a lot of people would never guess this is in Chicago.

i was like, why are yall hot and it’s fine here? and then… oh right

Logging back off and thinking instead about how Spirited Away’s music is like nothing I’ve ever heard and makes me feel feelings

Today is one of my favorite Saturdays of the year. Balcony season opening weekend! This year I’m doing natives in the hanging baskets in addition to my pots full of natives

Getting in … fashionably? late on the Charitibundi bowl this year (every great team needs fresh legs off the bench) but I searched my feelings and found this for today @hollyanderson.bsky.social @edsbs.bsky.social
