Karma is something. It’s been exactly 35 years since five boys were arrested for things they did not do, then held for a vicious attack they did not commit. The evil thug who put out this 1989 ad against the five boys (now Exonerated Five) is NOW in a NYC courtroom ON TRIAL. #nyc #centralpark #exoneratedfive #Mastodon #BlackMastodon


Two people sit on a bench next to a fearless squirrel.

Probably my second best film photo of my 'career.'

OMG look who I met on my walk to the bus stop this morning! It’s a little brown snake or garter snake??(not venomous, small, gentle, native) Look at this amazing New Yorker! So cute. They were sunning on the sidewalk so I moved them to a warm hidden rock. I worry someone will kill it just for being a snake. Happily the school kids who stopped to watch were delighted if a little scared. This snake has made my day! #nyc #snake #Storeria


If you are in the Northeast US, you can do your part for citizen science and fill out the USGS "how it felt" survey to map the earthquake intensity: https://earthquake.usgs.gov/earthquakes/eventpage/at00sbh3yv/tellus

Yes, that was a sizeable #earthquake in the #NJ / #NYC area.

A 4.8 located near Lebanon, #NewJersey:

(My extensive West Coast experience tells me that with one that large, you'll probably have some smaller-but-noticeable aftershocks as well. However, I'm very much not a geoscientist, so I'd defer to their actual knowledge.)


On this #TransDayOfVisiblity, I want to specifically highlight Bernie Wagenblast.

She is one of the famous announcer voices for New York City's Metropolitan Transit Authority! (See video for demonstration)

From her wikipedia page: Bernie Wagenblast is a transportation journalist, radio personality and voice-over artist. She is the founder and editor of the Transportation Communications Newsletter. She also edits The AASHTO Daily Transportation Update, published by the American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials, and hosts AASHTO's ETAP Podcast and the ITE Talks Transportation podcast for the Institute of Transportation Engineers.

Trans folks putting the 'trans' in public transit!

The technology-loving mayor is seeking bids from tech companies around the globe, but he had #police demonstrate one system in which a red box appears on an iPad if there's a #weapon, and shows where it is.
