It's our 2nd year of turning the backyard into a wildflower and insect oasis. It has vastly surpassed our expectations. I'm sharing this to encourage others to follow suit--it's such a fun, easy, and unknown solution to the question of how to replace a muddy, gloomy lawn.

I don’t know how long I’ll stay on Bluesky. I like it better than TwitX but in general I want less, not more, social media in my life—because life is so brief. We’re almost halfway through 2025. Time is precious. I want to use it meaningfully.

Nepal: conflict victims reject perpetrator led political appointment to the #transitionaljustice bodies, and call for a boycott. The selection was arbitrary, untrustworthy, and disrespectful. Immediate review to correct flawed process is a must. INOVAS nepalitimes.com/here-now/remem…

This is on tomorrow—Andri Magnason & I talk about how we approached the task of writing a memorial to the Yala glacier in Langtang, knowing that our words will (quite literally) be carved in stone in a granite plaque designed to outlast us. I’ll post the link once it’s aired.

What does a special ceremony for a glacier sound like? @andrimagnason and Manjushree Thapa bring questions, the cosmos and the imagination - they're @imcmillan 's guests on @r4theverb , and on @bbcsounds bbc.co.uk/programmes/m00…

I think about this poem almost daily. Khaled Juma wrote it in 2014 during Israel's bombardment of Gaza in Operation Protective Edge.

Every now and then I read the news from Nepal and think, oh, wasn’t she the first woman president of Nepal who opposed equal citizenship rights for Nepali women?

If you haven’t had a chance to watch ⁦Subina Shrestha’s very important documentary Devi, about the quest for justice for women who were subjected to sexual violence during the Maoist conflict in Nepal, you can watch it on demand now. ⁩ vimeo.com/ondemand/devit…

Friends: in English, is it Newa or Newah? What does the community prefer? I see both used and don't know if there are implications to using one over the other. Any advice for this Nepal-bhasa illiterate? 🙏
