This is like the infrastructure version of that scene with the dragons.

So far my favorite thing about 2023 has been how calm the Hudson River was this afternoon.

Somehow convinced myself to get up Very Early on a frosty Sunday morning to participate in a 13.1 mile race around Central Park :) #RunningIndustrialComplex

You can’t go wrong with cherry blossoms, but it’s also peak *magnolia* season at the New York Botanical Garden :)

I have two mind-bending recommendations this week: 1) go see the azaleas in the heather gardens at Fort Tryon Park, and 2) read 'Brother & Sister Enter the Forest' by Richard Mirabella🦌. matthewgallaway.com/2023/04/042920…

Ladybug in the campanula :)

For anyone wondering, it’s still dahlia season at Wave Hill :)

Beyond thrilled to share that my first book, "The Privacy Fallacy: Harm and Power in the Information Economy" is now in production with Cambridge University Press. In a world where data is the lifeblood of the economy, figuring out how to protect people from data harms is paramount 1/

For my The New Yorker debut, I wrote an essay about Robert Glück, mourning on the page, and the best book I read last year newyorker.com/books/page-tur…

One of my goals for this year was to spend more time in ferneries, and yesterday I took a big step in the right direction.

The Philadelphia Flower Show is filled with mind-bending plants and flowers and with 250,000 attendees is a good example of why cities everywhere should deprioritize corporate subsidies for sporting events and instead promote the horticultural arts and green/urban spaces. #ferns

Tragically, my psycho neighbor broke the law (and my heart) by invading our garden and mutilating our dawn redwood. If anyone is or knows a NYC tree-friendly lawyer interested in being hired to pursue a ‘timber trespass’ please get in touch!

I finally took the obligatory unboxing pic, so here is the official announcement: I’m so happy to share that my book, Reviving Rural America: Toward Policies for Resilience, has been published! It’s available as an ebook, paperback, or hardcover.
