The people in the neighborhood wanted a bridge over the creek. The city had no funding for #PedestrianInfrastructure for something like that. But they did get an #art grant, so they hired an artist to create an art installation that would span the creek that people could walk on. I frequently walk my dogs along this creek and yes, over the bridge sometimes.

I got to be sprawled over by my friend's kitten today. She is so soft and has a thoroughly scritchable tiny little belly. It was a very zen moment for me...Maple was still too feral for such things at that age.

It was an embarrassingly poor response by SB, especially her attempt to hand the question over to her colleagues.
It was an excellent question and very well framed. One which should be asked more often in order to highlight the ridiculousness of the current narrative about "illegal immigrants".

So, an intro:

I'm an author who writes about how both nature & time spent creatively improves mental health, a molecular cell biologist & brain chemistry nerd, naturalist (especially plants and birds),
I run creative workshops (see link in bio) and use scientifically proven research to make photos that can alleviate anxiety and lift mood:

Ah, wonderful....the cold has entered the 'wake you up at 2am coughing fit' stage. How marvellous. Hot honey, lemon and ginger with a feline hot water bottle on the sofa it is then.
