Admiring this mid-city tree, I recalled the time that Frederiksberg Council made it policy that every home in the council's area 'must have view of at least 1 tree'. Such a real, realistic, simple, nice local action.
Meet Sablan Pascale, a Black woman #Architect trying to change the face of #architecture : NPR https://www.npr.org/2023/03/12/1160836191/black-african-american-architects-architecture
>Sablan Pascale was told she'd never become an architect because she's Black and a woman. Now she works for one of the world's top firms and she wants more people who look like her to join the field.
Let's be crystal clear: this was a bank run directed by one group of venture capitalists, which left another group of venture capitalists holding the bag. The latter is vocally demanding that taxpayers "make them whole" which translates into: paying out their profits after taking on unmitigated risk.
Sadly, this investment for Long COVID is needed because public health and governments chose not to acknowledge that COVID is airborne so the proper measures were not put in place to protect the public. The infrastructure wasn't upgraded over the past 3 years of the pandemic to provide clean air for everyone (like we expect to have safe clean drinking water, https://thetyee.ca/Analysis/2023/01/11/Revolution-Clean-Indoor-Air/). 8/

This terrific photo was taken by my grandfather around 1935. It shows my mother and her brother, with a small owl.
They often shared their home with injured wild birds that were being rehabilitated by their father. Mergansers or storks in the bathtub where not unusual.
Those birds that didn't survive were stuffed, used in teaching, and for many years afterwards were on display in the local museum.
I don't know the fate of this owl, but most survived & were released. #bird #birding #owl

1of4 - Save the trees! Who would have thought of that; a private SPA on our PUBLIC waterfront?
