We caught a few other native plants that are blooming now: wood anemones, northern spicebush and bloodroot. There were also trilliums that have buds but are not yet blooming, and the solomon's seal was just unfurling.
I made sure to get out to Alley Pond Park in Queens yesterday to catch peak blooming of the glorious trout lilies! I love trout lilies. These are American trout lilies (Erythronium americanum) They are native to most of the eastern halves of the US and Canada, although other species in this genus are found throughout North America. They attract many types of native bees and other insects. We did see some bees, but not as many as I would have liked.
Graduate student worker strike at Queen's nears 1-month mark as exams begin
The university says it expects final letter grades to be assigned in the majority of cases, but that may not be possible in some instances. The union representing teaching assistants is raising concerns about what that will mean for students.

From the neighborhood Shanghainese place, a very not Shanghainese dish. Very nice peppery-numbing heat, really reminds me of some Sichuanese dishes I like.
Their Shanghainese dishes are solid too. We love that place.
Had a great turn out for today's event at CUNY York College. Hoping someone shares pictures of participants in action with me because I can never take photos while making paper with people.
We made casts from 2 sections of the sculpture. I think people enjoyed it and appreciated the sculpture in a new way!

This week I reviewed a recommendation from @huertanix - and it was worth it!
9/10, our second-ever complete score. It'll be re-reviewed in the future for consistency to see if it can earn a 10/10.
This goes with the last one. Another from Long Island City. #Photography #Scape #Cityscape #UrbanLandscape #EastCoastKin #NYC #Queens

I'd like to learn to darn a sock - just saw a video https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=DOmm8HL5fwY about how to make a patch using a Speedweve Style Mending Loom and that seems fun. I'd like to try it out before I buy a bunch of stuff. Anyone in #Queens #NYC have one and interested in letting me try theirs out? Or maybe I could check whether one of the NYC makerspaces has one I could try.

Adding the finishing touches on our new JHI banner so we can march in the St. Pat’s for All parade today at 1pm #sunnyside #woodside #queens #irish #lgbtq+ #pride #inclusion #jhi
One more from Fort Tilden: the remains of Battery Harris East, an old World War II artillery installation. This will be the only one it's fair to tag as #Urbex and #UrbanExploration. #Photography #Abandoned #BlueSkyArtShow #EastCoastKin #NYC #Queens
