End of the school year, exhausted but grateful. I don’t get to teach kids as often as I used to because it barely pays the bills sadly, but it’s my favorite. The kids keep me grounded, honest, and inspired. #educator #summerbreak #environmentaleducation #outdooreducation

Where are your virtues? Waiting for a signal. 📶🏳️‍⚧️ Like “woke”, this phrase has been co-opted as an anti-progressive slur. That caring about other people is always performative, and not genuine empathy. I’m always going to push back on that. #transrights #immigrantrights #humanrights

✨ D I V E R S I T Y ✨ Love you LA, stand strong.

Share this with the men and boys in your life that could use the affirmation. I struggle with this all myself which is why I’m putting this out there. This is my own affirmation to keep myself honest. #mensmentalhealthawareness #mentalhealthawarenessmonth #gayman #mentalhealth

Queer ecology isn’t just gay animals! 🌈🐻🌱 Join me on a walk this #pridemonth for the deep dive. Link to all SIX queer ecology walks coming up in the thread, or check my *link in bio*. #queerecology #lgbtq #queer #gaypride #lgbtpride

Of course the native people knew the best place to found a city in SoCal, of course! 💚 Any other indigenous Tongvangaar place namesl I missed? Educate us! I’m an educator but I prefer being a student. 🤓 #losangeles #lahistory #youareonnativeland #tongva #dtla #lariver

1,600 native #bee species in California 🌸🐝 and *none* of them are the honey bee most of us are used to seeing. Why tho? #savethebees These are native California digger bees that have a strong preference the native hubby’s phacelia wildflowers in my yard. #nativeplants Thats because…

This Thursday, 5/29! Also 6/10 (which is almost sold out). RSVP link in thread. Maybe I’ll add more since these are popular! Stay tuned. 💖

Thoughts? Let’s tawk ⬇️ I don’t usually do “trending” content, but this is such a great way to express a bunch of ideas that I think about a lot as an outdoor and online environmental educator. All topics I’ve either made videos about or thought about making. Curious to hear what you all think! 💚

This is a marathon, not a spirit ✊⛰️🌈 I love you nature community and let’s celebrate the (small) victories, but keep on it. Keep ON THEM! Because they’re still trying to sell off public land in a 100 other ways. #resist

They’re selling our future so the rich get richer. Time for us ALL to STAND UP! ✊ #resist Check out the @5calls page/app/website to help you contact your elected officials and tell them we’re not going to allow this.

Jacaranda trees, love em or hate em? 🤷🏼‍♀️ You know I’m always about dismantling the false binary of black and white realities. In this case can we have 50 shades of purple? #jacaranda #treesofla #socal #purple

FUND PUBLIC TRANSIT! It’s really that simple. Flying taxis are not it. #publictransport #publictransportation #publictransit #olympics #la28 #losangeles #california

Glowworms are real! Event link in thread🔦🐛 I’m guiding two more hikes looking for the California Pink Glowworm in Los Angeles! We also usually see western toads 🐸 great horned owls 🦉 and bats 🦇. Come learn about our local (natural) nightlife! #nighthike #glowworm #firefly #griffithpark #losangeles

🌈 queer ecology is #science! 🔬 it isn’t some radical woke agenda to gay up nature ✊🏼 Share with your friend who could use an affirmation. Share with your other friend who could use the lesson. #queer #ecology #queerecology #rainbow #gay #lgbtq #lgbt #botany #wildlife #smashthepatriarchy

Attn Los Angeles! 🥗 LAST foraging event of the season! ❗️Benefiting the environmental advocacy work of @sierraclub.org Angeles Chapter 💚 What do you get? See thread ⬇️ Last chance until next winter/rainy season! #foraging #losangeles #elysianpark #lahikes #nativeplants #forage

A big beach city that isn’t at the beach? Thanks LA RIVER! 🏝️ LA is unique in many ways, and this is one of them. Downtown is inland thanks to the Los Angeles River, the original water source to the Pueblo of LA. #lariver #losangeles #losangelesriver #lastatehistoricpark #waterislife

10 years ago today…Zion National Park. My first time in the red rock landscape southwest, otherworldly to my California granite/oak/beach pilled brain. Now I’ve seen it so many times that it could almost seem normal. That’s when you start to lose the awe, the enchantment. THREAD 🧵 #journeyman👣

Fun fact: Biden allocated the only disaster aid we’ve received (the FEMA assistance direct to the people impacted). Trump has done next to nothing except show up for photo ops and spread misinformation. #lafires #losangeles #wildfire #palisadesfire #eatonfire #pacificpalisades #altadena

10 years ago today I quit my job and set off on a solo nature road trip, to rediscover my connection to the outdoors and hopefully figure out how to work outside instead of in an office. 💚 Someone commented on a post calling me “Jason the Journeyman”. The rest is history. #zion #journeyman👣

Native plants are SEXY 😎💚 @ Sunnynook River Park at the #lariver #NATIVEPLANTS #wildflowers #californianativeplants
