i like it here.









storyteller, mentor, visual learner, beta lover, realistic optimist. boston is home. new york is on the radar. prefer to live in lowercase. a typical day: music. morning run along the river. yoga shapes on an orange mat. green tea. sometimes chai. hot shower. work for a vc firm. send voice notes. rarely listen to voice mail. there's a difference. stay up too late. wake up too early. most days i like it here. liking is a choice. connect dots. keep moving.

no one knows why they do it. yet each fall, thousands of starlings dance in the twilight above gretna, scotland. the birds gather in magical shape-shifting flocks called murmurations, having migrated in the millions from russia and scandinavia to escape winter’s bite. scientists aren’t sure how they do it, either. even complex algorithmic models haven’t yet explained the starlings’ acrobatics, which rely on the tiny bird’s quicksilver reaction time of under 100 milliseconds to avoid aerial collisions—and predators—in the giant flock. - murmurations: spectacular starlings signal winter is on its way | via pocketmonsterd
