My Twitter is gone, so I might start posting here more often! Let me re-introduce myself. I study birds. In particular, I borrow insights from developmental systems theory and enactive cognition to explore how birds experience and construct their social environments. I'm also critical of genetic determinism in animal and human behavior.

@rlmcneary2 @futurebird You can still get a small slice of what pre-city manhattan would look like on south brother island today.

@futurebird @rlmcneary2 Yeah it’s north brothers forgotten cousin, you can go there with the harbor herons project from bird alliance NYC (former Audubon). But poison ivy is rampant.

@mattmcirvin @futurebird @gdupont @rlmcneary2 Yes and no. Sometimes it’s used as vacation rentals or they have caretakers living in them, but vacant lots are scarce. I participated in the squatting movement in alphabet city in the 90s-00s and if there were a lot of vacant buildings on thr island we would have mapped them. A lot has changed since that time though and I have not been living in the city.

@futurebird @mattmcirvin @gdupont @rlmcneary2 Yeah, most of the squats are now cooperatives that own the building-the umbrella house, c-squat. Kind of a nice success story in the otherwise bland financial vibe of broader Manhattan.
