A traumatized lanternfly speaks its truth

This past week, I had the privilege of interviewing one of Vassar’s most vulnerable: the spotted lanternfly. The bugs first arrived in the United States around 2014 and have kept their status as an invasive species since due to their, as one Facebook group puts it, “sex-crazed” ability to repopulate. However, since their arrival to campus in 2021, students have put it upon themselves to single-handedly exterminate them from Arlington. Possible reasons why lanternfly annihilation has become Vassar student’s latest pastime range from attempts at being environmentally conscious to taking their rage out in the bugs after failing their Intro to Clowning midterm.

Bull Hill (Mount Taurus) Hike in Cold Spring: An Easy Quarry Trail and a Fall Walking Meditation in the Hudson Valley

Bull Hill rises directly above the village of Cold Spring, and every weekend the Metro-North platform below it fills with people carrying backpacks, trail snacks and the bright expression of New Yorkers who have decided that today they are outdoorsy. Most of them are headed for the summit of Mount Taurus, the mountain’s other name and its more glamorous one. I came for the first half mile. On a clear November afternoon I walked the Washburn Trail up to the abandoned quarry at the foot of the mountain, a small and easy Hudson Valley hike that delivers a golden meadow, a wall of ancient rock and enough stillness to rearrange an entire week.

How to Grow a Christmas Rose (Hellebore) in New York for Blooms in Deep Winter

Some flowers can push open right through a layer of snow, and the white petals hang on for weeks without fuss. Funny thing is, those petals are not really petals at all. They are tough sepals, built to last through frost and thaw. The plant is not even a true rose, since it belongs to the buttercup family. It also carries a long history in old European cottage gardens.

Billy Joel at Home: 10 Photos of the Piano Man Through the Decades

For Billy Joel, New York is more than just a place. It’s an inextricable part of what makes the singer who he is. “My speech patterns are New York. The music that I like, it was all New York–based.
