Hi there, it’s Ryan Busse.
I’ve spent my life protecting public lands.
I’ve hunted them, hiked them, raised my kids on them.
And now, I’m watching a MAGA-backed billionaire wrecking crew try to sell them off.

The text I have conveys the •meaning• of the diagram, and it’s better than nothing:
❝Three different trees showing possible interpretations of 1000 - 100 - 10 - 1. In the first tree, subtraction happens from left to right. In the second tree, it happens from right to left. In the third tree, we first compute 1000 minus 100, then 10 minus 1, then subtract those two results.❞
That’s probably the best I can do in the current format. But if there were a way to make convey more of the spatial sense, I’d do it!
