Bluesky friends I’m just checking in to say I did my first 1000’ hike in the white mountains since I got long Covid and felt like a million bucks the whole time

Nice day monitoring The Woods

More work stuff

Monday fit before we all decided to wfh

i can’t stand to learn any more about this marty supreme film than i already have. every day i log on and the algorithm shows some new tidbit like Chalamet Trained At Ping Pong for Six Years for Marty Supreme. enough

sometimes i’ll post about covid and the realities of seeing the vulnerable and true reality of late capitalist human wreckage and get crickets, and then see academics engaged in deep discourse about, like, if reading novels is Good, and i think, man we’re simply not ready

really can’t recommend enough just going down to florida for a little while and getting a little weird with it when your life falls apart. unbutton your shirt and park it under some palm trees in a crappy apartment watching birds and gators until things make sense again

small creek iced over and trickling over rocks in the snowy woods

tree bark on the bed of the creek seen through the crystal clear water and ice

old winter twig and a flowerlike tulip poplar bud poking through the deep soft snow

animal tracks circling through the bare winter trees in the snow

love the woods love rambling around

trees in a snowy forest on rugged hilly terrain

winter trees atop a ledge overlooking a forested valley covered in snow

tall bare hardwood trees leading uphill through snowy woods with a snowshoe track leading up the trail

selfie of me looking dour but actually euphoric to be in the woods

i’m hiking wherever i damn please in the woods more or less. i’m rambling all over hill and dale going way over yonder. my only limit is decinditioning from two years with long covid but my body can handle it again. folks lfg

merry christmas my dudes

just accepted a dream job with a great land trust in maine. it's been a long road since i lost my livelihood to long covid two years ago. north woods i'll be home soon

you are correct here and i believe i am in agreement with foster. unfortunately i cannot stand the guy's writing. i can only stomach so many mentions of marx's thesis on epicurianism. i want to ask him about fire management policy while banning him from saying marx or epicurianism

❤️

ah but you see these people were blinded by reification and whatever. these god damn bullshitters man. alright i gotta log off for real

by 1923 we had 18 national parks and about 50 years of public debate in the US about industrial robber-baron destruction of the environment, including from socialists like bob marshall!

more adventures in critical theory

"Lukacs himself does not consider the implications of his theory for... the problem of the environment. It would of course be too much to ask of him in 1923 to come up with an environmental ethic."

...why? others did much earlier

it's all fun and games until climate deniers take your arguments seriously and hire one of your most well-known researchers to launder denialism at the breakthrough institute

officially taking a break from social media. unofficially i'm reading deep into science and technology studies, critical theory, constructivism, latour, steve fuller, the ontological turn, etc., and thinking, man what a load of horseshit

been doing a lot of research about ADA laws for backcountry mobility aids and i'm sad to say that allowing able-bodied people onto the trails will only ruin the experience for the rest of us. the hard truth is that we, the disabled community, must exclude them until better systems are in place

🙏

love kettlebells, still working up to them but once in a while they're great

wow that's a great choice i'll keep that one in my pocket for next time

"the mary ellen carter" by stan rogers helped save the life of a sailor shipwrecked off the atlantic coast of maryland when he started singing it while clinging to a half-swamped lifeboat in freezing water until the coast guard arrived in the morning

when i was so sick i couldn't walk a quarter mile i used to sing to myself "there will come a leg day hallelujah what a leg day". folks there has come a leg day hallelujah what a leg day

let's do squats tonight
you can help me fix my POTS tonight

hell yeah!

Plants and Wildlife The Park is home to a variety of plants and wildlife. • Trees and shrubs • Other plants • Birds - pending • Other animals - pending

that's that east coast excellence and obsession baby

another reason florida is cool is that it's the home of more world surfing champions than anywhere else. kind of like with east coast skiing the bad waves make good surfers

red and white striped longboard surfboard in my apartment

facebook marketplace find for some bucket list stuff. pray for me
