Weather Report from the American Southwest. We must vote for climate-eyed candidates from school boards to county commissioners to local, state, and national Elections from the President of the United States down. Anything less is unacceptable. . There is no more waiting or patience here. As Bruno Latour says, “ We are all living in “Critical Zones.”
In some parts of the world, monsoons can mean endless rain for months. But in the American Southwest, it’s kind of just been hopping all over the place. buff.ly/3XS6Gop

“This is the true joy in life, the being used for a purpose recognized by yourself as a mighty one; the being thoroughly worn out before you are thrown on the scrap heap; the being a force of Nature instead of a feverish selfish little clod of ailments and grievances complaining that the world will not devote itself to making you happy.”
— George Bernard Shaw

“My parents rang the bells of civil rights, endless meals with close friends, a heart for underdogs (such a beautiful bell), and this passionate love of the outdoors, which has saved me thousands of times over the years.” ~@ANNELAMOTT

For the @nytimes (!) I wrote about those WPA-style national park posters you know and love—specifically, how the originals were dumped or forgotten, before a park ranger/backcountry dentist found one while cleaning a barn and decided to hunt down the rest nytimes.com/2020/08/25/style…

Here are some guidelines I think might be more useful.
WRITE WHEN YOU CAN
DO YOUR BEST
TRY NEW THINGS
ALWAYS BE LEARNING
WHEN YOU FUCK UP, BUILD FROM IT
RESPECT YOUR VOICE
BE TRUE TO YOUR EXPERIENCE
ADMIRE, DON’T IMITATE
ABSORB EVERYTHING, STORIES ARE EVERYWHERE
