Beyond excited to return to the hallowed grounds and talk about Oregon's outdoors! See you there!
Ian is as funny as he is thoughtful—which is to say: Very! I can't wait to see how these perspectives play off each other, and selfishly: As a big guy myself, this subject is near and dear to my heart.

NEW PODCAST: This was a fun one! Guidebook pal @wastro and I talked about our favorite outdoor adventures paired with places to eat/drink.
We picked some obvious ones like Cowboy Tree, Terminal Gravity, a few seafood spots. Others might surprise you: tinyurl.com/59snvr2r
It was a real honor to be written up in @thecolumbian — my hometown paper and a publication I wrote for many moons ago. Thanks for the great piece, Jeff!
"Moon Oregon" comes out on December 5 — just one week!
I wrote a thing about someone (@wastro ) who wrote a thing.

Thank YOU, Douglas! I appreciated you taking me on a fascinating hike, explaining the area's history, and teaching me all about Yellowstone! Can't wait to come back!
(And if you're interested in your own guided Yellowstone hike, book it here: outdoor-society.com)
The simple joy of watching a herd of bison run through the mud on a cold and wet day in Lamar Valley is enough to soothe any soul.
Thanks for the day, @wastro!
Douglas is deeply knowledgeable about the Yellowstone area and eager to share his passion with others. This is an outstanding book, and I can't recommend it highly enough if your plans bring you through Yellowstone soon. (And if they don't, well, why not?!)
Go “Beyond the Boardwalks” and see why the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem is one of the best hiking destinations in the world with the help of my guidebook: theoutdoorsociety.square.sit…
My latest for Portland Monthly is all about why you should visit a wildfire-scarred forest this summer—assuming it's safe and open, of course.
This was a joy to research and write. I hope it offers a thoughtful perspective on fire—and, of course, that y'all enjoy!
If they are safe and open, expect surprisingly gorgeous regrowth among mosaics of burned and spared foliage.

Anyway, those are some of the people/newsletters/pods that make my life better. Would add more but am getting on a plane now! Will try to update later!
In the words of William "Bill" S. Preston Esq. and Ted "Theodore" Logan, “Be excellent to each other … and party on, dudes!”
Also want to shout out @dr_kkjetelina, whose essential Substack helps me stay current on the latest COVID news—studies, upcoming waves, etc.—in a format that even my dumb brain can understand: yourlocalepidemiologist.subs…
Been following Casey’s work for years and LOVE this newsletter! Covers the intersection of social media, tech, politics, power, and democracy. I feel smarter for having subscribed! Worth every penny.
For all followers today:
- How trust and safety warned Musk about the Blue verification disaster before it shipped
- A new wave of contractor layoffs stuns the company
- Twitter’s ad team worries about a sharp decline in sales

Another amazing pod that everyone should listen to. I have listened to a few dozen episodes on this road trip, and I have a few belly laughs every single time. Never fails to put a smile on my face.
It's Thursday! Time for a brand new AFE! Nolvember continues with @KatieNolan joining us to draft "Toms."
Who are your top five Toms? TELL US. TELL US OR WE'LL FIND YOU AND SCREAM AT YOU.

Also, please subscribe to this podcast if you don’t already. Every episode is essential listening and … on a personal level, I feel more comfortable in my own skin because of this pod. Smart, well-researched, funny, and deeply affecting.
A gem of a graphic designer and an even better person. Follow him elsewhere for metal, Portland, soccer, and graphic design content; you’ll fall in love with one of his creations before long.

You ever have a friend where you meet them for the first time, and you feel like you’ve known them your whole life? That’s how it was when I first met Douglas last year.
Follow him for beautiful Yellowstone and outdoorsy content. He loves the outdoors and shares excitedly.
And the Kick Ass Oregon History podcast (and subsequent writing from @oregon_history) was a formative text for me and my love for the state. I learned so much and had fun with every episode. Doug’s newsletter will be great! Subscribe today!

Well, as long as we’re here, I wanna share some non-Twitter content y’all should check out.
Like Zach’s outdoors newsletter and podcast. Zach is a rock star who’s turned me on to SO many of my favorite places in Oregon! If you love the Oregon outdoors, what are you waiting for?!
Um, I send out a newsletter sometimes. If you want the same outdoor reporting with fewer dumb jokes, email me at [email protected] and I'll toss you on the list.
But there are still plenty of typos. So, so many typos.
If this really is *it*, lemme just say how happy I’ve been to meet (and deepen relationships with) so many wonderful people on this silly app. My career doesn’t happen without Twitter, and my social circle looks far different without y’all. Full of love and gratitude tonight. ✌️
