@thatsMohrlikeit @Sierra_Magazine this is my literal dream assignment.

Do I know anyone at SFGATE? They're hiring a national parks editor that I would be perfect for. Would love a more direct line than a loose resume.

[Emily Pennington @BrazenBackpack]

@alexheard Appreciate you, friend. :)

Just lost tons of work with no warning from a major gear publication. Editors and brands-- hit me up for your testing and copywriting needs! My winter calendar is a bit more open than usual.🤘

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.”

@DirtbagHikerBlg Yes same! It wasn’t a huge deal, just surprising!! The water was colder than I thought they liked.

Stunning hike up Lily Mountain this weekend. Also… I learned that some lakes in Rocky Mountain have leeches. 👀

@wheeliemum So we actually visited a right after a rain storm, and yes we felt the sand temperature before deciding to not put her booties on!
