What better way to celebrate #WomensHistoryMonth than a Beacons of Badassery interview with history-making badass Lynn Hill?
I had the opportunity to hike with her while chatting about climbing The Nose, handling fear & why "It goes, boys!" is so iconic.

Beauty is all around. And if it’s not, your purpose is to create it. And then nurture it. In all ways. Otherwise you’re not just wasting your life, you’re diminishing the lives of others.
I'm trying to get more nuanced in how I talk about AI. Using AI to detect cancer early is awesome, using AI to write a short story makes you a f*cking loser.
@kenzianidiot When my cat died, my roommate at the time got me a lovely little flower arrangement, and it meant so much to me. I was already so sad that nothing would make me more sad, but the flowers made my grief feel seen & understood.
What's most interesting to me is the language used, here and by many Tech Bros, re: AI.
"We have to..." "Don't be left behind..." "You're not keeping up..." "Going to make your life easier and better..." "You have to understand..." "We have to use it."
Patently ridiculous language.
No one "has to" use anything. Everyone is on their own path and no one is "being left behind" at any point.
Use of this type of language is nothing but an attempt to introduce fear and a lack of choice to you.
You have nothing to fear, and you have free will, always.
That is never not true. Never.
