Wearing second skin on a sleeve is quite suffocating. I feel like I need to apologize to every guy who has to wear a condom. Thank you for your service, sir.

Did you know if you hold an ermine up to your ear, you can hear what it’s like to be attacked by an ermine?

I lost my job yesterday. Still processing & trying to figure out next steps, but if you or anyone you know has opportunities for a cartographer & data visualizer with expertise in remote sensing data, please get in touch.

Check out this almost unbelievable time-lapse of wildfire smoke consuming the World Trade Center and the New York City skyline.

Those vulnerable to poor air quality, including seniors and young children, should limit time outdoors if possible.

Disheartening to see the accumulation of garbage at Camp IV on Mt #Everest (8848.86 m). It's high time we address this issue with urgency and commitment. Let's demand stricter regulations, enforcement of clean climbing practices, and effective waste management strategies. Video ©: Tenzi Sherpa.

The world has lost a fearless soul. Sadly, it is goodbye to 🇭🇺 Suhajda Szilard (Békéscsaba, 1982 – Mt #Everest, Nepal, 2023).

During these difficult times, it is important to remember and celebrate the incredible achievements and experiences Suhajda Szilard had throughout his life.

His bravery and passion for exploration will continue to inspire us all. Sending heartfelt condolences to his family and the entire adventure community grieving his loss.

Not okay.

Forget the groundhog, we use a 14,400’ active stratovolcano to predict the weather.

Mountain out? Good weather.
Mountain not out? Bad weather.
Mountain actively erupting? Lahar weather.

This is power, it is glory on Earth and it is yours for the taking. It gives you nothing back, no manuscripts to store away, no paintings to show on walls and maybe hang in museums, no poems to be printed and sold, nothing but that single fleeting moment when you feel alive.

On my flight today I woke up from a nap & an attendant was walking down the aisle holding a pug, saying “we found this pug. Whose pug is this??” And for 3 hours we all just took turns holding the mystery pug until a verrrry stoned man in the last row woke up & was like “Roscoe?!”

[♡ AJ @pnwhutch]
