There haven't been many sparkly, cold days for #backcountry #skiing in #Montana this winter. Glad that yesterday was one of them.

#Montana forgot how to January, but it's trying hard to February.

History isn't the only thing that rhymes

Armed paramilitary agents stand casually in a hallway. All are wearing body armor and face masks.

Are these the same bros who said wearing a mask during covid would stop them from breathing, cause autism, shorten their lifespans, grow elbow moss, make them sterile and gay?

One can only hope.

I never did.

a snow covered road lined with snow covered trees under a morning sky with grey clouds streaked orange

Driving my pick up truck down this road after skiing, one of my skis blew out of the bed of the truck somewhere.

Any of you good people want to come help me look for it?⛷️ ❄️ 😖

flat expanse of white snow with tiny, distant trees on the horizon, under boiling, complex white, blue and grey clouds obscuring a dim sun

Here's lookin' at you...

Merriam-Webster are doing shitposting. Never thought I’d see the day.

"Bull$#!% is intentional or malicious, while
horse$#!% is worthless and
happy horse$#!% is outrageously inflammatory."

Discuss.

I would probably go see "Werner Herzog Eats His Shoe."

ICE List Wiki

I ask, clutching my grammatical pearls with orotund horror: Who is the Guardian editor who let "... from out of Slovenia..." into the text?

wait... you mean the place where they have been storing the #epsteinfiles?

"investigation" means talk about it over drinks
"civil rights" means the cowering that people are supposed to do in front of untrained, violent, heavily-armed, grudge-wielding, masked incels.

Keep Calm and go with the flow.

Earth is so thick with divine possibility that it is a wonder we can walk anywhere without cracking our shins on altars.
—Barbara Brown Taylor

The more you know...

Not everybody was kung fu fighting. I saw a little thumb wrestling, too.

The horrific violence that ICE + CBP have carried out in our communities isn’t just a policy issue.

It is a grave moral failure that our nation must reckon with.

the sun rises above a forested mountain, shedding light on a snow-covered creek, with coyote tracks walking away from the camera into the distance

Good Morning, #Montana

Snow blowin' in the wind with all the answers.

#Montana

Sunlight refracts into prisms of color around icy clouds in a cold blue sky, over conifer trees which cast stark shadows on a coyote trail through the snow

Sunlight sparkles on the frost clinging to a tree standing on the edge of a snowy ridge, while ice crystals, suspended in the air next to the tree sparkle in a whirlwind shape before distant, dark forested hillsides

On a cold day ice crystals suspended all around sparkle and prism.

sunlight filters through a dense, frosty forest to illuminate one branch with hanging lichen sparkling with frost

the sun rises behind tall, snowy conifers, casting rainbow starburst over undisturbed snowy pathway

Beautiful and chilly day for a #ski through magically frosty forests.

small ice floes atop a running creek catch morning sunlight illuminating the squarish, clear crystalline shapes

Morning sunlight begins to shine on frost covered tall grasses waving above smooth, sparkly snow

Sparkly snowshoe by the creek.

snow lies in waves on the ground, and snowflakes swirl through a background of conifer trees under a flat, grey sky

Wind-driven snow packs into the spaces between yellow lichen tendrils hanging from a dead branch, while snowflakes swirl in the air behind

Finally getting a little #snow in #Montana
