Contact info is here. To be fair, he won’t respond and will just add you to his email list, but enough people reach out the more he’ll know his job is at risk.

'There is literally no one': The forest service in Lake Tahoe is gutted Federal cuts have gutted the already-stretched-thin Lake Tahoe Basin Management Unit, putting on hold critical work for the environment and tourism.

Tahoe folk: Email, call and annoy this piss outta Kevin Kiley until he stands up for the district he’s putting in a worse situation everyday he doesn’t fight back against NFS Cuts:

I'm gonna raise my son to know that being strong is saying you're going to do something, then doing it but backing down immediately, then delay doing it one month, then do it again for a day or two, then back down again, and then tell everyone in one month you're gonna do it again. That's strength

I haven’t been combing social media recently so trying to crowd source info on this.

Has anyone seen any outdoor brands, besides Patagonia, making statements, action or voicing opinions against public land agency cuts and/or the potential privatization of public lands?

Way more often good snow!

When they tell you federal lands are inefficient and need to be privatized for economic gains, know they are lying. The gains are there, they just mainly go to local economies, not big business.

100% agreed, hopefully in 2 years and 4 years they do though…well if there are still elections of course.

$818 to put some glue on a cut on my son's forehead. $267 out of pocket after insurance chips in--which we pay $2800/month for. Yet, the only national conversation anyone is having about healthcare is the one around Luigi. It baffles my mind that Dems aren't all in on a massive HC overhaul.

Is The Trump Administration Preparing To Sell Off Public Lands In Secret? As plans remain undisclosed, fears grow that about large-scale reduction in protections for public lands, possible mass sell-off

Been mainly following and focused on Public Lands issues, Wes Siler is doing an incredible job of reporting on the issues. If you're on either side of the aisle and concerned about losing access to (imho) America's most treasured attribute, give him a read. wessiler.substack.com/p/is-the-tru...

Thought it would be heinous dust on crust. Ended up being just enough dust to hide the crust.

The evolution of what we consider 'shameful' is wild. Watching Gen Z kids in the gym, in public, remove their shirts, flex in the mirror and take photos is mad. Not judging, more interested to see how much has generationally changed when doing stuff once reserved for a bathroom is now acceptable.

Turned on app restrictions, after trying years ago and it failing to work. This time, personal screen time has been cut in half simply by limiting the time spent on the unlimited scroll of algorithmic fed garbage provided by Meta. Reading more, staring at phone less...what a life quality upgrade.

On The Best Ski Mountaineers Here are my five personal criteria to determine, who is the best of the best in ski mountaineering.

Like any good first post on a new platform, this one is self promotional! Well hopefully it’s interesting to you too.
