Let’s get writing outdoors!
Abbey approached his first morning in the high desert as if it were a conversation to ease into with a world that was waiting for him. These many years since, he has been teaching me to do the same.

Poster on a journaling exercise for moon lovers.
Tonight the moon will hang in a waxing crescent, a mere quarter of it reflecting the light of the sun. In these waning days of summer, what better time could there be than to start a cycle of moon journaling?

As nature, environmental, and scientific writing become increasingly contested and undermined genres, I’ve decided to put my life’s work on Substack as an open source curriculum for nature writers. New lectures and exercises to drop each week.

Fellow authors, I love you, and I know it feels like we don’t have a choice, but B&N and Am*zon both scheduled sales this week to preempt Independent Bookstore Day, a hugely vital source of income for indie bookstores. Please don’t promote their sales; please promote your local indie this week.

Copy of Human Geographies hanging with bookmarks from tree.
The end of a book project is the beginning of a book’s life. ;)
With the arrival of my copies today, I rest in the knowledge that these poems will find their way home to readers in precious and wild and never-to-be-known ways.

Just because.
From a journalist friend: Just spreading the word. The CDC is purging data, so people should archive their favorite CDC datasets today, namely ones around race/ethnic diversity, LGBTQ, and reproductive health. Also health data involving climate. The youth risk behavior survey has already gone down.
