Find me on the rocks. Or napping in the sun. Always stoked. Scared, but doing it anyway. Rock climbing. Photography. Jersey, C.I.

"To be a good scientist, I have to take emotions out of work. Still, I would say looking at this data, when I allow myself to connect to it emotionally, then I am afraid. This really scares me,” she said."

Jane Goodall’s legacy of empathy, curiosity, and courage As the iconic scientist and activist celebrates her 90th birthday, her message for younger generations is one of hope β€” and not fearing the next adventure.

"Every single one of you has that indomitable spirit. But so many people don’t let it out. They don’t realize the power they have to influence and change the world. And so I’m saying to you, let your indomitable spirit make a difference."
β€” Jane Goodall, March 30, 2024,

Stormy seas. Rising tide. Threatening rain. Pretty skies.

Sorel Point for our last club night of the year, & I managed to get a lead in!

Haven't climbed all month. Hopefully we'll have a few more good days before it gets colder and wetter. ⛅️

David Letterman on his career mocking presidents: β€œBeating up on these people, rightly or wrongly, accurately or perhaps inaccurately, in the name of comedyβ€”not once were we squeezed by anyone from any governmental agency, let alone the dreaded FCC.”

Don’t you dare call us fascists, they say, as they force people off the airwaves for criticizing them while vowing to crush and criminalize their opposition.

Taiji's annual dolphin hunt also began this month, and will continue until March-ish (with a quota of just under 2000 dolphins)

And although Japan ceased whaling in Antartica, they left the IWC and continue whaling in their own waters.

Good news: There was no whaling in Iceland this year.

One day I'll properly go though the photos of Fontainebleau, but in the mean time, shoutout to @megdvs.bsky.social for this shot of me on our last day ✨

Managed to check out Malibu State Park back in 2015, and just before Covid I had a quick 10 day trip visiting Bishop and Jtree, barely scratched the surface!

NATO launches β€œEastern Sentry” to bolster posture along eastern flank On Friday (12 September 2025), NATO Secretary General Mark Rutte and Supreme Allied Commander Europe (SACEUR) General Alexus G. Grynkewich held a joint press conference to outline NATO’s response to t...

"Mr Rutte noted that while this was the largest concentration of violations of NATO airspace, β€œwhat happened on Wednesday was not an isolated incident. Russia’s recklessness in the air along our eastern flank is increasing in frequency.”

Sweaty hands reading this.

Nothing beats the feeling of clipping bomber gear after a spicy runout. πŸ’€

And in those times when self-preservation kicks in, absolutely nothing else matters except not letting go.
