To say I enjoyed it might be an understatement.
Thank you for this masterpiece @robgmacfarlane.bsky.social
I picked it up while traveling and the threads of it were woven with uncanny accuracy through my adventures of the past few months. It was everything I needed.

Can we join Greenland 🇬🇱 instead? Asking for a friend.

I always feel like I need to add a disclaimer to my climbing photos: “it’s just a V0. I’m not a real climber. Your warm-up is my project.”
But I’m trying to stop doing that.
I would never bully another climber, I’m going to try to stop bullying myself.

hard agree

Take me back to golden afternoons on Norwegian cliffs.
2025 held some unforgettable adventures, I’m cautiously optimistic for what 2026 has in store.

Victor Frankenstein is such a “boy mom”

Reading this by the light of a cheap craft-store candelabra, like Mary Shelly intended.

@alixeharrow.bsky.social has achieved what I thought impossible: a poignant, relevant, AND satisfying fantasy/romance/adventure novel, that is ALSO a believable and enjoyable time loop. This is a groundbreaking masterpiece. I can’t recommend it highly enough.

When they close I will make do with the alternatives: the online options and the pricy local fabric boutiques. But, god will I miss meandering those aisles, molesting bolts of polyester blends to find something that will sort of work for the project I sort of know how to do.

When we lose Joann Fabrics what we are losing is the privilege to create bad art, to fumble through learning a new craft with cheap materials, to keep going back for more because we fucked up the first few tries.

Chappell Roan said parents are in hell and she’s right. But you are lying to yourself if you think you are not in hell just because you don’t have kids. The same broken systems making parents miserable are causing everyone to suffer. We need to stop talking like parents DESERVE to be in hell.

Desert field ecology techs and bank robbers share one thing and that is fleek anonymous fashion. You can’t identify me and neither can the sun.

The crowd of people in the REI parking lot waiting for it to open on a random Thursday are an interesting sampling of humanity. We are are adventurous! We are bold! We forgot something important!

Fun little v0 at groom creek. Please don’t say anything about the top out😅

Wait but yes!! James Bond is surely a time lord.

Feeling inadequate because I forgot a very important decimal point at work, so I’m gonna treat myself to an afternoon espresso on an empty stomach. That always helps.

Slot canyons are magic. #adventure #nature #outdoors

It’s in Moe’s valley Utah! I really like it, less crowded than Kraft. 😊

This here is a nice rock. “Steampunk” v2 in Moe’s #bouldering #climbing

Dang ok. My local bakery is charging $12 for loaves like that. 🥲

Can I ask how much it cost? It occurred to me recently that the local bakeries in my area charge an exorbitant amount for there loaves and I am curious what it’s like elsewhere.

Damn that’s a good looking loaf. Is that sourdough?!

Tips for editing? I am picking my way through my first novel-length manuscript, what is the beta? Is it better to do it all at once? Should I do a read through first and then go back and make changes?

Yes, of course, the noble quest of using the hardest method to scale small stones. 😂

Get swooped!
By a rare endangered California condor. They were really showing off that 9.5 ft wingspan for us. When I was a kid there were only 20 of these guys left in the wild, it is such an honor to see them soaring. #birds #birdwatching #nature

The most recent road trip lap library. Because with camping and climbing gear crammed into every cranny of this vehicle there is nowhere besides my lap to put anything.

(Not pictured here are the “I Spy” books for the youngest passenger.)

#bouldering isn’t even my most pointless hobby, it gets worse. 😅

May I present my sourdough cinnamon rolls. I thought I was craving a little treat, but actually I am craving external validation.
