Spiritual sister of the English moorlands
'Where even the downhills are uphill'
It was Election Day in America
Fantasy, peak capitalism, and the road not taken
Art, artifice, and artificiality (sea glass)
Second-hand pleasure, second-hand anxiety
URGENT: How NYC's 'bird people' save wildlife
It has grown, and I’ve grown along with it
When girlhood and toxic masculinity collide in the woods
I wish everyone could smell a creosote bush just before a monsoon rain
A decade later, I thought I could go twice as far in just one day
It wasn’t an emergency. It was just inconvenient
I may not be a peak bagger, but I love bagging peaks
Only the most hardy species can survive
Why hiking is like going to a spa
If there’s even a tinge of the dreary February in your soul...
Feral pockets, redwood trees, / NatureScores, emergency pees
In the end, I did plant the seeds
Seeing rat city through rose-colored glasses
Even more golf courses than McDonald’s locations
“I can’t write as well as those guys, but I can walk a lot farther.”
Who should pay for playgrounds in public parks?
Obsessed, entranced, seduced, panicked
Confronting speedboats, lazy lagooners, and loneliness on the Columbia River
A victim of the cult of optimization and productivity
Is it normal to cry over rotten produce?
