Straddling the border of Utah and Idaho, Clear Creek is little more than a reservoir for the rings of dust trailing the cattle trucks. A mountain hamlet that is the perfect backdrop for a forgotten breed of men who move like rusty automatons from one ranch to another. A DEEPER WAY ACROSS #wip

At the end of the day, don’t we all just want to read Edgar Allan Poe in front of a crackling fire in a mysterious Victorian mansion on a cold winter's night during a full moon with the sound of wolves in the distance whilst enjoying a plate of freshly-baked croissants?

One of the nurses on my unit gifted me a link to the New York Times. I hadn’t realized how much I needed an injection of intellectual sanity. It was like a hug for my brain. #BWG

Had Republicans had just stuck to hammering Democrats on fraud they would've had a potent political weapon. Instead they turned it into a hate campaign against Somalis and an orgy of violence against Minnesotans and now we're getting statements like this 👇
pretty wild statement re: Republican Chris Madel drop from race for MN governor:
"Saying he cannot support the national GOP's 'stated retribution on citizens of our state, nor can I count myself a member of a party that would do so."

Alex Jeffrey Pretti, an ICU nurse. 😢💔🙏 He spent his life helping people, and now our government is peddling lies in an attempt to make you believe them.

I *think* I'm ready for the ice storm. Everyone has their medications. We have ice melt, flashlights, a camp stove, and snacks. I do not have a battery bank. If we do lose power tonight/tomorrow and my mom calls you, please tell her I'm safe and warm, and I'll call her when the power comes back on.

I have a job that is designed to be emotionally and physically exhausting. I could have picked an easier field of care, but I chose the frontlines of public health. I chose the team that chose me, not just for what I can do, but for who I am. I work with great people. #grateful

It's Tuesday (I keep thinking it's Monday), but that means that our friend Marc Hurwitz @marchurboston.bsky.social will be shining sunlight into an otherwise dark world with the best of alt rock and Boston from 4-6 eastern on markskinradio.com. Catch it if you can. It's as good as radio gets.

There are clues to what summers here might be like—a beach quilted with brightly colored umbrellas, coolers, and sand toys. The hives of mothers applying sunscreen over the breeze of greasy burgers and salty fries. But not today. Today the beach is Winter, and she’s all mine.

I was laughing about my bad habit of looking at trail maps before hitting the trail but never actually reading them—until I got lost in the dunes. #3hourtours

We just saw this, and it’s a good idea for businesses to post. Private businesses are allowed to set dress and conduct rules. Requiring no full face coverings has long been standard for safety and loss prevention reasons, and it is within a business’s rights to refuse entry or service.
