These are just really good trees
A photo of a mountain stream with rocks. On the far bank four hemlocks have fallen, exposing a massive shelf of dirt, roots, stones, and moss. A photo of a mountain stream with rocks.

A dog sniffs the air in a snowy forest. Behind the dog a recently cracked and fallen tree covers the forest floor. A view looking up of a blue sky through pine boughs covered in snow. The snow forms a fractal arc through the middle of the frame.

Trees!
Sunlight filters through a deciduous forest and casts long shadows on the snow. Canine tracks loop among the shadows.

One little week of writing retreat to get this book off my desk.
A forested path covered in a light dusting of snow, with sunlight just breaking through the clouds.

Pits And Perverts happened 40 years ago today. As a queer historian of mining and labor and a big fan of unwieldy acronyms and unlikely solidarities, it is my professional opinion that we could use some of that organizing spirit in 2025. Anyway. 🗃️ 🪨 ⚒️💅🏽

Shout out to Mosse, and TAing in basement rooms that leaked condensation from the ceiling.
A looming concrete monster in the snow An interior courtyard of the Mosse Humanities Building with levels of concrete traversed by stairs and metal railing. A low concrete wall rises at an angle with bike racks in front. A third floor looms above an open space looking into a courtyard. The concrete is worn and weather-beaten.
