I usually post "The Woman in Green" on Halloween, I guess in the chaos of the past couple of weeks I forgot.
It's still probably my FAVORITE piece of writing I've ever done. It's. So. Good. (I don't usually say that about myself - but, y'know, I will in this case). theappendix.net/issues/2013/...

Well, Wumbum is home. I’m letting her hang out on her side of the couch for a while before she goes into the Thai water jug with Torres.

Very engaging and informative talk by @mcgreenesd.bsky.social on "Socialism at Altitude: Chinese Mountaineering, Mountaineering in China" —so glad that UCI's Long Institute has shared the video, because the visuals are amazing.
Socialism at Altitude: Chinese Mountaineering, Mountaineering in China
This talk examines historical attempts to climb the highest mountains in the People's Republic of China. Much has been written about mountaineering from a Western perspective - but what does this…

I'm giving a talk at UC Irvine on Oct. 6 on my mountaineering stuff - it'll also be on Zoom & posted to Youtube later. I'll do more promo as the date nears, but isn't this a good poster? I'm going to ask one of our office staff to print me off a copy so I can put it on my office door.

Things I love about BZN: mountains, not really pictured here but they’re impossible to ignore; the fact I don’t worry about locking my car or house; the way summer storms look when they’re rolling in.

I sometimes wonder why my iPad has slime on it. This is why.
I wish I could adequately explain how much I love her, but I can’t.

A favorite former student inquired about my favorite ‘aesthetic,’ I responded by saying I found that a weird question but sent photographs to illustrate what I think my aesthetic is. This one is most representative: Austrian porcelain horses, Chinese propaganda & Suzanne Farrell.

We cleared the 24 man savage raid on the last pull of the last session for us. It was fun (and aptly named - a lot of chaos!), but I’m glad to be getting back to normal 8 man savage in a week! I have no idea how ppl raid with such big groups in WoW.
