This image is part of Bearing Witness, a photo show at Volcano Art Center featuring the perspectives of 3 #photographers documenting this eruption. The show ends this week November 9, 2025 so if you’re visiting Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, be sure to stop by before it’s gone.

“Just passing through..”
The perennial trail maintainers' game of "rock tetris" - 'now where does this one fit?'
Despite the ongoing government shutdown, #PATC volunteers recently got approval to continue working on the #AT in Shenandoah NP (but not side trails). #nationalparks #hiking

A few weeks ago, I had the opportunity to see the North Cascades National Park and the beautiful fall colors present. Only just now getting around to the photos, but it was such a dream. The weather was perfect and the colors were so vibrant!

But it’s also a balance, which is why I don’t like the “you gotta eat glass” part of the quote. Don’t undersell and/or overwork yourself. Not only will it make your life miserable but it drags down every other working artist of the editors are like “well that guy can do it fast for half the money”

This sounds like some kind of weird humble-brag but it’s really true. You don’t have to eat glass, but you’d be surprised how far you can get by being reliable and easy to work with. Raw drafting talent is worth nothing if you’re a piece of shit who can’t hit deadlines.
Todd McFarlane: The one thing I've learned as I got older is you can't change personality. You either eat glass or not. You can't teach that. Rob LIefeld and I were glass eaters. Not the best artists, but we stood up. You should have seen what happened if we actually had f*ckin'' talent."

I remember walking across Paris in the mid-2000s with friends from the Île de la Cité to the Champ-de-Mars in the middle of summer and being struck by how little shade there was from the blazing sun. More tree-lined avenues please!
According to the City of Paris, in the last 10 years 150K trees have been planted & 45ha of parks created in the already hot city, all intended to not only improve quality-of-life today, but also help the city adapt to & manage summer heatwaves of 50℃ (122F) by 2050.
Just the start.
Common sense.
