it’s probably obvious from this past week on here that i don’t have patience for disingenuous or otherwise completely out of touch comments and views. apologies on if the related and ensuing drama was a bit much…

…small acts of resistance:

- team who reports to me, all members, PTO requests currently blanket approved. (note that team performance is well past “good”, and I have a team where people have immediate relatives in puerto rico, taiwan, or israel)

- purchased a rather nice folding saw which ive used before to facilitate trail maintenance work this summer - planning to get use out of it on urban trails around here and in the more “real” wilderness.

- monetary donations to certain nonprofits important to me

- emailing and calling my state senators and local house reps

not quite sure what else to do tbh.

This rules. Good luck on the trails.

Thank you.

I seem to operate at a species-wide level of thinking and even increasingly actions - nurturing all of the local, family, and friends-level stuff cannot fall by the wayside. Including simple "thank you"s!

You're doing all ya can do for now.

Thank you.

a thanks really does go a long way! i can’t think at a global scale this days, it’s too much of a bummer for me.
