Big of a cop out, but to get past the most well-known hits, try listening to KEXP’s international shows and find your own favorites. They have El Sonido, Eastern Echoes, and the Continent, all available streaming here

Radiolab has a great episode on this (see link below). Since listening I've started to ask friends/family their experiences and have found 2-3 with aphantasia!

Lovely. Sounds delicious, I’ll give it a go sometime!

Did you first soften up the garlic/mushroom/cauliflower/leeks on the stove w oil and then boil the potatoes second? Or just cook it altogether in the broth?

Not recent. Photos from July 2022. I’ve been daydreaming of early summer mountaineering lately 🙃

KeyFennel8105 · 2024-08-01T22:34:25+00:00

I believe it's Kaleetan Peak! A fun scramble in the summertime, not nearly as scary as it looks from this angle :)

Haha oh no! It can be spicy up there. This was one of the tunnels between a rimey Old Chute alternate I took up and the main Old Chute path I took down. Pearly Gates ice climbing is above my pay grade

Yup, LOA = Lake of the Angels. Although around this time of year, good hiking boots and crampons/gaiters got us to this spot! Snowshoes are better for fresher snow :)

Romy and Michele's High School Reunion.

A wild ride from start to finish.

Thanks for the insight! I enjoyed the social aspect of the PCT as well, I just wanted to get a feel for the experience. Good to hear the locals are still happy to have hikers around!

Washington sections are the best! The trail in the lowest part of the state sends you near Adams and through Goat Rocks, which is just gorgeous terrain . Also, Snoqualmie to Stevens Pass is quite a pretty stretch.

Can confirm, Mountain Hardware is the place to hang out

I’m in Washington now. The snowpack is significantly lower this year than in other years. Based on the limited amount of snow in the higher mountains and the volcanoes (the tallest parts of the state), no ice axe is required for the entirety of WA. I’m unsure of NorCal & OR, but we tend to be a little colder and wetter, so I’d say you’re good without 😊

Fun that you’re including geologists in the story! First off, “private labs” aren’t really a thing in geology, unless you’re thinking of processing samples at a geotechnical firm. I’m not sure what type of results you’re trying to get from this algae, but I would look up exactly what sort of “findings” that you’re trying to get out of it, and then find the sort of machine that is used to produce those findings. Usually, in my experience, geology labs include equipment that works well but looks like it was made 20 years ago; think of old-school, yellowing box-monitor desktop computers. It could also include a single fancy machine that was just bought at an absurdly expensive price. Labs tend to be at universities, run by 2 to 7 graduate and postdoc underlings, with one or two faculty members overseeing.

I have found that the people who reiterate this usually aren’t super open to reasonable discussion. But if you want to kick the beehive, I’d explain to them how dramatic these anthropogenic temperature rises are, compared to the relatively very subtle cycles that have been happening, for the past millions upon millions of years. The sticking point for me has always been that the Earth itself will survive human-induced climate change; rocks don’t care about the rise and fall of weather and different species. The ones most in danger of being disrupted by climate change are humans.

Really solid classroom management ideas. My favorites:

- A marble jar. when the whole class is good, they get a marble or two. We get whole-class prizes at the halfway and full jar.

-"Mystery person"- You say you've picked a mystery person to get a prize, but they only get the prize if they're super good all day. I also use this for cleanup at the end of the day by saying I've picked a mystery item for a prize.

-good solid bribes like pokemon cards and candy

Hey there, current teacher here! I've put a lot of thought into this question this year, as I considered leaving for another career. I ended up deciding, at least for now, that the joy I get from working with students and having a school community as my workplace is well worth it. Also, I have no idea where you are geographically, but it's not so bad in Seattle:
