  • What can I do? . I went the entire day yesterday with that question at the forefront of my mind. It could have been an entirely normal day if not for the emotions that weighed on my chest. Why is it difficult to talk about this with my white friends? Why isn’t the outdoor or climbing community acknowledging recent events? Why aren’t we having these conversations? . I am angry, I am sad, I am upset beyond words. I can only imagine the fear and pain that exists in the African American community right now. I feel ashamed and guilty for not doing enough. Yet, at times like these, it can be hard to know what to do. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . Being an ally to people of color means to listen, to educate yourself, to stay aware. It doesn’t mean you should be silent. If you’re in a position of privilege, you need to speak up. Speak up speak up speak up. Remember their names, read about their stories, do the research, understand how systemic racism operates and presents itself, donate time money or effort towards organizations, and gently urge your white friends/family/peers to do the same. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . Eula Biss wrote an article titled White Debt that I encourage every white person to read - I shared the link on Facebook if you are interested. In it she says, “Refusing to collude in injustice is, I’ve found, easier said than done. Collusion is written onto our way of life, and nearly every interaction among white people is an invitation to collusion. Being white is easy, in that nobody is expected to think about being white, but this is exactly what makes me uneasy about it.” ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀ . I too am uneasy. It’s time to act, in any way you can, and stop passively colluding. White silence is violence. Say their names. George Floyd and Breonna Taylor and Ahmaud Arbery and on and on and on.
  • I’ve been thinking a lot about getting outside in the midst of covid-19. What’s ethical, what’s not putting marginalized communities at risk, whether or not it’s worth it. @katieboue put out a short guide on how to recreate responsibly, which is always important but especially now. If you haven’t already I highly suggest checking it out! I know it’s hard, but the desert isn’t going anywhere. Be responsible, kiddos!
  • God DAMN these things are good 🙌🏼 When I was in Florida with my family we whipped up some homemade Reese’s peanut butter eggs, and they taste just like the real thing! I came up with a few variations of my own (dark chocolate sea salt, chocolate and coconut, and Nutella peanut butter) and shared them on Forest Tourist if ya want to give it a read 😋
  • Back in Utah, and patiently waiting for when I can get back to doing this.
  • Happy earth day y’all 🌿 I hope you’re able to get outside responsibly and surround yourself with some nature in the midst of all this madness
  • I can’t wait to hit the road again and get that natural desert ombré 🏜
