just found the channel Crime Pays but Botany Doesn't and it's a lot of fun

it's small, but the first ways i'm trying to do so are in developing my own relationships to places in their fuzzy categories. the interrelations between the different lives, the obstacles to flows, the different practical-philosophies that make them up. and trying to connect that to different possibilities of mutuality and cooperation against domination.

i've been thinking a lot about what i have the capacity to do, what my relationships with different pieces of the world can do to change the possibilities around me.
i don't know the language to describe my changing beliefs about the world and the powers inherent and immanent to it. i feel like a lot of my work reading has been trying to discover the language i was looking for, and it has gotten me closer but i still feel so far....

Narada Falls from the last day of my trip to the mountains!

this cauliflower mushroom was by far the coolest find of the day though!

and more shroomies!

i was mushroom hunting today! heres some of what we found!

a new day of hiking!

i want to try to write some while i'm out here. i always feel closer to a power i can identify with out here

and this afternoon we went to a nearby creek!

this morning's walk was beautiful

im back around rainier for the next couple days. im excited to walk through the forests and i think im going to try to forage a little while here.

i started the book Dark Ecology by Timothy Morton. i'm not sure what i think about it yet. it's been wrong in frustratingly obvious, glaring ways a couple times, but i think it says something important to a particular kind of "rationalist" maybe... i gotta get further in it and mull it over still.

i rewatched Pig tonight. it was maybe my 4th or 5th watch and it still makes me cry. it's slow, and it likes to sit in its own emotions, but i think what it has to say about Names, Families, and Connections is unlike most stories, and worth hearing out.
