#Sierra Buttes

Small pines fighting for a foothold in some rough shale rocks along the hiking trail to the Sierra Buttes Fire Lookout in Sierra County California. I captured this image in late day golden hour light as I descended the trail on this amazing hike last summer.

As the top is at 8500 feet, it's a later season hike. I tried it two years ago in mid-June and didn't make it, lost the trail in the snow on the way down (still don't know how that happened), and ended up trekking much longer than I planned on trekking, for a short time wondering if I'd taken an unplanned camping trip.

Kissing leads to necking and necking leads to more necking and more necking leads to screaming and rolling around! No no no no!

I will be writing a whole post on near-future global crisis books and how the genre is just rough and everyone should stop trying to write it and promote some nonfiction instead (once I actually finish this damn book) but I will say, shout out to the one chapter with the kayaker in SGV. LA does suck and we should rip it out and try all over again, so true.

Wrapping up an academic year

I started my week in DC for a White House AI summit, and so did my Washington Monument photo ritual�� Back in Sacramento, the executive team had a two-day planning meeting, and we also celebrated Deputy Chancellor Daisy Gonzales who is transitioning to lead the California Student Aid Commission: *** It was also a time to honor Juneteenth, a federal holiday to commemorate the ending of slavery…

i know people make these kinds of posts with fictional characters a lot but like. hank green truly is one of The Most Guys Ever. like. he's one of the earliest youtubers who is still on there. he's a 43-year-old tiktok star. he's a science educator. he got cancer and his response was to make a tier list of the press's coverage of his cancer announcement. the president of the united states sent him a message of support and he told the president that he was pissing out the cancer. years earlier he was diagnosed with ulcerative colitis and his response was to write a polka song about it. he created vidcon. he's the ceo of a company that produces a shitton of educational series (well, not acting ceo at the moment due to the aforementioned cancer). his guitar says "this machine pwns n00bs" on it. he invented 2D glasses. one of his earliest videos to get popular was about animal sex. between him and his brother, he was known as "the science one" (or "the music one") while his brother was "the writer one," and then he wrote two new york times bestselling novels. his most controversial opinion is that butt is legs. he's done so many things that there is a website dedicated to counting the number of days since he started a new thing. he and his brother use their internet following to (among other things) fight maternal/infant mortality in sierra leone. he has a baked bean furby. hes even bisexual
