Jamie is a great soul, is doing the essential work of tending to public forests, and is amazing at writing about it too. And his photos from all the trails are a thing of beauty. I'm glad I stumbled upon his Twitter account a couple years ago.

really nice map of inventoried roadless areas, now under threat

good news: mike lee greatly reduced the amount of land eligible for sale in his bill. bad news: Trump's UDSA secretary is ending protections for Inventoried Roadless Areas, possibly the most important public lands you've never heard of. new map here jtommins.github.io/ira_web_map/

Needless to say, lands that are not currently designated as a National Park, Wildlife Refuge, or Wilderness, are often just as valuable or even more so, and at greater risk.

hey y'all its been a minute. just wanted to share this thing i made. they're trying to sell off our roadless areas, wilderness study areas, and more special designations. view the map here jtommins.github.io/public_lands...

finished the novel north woods by daniel mason last night and wrote this earlier today about how i am obsessed with new england jamietommins.substack.com/p/the-old-st...

bro this is so so good, especially the ending. made me realize how rarely you ever hear about disability and ecology together. made me emotional about gis!!!!

yesterday i wrote about the world i've lived in since long covid changed everything a year and a half ago. we're all in this new world together whether we accept it or not jamietommins.substack.com/p/the-new-wo...

You seem to have as much skill with words as you did with a chainsaw. The ending statement offers a perspective I had not considered before. Won't spoil the surprise for others. My longhaul symptoms are no where near the severity of yours but i see your point in so many ways, everywhere. 😪

old friends who left the other site like a year ago where are you

western philosophy’s earliest word for “matter” as the elemental substance of everything was hyle, the greek word for forest. the latin was materia, meaning wood, and had the same root as mater, the word for mother. happy sunday

amazing theory about the origin of the cyclops in greek myth involving prehistoric family forest clearings and the god vulcan

the touchy science lovers have persuaded me. thank you for pcbs forever chemicals atomic bombs fossil fuels glyphosate fentanyl drones and the surveillance state

I worked on that artificial leaf. And let me tell you something...it was stupid.

i tell all my friends in STEM to stop fucking around with their instruments of steel, silicon and destruction and do something useful with their lives like biology or ecology

just gonna keep posting this until the science lovers leave me alone

found out a guy at harvard invented a bionic leaf. he’s got a big lab full of machines and lasers and he made an artificial leaf. hey professor are you stupid or something

y’all ever think about the weakening jet stream and the disappearance of arctic sea icr

thank you to those who are too online for bringing forth the blissful state of being not-online, in accordance with the Dao
