@parkroseperma.bsky.social I am working replacing some of my apps with more ethical alternatives. I was curious if you had considered mirroring some of your long form content to nebula or curiosity stream?

Oops I forgot to post that I went to the ozarks to see Hot Springs NP to see great views like the inside of a cloud, and the inside of a cloud, or the inside of a cloud. (Jokes about weather aside, it was a fantastic trip. Missouri and Arkansas have some fantastic state parks and national forests)

First time at the Neal Smith National Wildlife Refuge near Des Moines, and I had a blast. It’s definitely making me consider giving wildlife destinations a higher weight when choosing future trips.

Our federal wildlife programs are amazing!

Could be a weird mushroom, or it could be an alien. Spotted at Browns Woods state park in Des Moines, Iowa

Are we great yet? #ParkChat

Alauna continues to be a shining example in the nomad/camping sphere by providing digestible information on the state of public land. She doesn’t sugar coat, and helps people understand their responsibility in the situation in a way is empowering and not anxiety inducing.

Had an excellent Double Destruction (IYKYK) night with @joywave.bsky.social at wooly’s in Des Moines last night. In this crazy world we live in, don’t forget to support local small venues and smaller artistic scenes where you can. Bonus, the tickets will be way cheaper than the stadium events!

I thought my cucumber seeds were duds, replanted in a different container and planted flowers in the old.

That might have been a mistake.

Yes I do label my cucumbers with a Larry the Cucumber doodle, thanks for asking.

Wish me luck, I’m making violet simple syrup. Requesting recipes on how to use it! Drinks, baking, etc.

Highlights from camping in Hannibal Missouri, childhood hometown of Mark Twain. Shout out to Shirley at the state park who hooked me up with the best campsite in the house. Also Clements makes a good sandwich.

Contrary to popular belief Rivendell is in Illinois not New Zealand. (It’s not actually but the Starved Rock area parks come pretty close.)

First shorts weather hike of the year. Pammel State Park, Iowa, backbone trail. Pairs well with visiting the covered bridges of Madison County. I’m ready for the brown to become green, and maybe do some foraging.

To every trans, nonbinary and otherwise gender-nonconforming person in Iowa: I am so, so sorry. I will never stand for what has happened this week. You are beautiful, valuable people who deserve as much safety and peace as the rest of us, and I will always be fighting in your corner.

Wonderful snowy hike at Lake McBride State Park in Iowa City today. Perfect double feature with with the “Fight Oligarchy” tour, which was also in Iowa city today.

One of the first public figures in overlanding/camping lifestyle spaces addressing the elephant in the room head on! (Or at least one of the first to land in my YT algorithm) Now 👏 let’s 👏 see 👏some 👏 more!

thinking a lot lately about how American culture likes making hobby spaces politics-free zones. It’s inhibiting our ability to act. Especially true in the car camping/vanlife/nomad community. Longer version here, if you care to read: www.hungryforadventurez.com/2025/02/amer...
