I did a thing yesterday. The most physical thing I have done so far, and I’m proud of it. Hiked the enchantments as a through hike. Here is a picture on top of Asgard pass.

If you need a little hope this morning - the current tween trend involves decorating clothespins with affirming messages, then clipping them on friends' backpacks when they're not looking.

Here are a few that my 11-year-old decorated this weekend ❤️

Clothespins decorated with paint markers and pens, with affirming messages. Like "bee you" with a drawing of a bee. And "you're sweeter than pie" with a checked motif. And "you can do it" and "unleash your creativity."

Very nice overview of the same topic outlined by @carlbergstrom.com in their book. It’s important to fully understand tools first to properly use them and to be an informed actor.

Today, 3 towers are rising at the site of that village.

The development, called Sen̓áḵw, is being built...
