A Dirtbag Anarchist Hiker's Manifesto

Image
A time comes in everybody's life, or at least it should, when they seriously question everything that came before. This isn't that time. That time was like two years ago. Now is the time for doing. It's time for a personal manifesto. A Dirtbag Hiker's Manifesto The American Dream doesn't come in a single apple pie-flavored variety. Oh hell no! It's okay, nay, it's more than okay, to prefer something different. Perhaps something a bit more messier with a bit more grit. A bit of bitter, even, to make those sweet moments even sweeter. It's not purely an American Dream, either, but a human dream -- one which we are obligated to pursue if we are lucky enough to be born somewhere with the possibility. Let's embrace it, instead of fighting it. In doing so, we embrace our true selves. 1) I will walk softly on this earth. This means: Eating a primarily plant-based diet and maintaining my own body. Minimizing use of single-use plastics and pl...

Have I mentioned lately my great distaste for consumerism? No? Then you must not know me very well! I've been doing a bit of reading on economic systems this week (the things we do for "fun").

Evolution Time

There's some changes in the works. Big changes. Yuge changes (couldn't resist). If you haven't noticed, the world has been on pandemic lockdown. Perhaps nowhere in the US more so than Washington state. A timeline, for your reading pleasure : January 20th: First confirmed US case, 45 miles down the road from us. (We have since learned there were many other cases before this confirmation, of course.) March 11th: My life suddenly got a lot easier. Classes canceled, along with midterms. Businesses, restaurants, etc begin closing. The company I write for put down a hiring freeze, and I suddenly had as much freelance work as I could do. March 25th: Pretty much the entire fucking region closes down -- public lands, remaining businesses (except grocery stores). Today, May 19th: Shit is still closed down. By the way, I don't agree with the current severity of the measures. They were fine in March and through April, wise even and 100% backed by the science at the ...
