2026 #introduction. Some things have changed since 2022. Some things haven’t. I drive Uber in Monterey, which gives me time to think — maybe too much time. I practice zazen twice a week at Monterey Bay Zen Center, walk mornings with my wife, and read The New Yorker thoroughly but I’m always about a couple months behind everyone else, which seems to suit me.
I have a temperamental aversion to the newest thing, so naturally I keep coming back to Mastodon.
Still trying to figure things out. Still big picture. Less impostor syndrome, maybe — or just more comfortable not fitting in cleanly anywhere.

The cabin where we're staying has Edward Abbey's old La Sal cabin next door. I think he's a little chilly in his unheated cabin this morning ...
(we went in -- the Abbey cabin serves as an extra bedroom for this place. It's quite small.) -

Autonomies: **Edward Abbey: Theory of Anarchy**
https://autonomies.org/2025/12/edward-abbey-theory-of-anarchy/
Anarchism is not a romantic fable but the hardheaded realization, based on five thousand years of experience, that we cannot entrust the management of our lives to kings, priests, politicians, generals, and county commissioners. Edward Abbey, A Voice Crying in … Continue reading →

#EdwardAbbey war Pionier der Öko-Anarchismus-Gegenkultur. Von seinen ca. 25 Büchern (Romanen, Essays, Briefen, Gedichten) gibt grad mal 3 auf Deutschm u.a. den Kultroman »The Monkey Wrench Gang« (1975; Dt. 1987/2010 mit Illustrationen von #RobertCrumb). Eins meiner Lieblingsbücher. Kann ich allen empfehlen, die auch #ThomasPynchon oder »Armageddon Rock« von #GRRMartin mögen.
Schön, dass es nun immerhin bei #ArteDE eine neue Dokumentation über ihn bei uns gibt.https://www.arte.tv/de/videos/123999-000-A/von-natur-aus-subversiv/

-- Edward Abbey -
“Men come and go, cities rise and fall, whole civilizations appear and disappear — the earth remains, slightly modified. The earth remains, and the heartbreaking beauty where there are no hearts to break. Turning Plato and Hegel on their heads I sometimes choose to think, no doubt perversely, that man is a dream, thought an illusion, and only rock is real. Rock and sun.” (Edward Abbey in “Desert Solitaire”)

#GraphicDesign #Ephemera A collection of vintage #MountainGazette magazine covers, an iconic outdoor publication which featured long-form editorial from storied contributors such as #EdwardAbbey, #HunterSThompson, #GalenRowell, #DoloresLaChapelle, and #RoyalRobbins. https://mountaingazette.com/collections/cover-art

If Edward Abbey weren't dead, he'd deserve to be canceled for remarks like this.
When your favorite authors make you cringe. (In Abbey's case, for entirely new reasons.)

#Quotes #FineLine #Writing #Criticism #EdwardAbbey
It's a fine line to walk---MAGA writers also rail against their country.
A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
It is my belief that the writer, the free-lance author, should be and must be a critic of the society in which he lives. It is easy enough, and always profitable, to rail away at national enemies beyond the sea, at foreign powers beyond our borders who question the prevailing order. But the moral duty of the free writer is to begin his work at home; to be a critic of his own community, his own country, his own culture. If the writer is unwilling to fill this part, then the writer should abandon pretense and find another line of work: become a shoe repairman, a brain surgeon, a janitor, a cowboy, a nuclear physicist, a bus driver. -Edward Abbey, naturalist and author (29 Jan 1927-1989) -
Not everyone is prepared to do #DirectAction and risk arrest. However, that doesn't mean you can't get involved. Some good tips here for anyone who is new to #activism, or who wants to learn more...
"Here in the United States, a common place to start researching #environmentalism is in the works of #AldoLeopold, #RachelCarson, and #EdwardAbbey. Although the work of these authors is undeniably crucial to understanding the landscape of modern environmentalist thought, it’s only a skim of the surface of the centuries of work done by #Indigenous leaders to protect and conserve #Earth and the natural resources we can’t live without –– the water we drink, the air we breathe."
The Introvert’s Guide to Environmental Activism
by Deanna Pratt | Mar 7, 2020
"Putting yourself out there and standing up for something you believe in can be really intimidating. Especially if you’re an introvert.
"Inside of most environmental activists and organizers –– including myself –– there’s an intense battle raging on between our passion for environmental justice and our fear of being seen and heard. It takes an immense amount of vulnerability to put your most intimate beliefs and worldviews out in the open for the world to see.
"Despite that, we still choose to post on social media, attend rallies, and organize community meet-ups and events because we know it’s what we have to do in the face of the climate crisis.
"If you’re someone who wants to get involved in environmental activism but, you’re not sure how to comfortably start, this guide is for you.
"Here are three steps you can take to progressively ease into environmental activism and community outreach."

After reading #DesertSolitaire by #EdwardAbbey & then #MonkeyWrenchGang in '76, we rafted through #Canyonlands in southeastern #Utah. After 8 days of lazily floating under the massive sandstone canyons, we arrived at the confluence of #GreenRiver & #ColoradoRiver & witnessed the immense rapids actively carving the heart of #CataractCanyon. Mind blown & then after the final set of rapids we arrived at a drowned #GlenCanyon 💔 making me a life-long lover of free rivers. 😢 #LakePowell can suck it.

#Anarchism is founded on the #observation that since few men are #wise enough to rule themselves, even fewer are wise enough to rule #others.

I'm right there with you. Love being out in the natural world! It is our connection to reality.
