Just wrapped up two weeks teaching geologic field mapping in western Montana. Sun River Canyon is rapidly becoming one of my absolute favorite places to teach #geology

I just got back from spending four days at Mt. Rainier National Park. One of the hikes I did there was the popular Skyline Trail out of Paradise. Thankfully, it was a very clear day and the nearby wildfires weren't causing too much smoke in the park. The wildflowers were beautiful and there was still snow covering portions of the trail.

Alpine Lakes: Robin Lakes/Potholes

I hadn’t heard of these lakes until a week or so ago. It’s a fun hike but becomes pretty technical after Tuck Lake. Robin Lakes are incredible. Highly recommended. I love the granite, reminds me of the Enchantments and Eagle Cap. Set up my tent in a spot with afternoon shade and then summited Trico Mountain. Easy enough but traversing a couple small chutes made me nervous.

WE DID IT. My new zine “How Git Works" is out now!

My pet #ux peeve are buttons that are supposed to showing you a status while they instruct you to change that status.

For example, when you visit a #Mastodon profile, the only indication you are following the user is a button which is also implying that you should consider unfollowing them.

I get why buttons should be verbs, but statuses should definitely not be verbs, and in this case the status seems like the more important information.

CSS mesh gradients is a thing. This is a pretty handy tool to generate one.
