If you do not have a over planner in your friend group, or you do and they are feeling lazy, you can buy my backpacking & vacation planning docs for a $10 donation to the @SierraClub.

You get to #vacaymode faster, Sierra Club gets the money they need to keep fighting the good fight and I can sleep at night.  

Even though Sierra Club is inherently political, and I have a lot of opinions on the matter, this website is not a soapbox. It is a reminder of a privilege that we have been given and hopefully a nudge (or giant shove) to help protect it.

The effects of stress may filter right down to your brain's DNA.

An experiment showed that the amount of nurturing a mother rat provides its newborn baby plays a part in determining how that baby responds to stress later in life.

The pups of nurturing moms turned out less sensitive to stress because their brains developed more cortisol receptors, which stick to cortisol and dampen the stress response.

The pups of negligent moms had the opposite outcome, and so became more sensitive to stress throughout life. These are considered epigenetic changes, meaning that they effect which genes are expressed without directly changing the genetic code. And these changes can be reversed if the moms are swapped.

But there’s a surprising result. The epigenetic changes caused by one single mother rat were passed down to many generations of rats after her. In other words, the results of these actions were inheritable.

“Oscillating between essay and fiction, ‘Feral Absences’ sheds light on the life of a band of semi-feral horses after losing a foal to a wolf attack,” the Italian photographer Alfonso De Gregorio (@escapingphotons) writes. “Unable to bridge both loneliness and grief resulting from the loss, the surviving horses and their groom go back with their memories to the time spent together and evoke the spirit of their friend.” Follow along at @escapingphotons to see the evolution of the series. “Feral Absences #3’ is part of The Print Swap (@theprintswap). Tag #theprintswap for a chance to swap prints with photographers all over the world. It costs $40/image to participate in The Print Swap.

In collaboration with Pingamestrong we created enamel pins for the cannabis brand Sōmatik. We noticed the employees at dispensaries wear lanyards with enamel pins on them and we wanted our brand there. Not only did we want the budtenders sporting these but all our brand ambassadors, employees and fans.

The bottle represents the feeling of drinking the Sōmatik cold brew. We balanced that out with a classic logo pin for those who aren’t on the glitter train.
