Chances are you know someone who is quietly suffering from this common yet little-recognized eating disorder. Enormous thanks to my amazing, courageous, generous sources. Spread the word.

I have a feeling I might get some hate mail about this one... People have strong opinions on dogs! (Including me). Thanks @outsidemagazine and @mollyshirreen for publishing this essay.

When I wrote this story, it didn't feel particularly charged since it was distant past. But now that it's out in the world, it feels a little tender. My hope is that it makes its way to those who would enjoy or benefit from reading it...

Outside correspondent Kate Siber learned to reinhabit her body by being outdoors. But she didn’t expect that healing would also bring a new perspective on nature itself.

I wrote an essay about the joy of writing a kids' book in the middle of tremendous challenge—treatment for breast cancer. (Plus, you know, a pandemic too.) Thank you @adventurevida for the opportunity to write this. Now all good on the health front too! https://t.co/eLETPUk35u

This essay gives voice to what I have always felt but never been able to articulate. There's something really powerful about naming this so skillfully. Thank you @kileybense

This is good advice about sheltering in place from a long-distance sailor... Thanks for sharing.
3 years ago, I sailed across the Atlantic on a 32-ft sailboat with 3 other people. Turns out, it was great preparation for sheltering in place.

"There’s so much that doesn’t matter; so much I did just two months ago seems ludicrous now... So many silly habits and desires and feuds and consumptions and relationships that aren’t just bandwidth-consuming; they’re bandwidth-stealing..." @DamonYoungVSB

I remember after a 2009 Grand Canyon raft trip an old river guide/van driver actually succeeded in persuading me that NASA had made contact with aliens while we were gone for 19 days on the river. Ha! This story by @cwarzel reminds me of that, except real.
