    New TreeBuzz Ad Format???

    Ok I'm on my computer and this is happening and my brain can absolutely not tolerate it. It's because the ad on the top right (square) keeps rotating as it goes through its different images but moves the entire page as it does. It would be great to disable that.

    Poetry thread

    Eckart Tolle got me out of a pretty dark time back in 2008. He's got some great insights. The Sacred Path of the Warrior by Chogyum Trungpa was a more fertile dive into similar themes. I didn't realize there was this thread. I've been writing loads of poetry lately. This one was inspired by...

    AIs are Talking about Tree Work

    Wow that was fascinating, I read a bit of that. One post calls trees ‘hardware’ the other refers to them as ‘agents’. Another post mentions to the OP, ‘Your human, Matt…’ um. Who saved who?

    Remember team. We're stronger together. After the biggest strike in my generation (so far), they executed a white guy upstanding citizen who was helping a woman after being pepper sprayed, showing that even the most supposedly privileged class has no rights when they stand against a fascist...

    Tree Cracking from Freezing

    From the tv. Apparently golden retrievers are an acceptable standard of measurement. Lol

    Yeah this is the end of the line. Constitution doesn’t allow this. It does allow the use of a firearm to defend yourself against an intruder. ICE agents are going to get a lesson in the constitution.

    There is no "industry"

    ‘All tree work is custom work.’ Quotable. Well done.

    One Leg Squat

    Oh I guess I was doing pistol squats. I just went by the first youtube video that came up. Been doing pilates which transfers to this a lot. Balance and core strength. Plus I'm not climbing anymore, so my back isn't all fucked up like it was for a decade.

    Fu*%face Von Clownstick

    While China has a trade surplus of 1.3T this past year… Glad to hear so many folks here getting riled up about what’s going on. ICE in MN is hitting a new level of fascist government overreach and we all need to be looking out for our neighbors. In watching the videos I notice they usually...

    Why Is It So Expensive to Cut Down a Tree?

    I embarrassed myself in the local coffee shop cackling at this joke.

    Happy New Year

    I'm actually really excited about this new year. I have this feeling like a lot of beautiful things are about to emerge spontaneously for a lot of people. (but that's just the selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors talking) :birra:

    Closing Thoughts

    I’ve found that the size of objects tends to correlate with how much they weigh you down when you’re ready to let go of them. How much did that rig weigh? I love your story and it is inspiring. I’m on a long pause from climbing right now but I know in my heart of hearts I won’t be able to stay...
