It’s hiking season here on the East Coast, and I am feeling my oats! Time to get out there and tromp about… Inspired by an article in AT Journeys, and feeling stroppy about the way outdoor activities of all kinds wear white faces, I’ve been focusing on outdoor organizations of color here of a Wednesday.
Latino Outdoors, you get one pingy-dingy! Thank you for your work decolonizing nature, the innovative way you connect people and healthy ideas, your commitment to social and environmental justice, and your beautiful outings!
I’m a typewriter whompin’, card catalogue lovin’ white girl from back in the day, and I yearn for a time before the covers of trade paperbacks were all squidgy, so you can imagine that I don’t actually understand what a pingback is. I do know that it can in some way be part of spreading the love, and since that’s what I’m all about at The Total Femme… every Wednesday, I pay homage to the laughter, love, and inspiration to be had elsewhere online.
At the Total Femme, my intention is to post three times a week: Meditations for Queer Femmes on Monday, Pingy-Dingy Wednesday on Wednesday and Femme Friday on Friday. Rather than play catch-up in a stressful fashion on those weeks when life prevents posting, I have decided to just move gaily forward: if I miss a Monday, the next post will be on Wednesday, and so on. Thank you, little bottle of antibiotics for inspiring me in this! (“…if it’s almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Don’t take a double dose to make up for a missed one.”)
