sherpas used to be treated like expedition partners that knew the land better than you because they were raised on it and now they’re treated like they are lowly disposable service workers setting up heated tents or spas for wealthy hikers who have no business on the mountain like they are collecting your nasty trash off one of the holiest and most sacred mountains in the world like do y’all understand that we see sagarmatha or mount everest as a living deity on earth while the rest of the world sees her as a conquest?

locals of nepal hold the belief that your karma is the strongest as you reach the peak of sagarmatha and the mountain gives to you the spiritual energy you carry within yourself—benevolent or malevolent. you violate the spiritual sanctity of the mountain with your trash and your hubris. you disrupt the spirits that have long dwelled there. if you must summit sagarmatha, it isn’t and shouldn’t ever be from a place of bragging rights or bucket list goals but as a spiritual journey to connect with the spirit of nature at its most powerful.

You have to let people love you. You have to let people get to know you. You have to let people help you. Being so completely selfless that you try to erase yourself off the face of the planet and never ask for anything and reject everybody's offers of support makes you very hard to love! Unfortunately. Emptying yourself out of everything that makes you, you is not actually what your loved ones want from you, generally. They want to make you happy! They will be so so sad if you don't give them the chance. It's not all selfish. I promise.

academic writing these days is always like “be/longing” “re-membering” “(under)standing”

STEM academic writing is like "we present the results of the ACRONYM project (A ContRived mnemOnic is NecessarY Material)"

it is impossible to watch a movie. every night i think i want to watch a movie. no movie gets watched. because it's not possible
