John Long Mountains

The tech industry messaging differs in its level of threat, but I feel that student.

Please, leave me so far behind that you forget I'm up at my stepfather's off-grid cabin, waiting in the creek and watching marsh hawks and sandhill cranes, a thunderstorm rolling all day along the John Long Mountains, and the wood-fired cooking stove taking an hour to boil water.

I'll take that over even a few minutes spent in service of digital industry.

But it's not as if most people have that option.
