charismatic than a purple saxifrage.” Though frosted, purple
saxifrage blooms lurked on a nearby mountainside on the northern coast
of Inuit Qeqertaat—a small island off the northernmost coast of
Greenland, and the last stretch of land on top of the earth.

Kerby and team trudged dozens of kilometers through bitter cold
hauling gear, food, and even a rubber dingy to a staging camp on
Greenland's north coastline. “So much gear,” he recalls. It was
July. Kerby managed to snap some photos of the world’s northernmost
flower while scouting, with plans to return the following day with his
full kit, but the team was hit by a blizzard. Instead, they began
hauling their gear back to their rendezvous point.

"Mike Knew Apocalypses Had Been Coming at Us All Along." Rebecca
Solnit on the Great Mike Davis ‹ Literary Hub
[[link removed]}&lead=419599&emailid=99329&nl=daily]
People were right that Mike Davis was a prophet, but wrong about what
a prophet is. There’s a debased version in which prophets are
oracles, like Nostodamus and witches staring into crystal balls in bad
movies, equipped with a supernatural ability to see the future the
rest of us can’t. Mike had an entirely natural ability, earned
through decades of reading, observing, and participating, to see the
past and present with depth and breadth and in them read the
consequences of what we were doing and some of the potential futures.
“You don’t have to be a weatherman to know which way the wind
blows,” Bob Dylan sang, but if you wanted to know which way it was
going to blow, studying meterology helps. Remembering that we sowed
the wind helps you know that we will reap the whirlwind.
