Sunday afternoon hike up the Metacomet Range.
You bolt awake in the woods of New England. It's 1671 and you are Metacomet. The future cannot come to pass. The English must be driven into the sea.
Going back in time to tell the puritans that their descendents are worshipping a guy who posts images of himself as the pope.

2025 has been an extremely difficult year for me and for so many of us. Lots of losses and grieving not to mention the injustices and injuries being unleashed in the United States and the entire world. I hope 2026 is better, that monsters are defeated and that kindness grows.

A beautiful spot and a super interesting geologic feature! It's part of the Metacomet Ridge, which is the result of lava filling a rift valley millions of years ago. The valley itself was made of softer rock and has long since been eroded away. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Metacom...
