    A switchback is when a trail zig-zags (reverses direction multiple times times) to reduce the slope or grade of the path up/down a hill/slope.

    Here’s an example:

    Rerouting it is just changing the location of the trail. This is done when an older trail has irreparable damage or was poorly designed leading to excess erosion or otherwise to improve quality/safety and reduce maintenance.


















  • “Come off” is possibly a fluent English expression here. Taken literally anything that is removed from a plant has come off it. You’re using the expression which means something produced by the plant that is edible by function and doesn’t harm the plant to remove, usually as part of seed dispersal. E.g. fruits, nuts, berries squash, corn, grains, etc…



  • Gatekeepers come online because they’ve been pushed out of physical spaces for their own BS. This person has cast out all modern context and is more worried about the words written in a book/pamphlet 150 years ago than the modern ideology anarchism has evolved into.

    The best part about anarchism is you can ignore tankie adjacent book thumpers and party with the cool kids who want autonomy and solidarity for everyone. Block and move on with life.
