Wandering into a Forest of Pure White Mushrooms | Utah

In the desolate Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument, there is a area of pure white hoodoos. Unlike the typical red landscapes in the surrounding area, the Wahweap Hoodoos, also known as the White Ghost Hoodoos, stand out for their ghostly white color. I came across someone's sharing on Instagram and immediately added Utah to my itinerary. Standing in front of these hoodoos was truly breathtaking. Whether large or small, each hoodoo features a darker flat top on top of its white, snow-like body. The white mushroom-like bodies are made of Entrada sandstone from 160 million years ago, very soft and resembling powdered sand. The darker flat tops are made of Dakota sandstone from 150 million years ago, with a harder texture. Over millions of years of erosion, the soft Entrada sandstone gradually formed these distinctive white spires. The hoodoos are divided into three areas, with Group 3 being the most spectacular. There are two ways to reach this area: Option One: Hike The Wahweap Hoodoos Trail, a round trip of 10.4 miles. Details can be found on Alltrails. Option Two: Google search "White Ghost Hoodoo" and drive a high-clearance off-road vehicle on unpaved gravel roads for 12 miles (Cottonwood Canyon Rd/Rd7010/Rd7050) to the trailhead by the riverbed. Park before the wilderness study area and hike 1 mile along the dried riverbed to reach the Wahweap Hoodoos Group 3. Do not attempt this route in rainy conditions or if there is standing water, as the vehicle can easily get stuck. ⚠️ Important notes ⚠️ The road is impassable when wet! Summer weather can be unpredictable, so carefully assess the risk of rain. There is almost no signal along the road, and we didn't encounter anyone throughout our journey. It's advisable to download offline maps in advance. We tried asking about road conditions at the Kanab Visitor Center, but the staff wasn't very clear. They mentioned there hadn't been any rain in a week and driving should be fine. It's best to inquire at the visitor center before setting off. There is no shade along the entire route, so be sun-safe, and be cautious of high temperatures during summer. 🔥 We're not sure if this is only in June, but when we walked along the riverbed, there were many insects that caused painful bites. The white sandstone is very soft, so it's important for visitors to be careful and protect them."

The Film That Fashion’s Been Stealing From for 20 Years

It was never supposed to be stylish. Gummo (1997) is a film that reeks of rot—rusty bathtubs, broken towns, kids numb from too much nothing. And yet… fashion keeps crawling back to it. Chloë Sevigny didn’t dress those characters to look cool. She raided thrift bins, borrowed her own closet. Metal tees, animal prints, ripped tights—filthy, jarring, real. That “just threw it on” chaos? It’s been ripped off by runways ever since. Supreme printed its scenes on tees. MSGM rewrote its dirt-core angst into glossy fabrics. Gummo never asked to be a muse—but the world, starving for authenticity, turned to its decay. Maybe we keep copying it because it didn’t try. Because real doesn’t age. Which movie’s fashion hit you like that—raw, wrong, unforgettable? Drop it in the comments. I want to know. #entertainment #movie #gummo

My Favorite Movie. Period.

If I had to choose one film to carry with me for life—it’s The Worst Person in the World. No contest. Julie is 30 and lost. Not in a tragic way. Just… real. She ditches med school, dabbles in psychology, takes photos, dates an older man who wants kids—and doesn’t. Then there’s the affair, the unplanned pregnancy, the breakup, the mess. All of it. Every decision feels like reaching for roses in thorns. But what floored me most? That one line: “If men got periods, we’d talk about them constantly.” She says it. Calmly. Clearly. And suddenly I was crying in a way I didn’t expect. This isn’t a sweet coming-of-age story. It’s a film with frost on its surface and fire underneath. Oslo glows cold and distant. The steam from her coffee carries more truth than most entire scripts. Watch it. For the ache. For the honesty. For yourself. #Entertainment #movie #MovieConfession

The Thing in My Living Room Waved Back

2 AM in a split-level Hawaii rental. Pee break. Didn’t shut the bathroom door—why would I? Then I saw it: a silhouette too deliberate to be shadow. Stick-limbed. Oversized head. Eyes like oil pits. We locked stares for three heartbeats. I stood (pants up, fight mode on) and it waved—not friendly. Not threatening. Just… recognition. Like we’d both been caught in the same joke. Gone before I could lunge. No sound. No afterimage. Now I scan the floor at night. Not because I’m scared. Because I don’t want to miss it if it comes back. TL;DR: Either Hawaii’s nightlife is weirder than advertised, or something checked in on me. Still waiting for round two. *(Tell me I’m not the only one.) #NightVisitor #ShadowFigure #HawaiiEncounters
