Trail Builder in the PNW. Yes, I do it year round. Yes, it's wet.
Probably smashing rocks, looking for bones, knitting, or fighting the gods.

Trader Joe's check out guy: got any plans for tonight?
Me: oh, gonna review rigging safety for work.
Him: what's that?
Me: it's the type of thing old-timey loggers use to move logs. And sometimes it would explode and kill everyone.
Him: Jesus. And you still use it?
Me: yup. That's why I'm reviewing

Public transport isn't just for Middle Earth. Narnia's getting in on the act!

I've drawn a subway map covering all 7 books of The Chronicles of Narnia. Follow the plots lines, but don't touch the third rail! #Narnia #Maps #Subway

The sun is hidden behind clouds and the horizon. I will not feel it's touch until July 5th

I recognized this road straight away, having only driven it once in the winter of 2022. Truly stunning in any season. When I was there it was completely covered in ice and the tree branches looked like they'd been hung with crystals.
Peak fall foliage in Oklahoma's Ouachita mountains. Yes, this is Oklahoma! #photography

What is already one of the most beautiful parts of the state absolutely comes alive in the fall. I've been wanting this shot for years, but I either couldn't get there during peak or there were active droughts.

Alright, I'm declaring this the storm of the century for Bellingham. The Wi-Fi at the library went out and the Trader Joe's flooded. I don't know how much more damage we can sustain 😂

Forgot to share the last couple weeks of my daily 5 minute drawings again. The first were drawings from Vase of Flowers by Jan Davidsz de Heem. The second were drawings from the Curiosity Cabinet of Ole Worm.

Nope.

I had an extended plan* in grad school to steal the gorgeous sailboat someone used to moor in view of the library windows. It had a pirate flag on it! That’s like an invitation!

Apropos of nothing, I really like this iconography, even if it's a bit novel. Usually you see a saint facing you and blessing you.

I like this "communion of saints" approach where they're facing the same way you are and doing the same thing you are... and where you don't know all of them yet
One of my favorite places in LA is the Cathedral: when my sister’s 1st child, my godson, was born I sat under Nava’s tapestries, looked at Augustine, & thought of @jamesmartinsj.bsky.social reminding us how the saints remind us of the infinite diversity of what love lived out can be, large & small.

If you're going to make a post praising an incredible news photo, it's a real bad look when you don't include the photographer credit in the post.

A devil sits down beside us,
and we say, yes, take everything,
all that we have. Become our king.
There's nothing we need to discuss.
We were aware you were coming.

fun fact: Halloween in the north of England used to be known as nut-crack night.

people would mark nuts with the names of lovers and place them around a fire.

nuts that sizzled, spat or jumped indicated romantic incompatibility. nuts that burned together suggested peaceful, happy partnerships.

I feel compelled to point out that a soda for 100 pennies is not free. That is a soda for $1...

good organizing also isn’t magic. it is about reawakening our connections with each other, being honest about our self and shared interests. it is incredibly human and it actually makes sense.

Mamdani going so hard for trans right and winning is some juicy proof that every dem that abandoned us didn’t do it for politically advantageous reasons. They did it because they’re transphobes and they will lose for it

I know I've been complaining for the past month about going to work in the dark. It sucks, and I'm glad the time change fixed that.

But I forgot how annoying it is to leave my house in the dark AFTER work to go socialize.

Hibernation is the only solution.
