It’s not enough to be not; be anti-. Anti-fascist. Anti-racist. Anti-sexist. Anti-bigot. Anti-capitalist. #CapitalismPoisonsEverything

Expect a whole sort of general mishmash of my interests & passions, w/ a lot of #Splatoon3 stuff.
It’s been a hot minute since I bothered to get 9s in Splatoon 3 Salmon Run, but a golden rotation makes it all too easy! 😎👍🏼 Thank you to this particular group of freelancers who were my team when I hit 999.🥰

And of course, 3x scales.



3x ZERO is how many gold scales I got.😭

Remember when getting titles and banners as rewards in Splatoon 3 was exciting? Good times! 😅

Custom ugly sweater designs? In MY Animal Crossing New Horizons?? It’s more likely than you think! 🤩

This morning, in the Mojave just a bit north of Searchlight, NV, and just before sunrise, there was a fragment of rainbow hovering in the sky due to sunlight that had cleared the horizon & passed well over my head to cause it. Never seen anything like that before, & within moments it was gone.🌈🌵

Also, bows can do this (as well you know). Many times I’m on the receiving end of stuff like this. Sometimes, like this time, I get to be the one dishing it out. 😁💪🏼

So yeah, on the whole, e-liters are usually less frustrating to deal with (though obviously a good liter is terrifying 😉).

So I was just in Goodsprings, Nevada, and one of these fine folks handed me this chip and told me to deliver it to a Mr. House.



Anyone know what’s up with that?🤔

So, I seem to have a #spider of some sort living in the front fork of my #bicycle. I’m worried about it. Not because of any fear on my part, but because I think I may have picked this hitchhiker up as far back as Yosemite & I’m now in the Mojave near Vegas. It may die of dehydration. 😢

While I’ll most certainly repost this on @intoaheadwind.bsky.social in due time, thought I’d go ahead & drop it here now…

I like to think I’m making Linda Ronstadt proud. The fact that my #Bicycle is a Surly Long Haul Trucker is rather fitting. 😎🚵🏼‍♂️

Heh. The Play Activity section of the #Nintendo Store app has also documented the precise moment I became addicted to #Splatoon. Sure I was late to the party compared to those of you who played the first two, but this world premiere changed my gaming life. #Splatoon3 is my favorite multiplayer game.

While becoming a bicycling nomad again has certainly reduced my #Splatoon3 gameplay recently, one might still argue that I have played Splatoon 3 too much.

I disagree and will play more when and as I can. 😜 #Splatoon #Nintendo

I don’t have a reference beyond this Picrew because I haven’t yet taken the time to learn how to draw😅, but Artemis tends to wear her “hair” as VeronIKA style braid & hanging long tentacles with the remaining pulled back in a ponytail.

Some day I will draw her with her trusty TriStringer which…

Look, this will get posted in due time on my @intoaheadwind.bsky.social account for #BicycleTravel when I get caught up there, but for the moment, I just want to say how thrilled I am to be #cycling through the desert & camping on BLM land again! 🚵🏼‍♂️👍🏼

*sigh* nothing like seeing fascist propaganda when searching the forest service website for info on a national forest campground. 🙄🖕🏼

Here’s a beautiful tree.

(don’t mind the human; I’m just there for scale. I’m 170cm tall, so my wingspan should also be in that neighborhood)

Just decided to use Clearsky.app to take a look at what block lists I might have made it onto, and all I can say is I’ve never been more proud of being added to a block list! 😎👍🏼 #AIHater #AIHaters

Don’t have any great references but a recent PiCrew did a good job of the basics which is the VeronIKA braid & long tentacle with the remaining tentacles pulled into a ponytail. Someday I will teach myself to draw her with her TriStringer with a sticker that says “This machine splats fascists”.

Ran into the venerable @vgceilingfan.bsky.social while freelancing the random rotation today. Good times! 😎👍🏼

All in all, a pretty decent match. I died a little more than I’d have liked but their blasters were really good at pushing me into their sploosh. 😅 #Splatoon3
October 5, 2025 at 12:37 AM
I was also pretty happy with this shot. Their archer was pretty good at avoiding the chip damage from me the entire match. This was the only non-assist splat I got on them the whole match, I think. #Splatoon3

It’s been a hot minute since I’ve been able to play any #Splatoon3 PvP, but I did have a moment to take my trusty TriStringer into some Open Tower Control on Wahoo World. Looks like I still know how to play. 😎💪🏼

(Not shown in the replay clip is me checking my map to see how the opponents approached)

Look what’s growing near my campsite in Jedidiah Smith State Park! Yummy Chicken of the Woods! Too bad it’s crappy rainy weather and I’m not really set up to cook. #Fungus #Fungi #Foraging

Last few photos of #CraterLake before I lost ALL of that elevation I’d gained bombing down to Mazama village where I camped 2 nights at the hiker biker camp. Next goal? The redwood forests of California. 😎🚵🏼‍♂️💪🏼

More shots around #CraterLake. The first one here I actually took before the ones above because I reached the rim before I reached the summit. But the summit made for a better story. 😉

Yeah, that view was pretty spectacular! 🤩 Welcome to #CraterLake National Park! What an absolutely beautiful place!

AT LAST! I made it. And yeah, the view from the summit was pretty good, I guess.



Oh, right! The view looking the other way… 3/6
