What do you think of these pants in the front window at Victoria’s Secret in the Tacoma Mall?

Every Republican candidate needs to be asked if they agree. The ads will just write themselves.

Any doubt that Shitler’s trip to China will be another embarrassing disaster?

Shitler says President Obama is a traitor and should be arrested. He must have forgotten that SCOTUS has ruled that presidents can pretty much do what they want. Doesn’t that apply to Obama too?

Shut it down! #pnw #GetICEOut

Everyone’s wisteria seems to be blooming in the South Sound. I shot this in Tacoma’s North End. #pnw

Why is the word for “mom” very similar around the world? Because babies said so!

We’re having an extended family Mother’s Day brunch at my niece’s in Puyallup. There are nine little boys here from ages 3-12, and they’re all out in the back yard playing baseball, catch, table tennis and volleyball. Great kids! #pnw

What a weirdo.

I just had a visitor at the patio door. First it took a drink from the birdbath. Glad I filled it up this morning! #pnw

Hey, @bsky.app: You have a major bot problem. How about cleaning up your act?

For #FlowersOnFriday here’s a bird of paradise — also known as the crane flower — I shot on my recent trip to SoCal. It was on the grounds of the beautiful Hotel del Coronado on Coronado Island.

Uncertainty about jobs, climate and other issues is putting a serious dent in babymaking in rich countries and poor. Only one group is bucking the trend. (Gift article)

If you missed his name the first time, it’s on the bottle twice. #Ka$hPatel

He’s probably a terrible putter. When he’s out on the course he just gets his ball on the green and then claims a “gimme.” I doubt he putts out very often.

Gee, I wonder which one I should believe?

We're talkin' to you, Louisiana.

Look who visited my back yard this morning. The side gate had come unlatched, and this mule deer and a pal walked in to see if there was anything good to eat. #pnw

Happy Star Wars Day to all who celebrate it! #ProudBlue #StarWarsDay

I’m watching a great-nephew’s baseball game today. These 9- to 11-year-olds are surprisingly good. They’re playing at Foss High School’s pretty softball field in Tacoma. So far they’re ahead! #pnw

Need mifepristone? Here’s how to get around the right-wing Louisiana court ban.

The Tacoma News Tribune, part of the financially distressed McClatchy chain, has laid off its only remaining opinion writer. That doesn’t bode well for endorsements in the busy midterm election. #pnw

If the travel offers I’m getting are any indication, the industry is starting to panic. Trip prices are being drastically cut, but many require travelers to make their own air connections. I am not going anywhere for the foreseeable future.

Journalists at Washington state newspapers, including The (Tacoma) News Tribune and The Olympian, are among those protesting what they’re calling an “ethical breach” involving AI-generated content. #pnw

My rhodies are blooming! Happy #FlowersOnFriday.

My niece is hosting a Mariners game viewing party later today for my great-nephew’s birthday. Twenty 12-year-olds will be there. She’s asking for prayers. 😀

Sometimes it pays to take a closer look. This pretty yarrow was growing in a planter box on Seattle’s waterfront last June, and it was enjoyed by this ladybug as well as tourists. #pnw #InsectThursday

Ya, the left really needs to tone down the rhetoric....

What a snowflake! ❄️

The DOJ knows the charge is ridiculous and will be thrown out. The sole reason for it, and the arrest warrant, is to please Shitler by humiliating Comey. I’m no Comey fan, but this is shameful. Todd Blanche should be disbarred.

This is so gross. I’m glad my passport doesn’t expire until 2030. With luck Cheetolini will no longer be a factor.

So, Republicans: He says he’s your king. True?

Why did no one at the Todd Blanche presser ask, “Have you no shame, sir?”

JFC Todd Blanche is a tool. He says the DOJ didn’t issue an arrest warrant; the grand jury did. Right.

I’m guessing Seattle’s right-wing Sinclair station, an ABC affiliate, doesn’t have anything to worry about. (Gift article)

Cheetolini is meeting with King Charles. What do you wanna bet one of the first things he said to the king was to express sympathy for the way his pedo brother has been treated?

If you missed it, here’s the speech Jimmy Kimmel WOULD have given at the White House Correspondents Dinner.

Cheetolini wants Dems to stop calling him names. Then he promptly gets on social media and calls them names. So hate speech for me but not for thee?

For #MagentaMonday, here’s some pretty myrtle-leaf milkwort. Have a great week! #pnw

Very revealing insight into the shooting suspect.

I saw an online headline: “President Trump evacuated at dinner.” I have to say I wasn’t exactly surprised.

I’m at my great-nephew Rhonan’s baseball game in Lakewood. The 12-year-olds have interesting names: Quinn, Paxton, Jonah, Casey, Cameron, Lucas, Ryker, Kainoa, Blake, Winston. No Billys, Tommys or Joes.

For #FlowersOnFriday, two shots from my walk yesterday at Fort Steilacoom Park: a corner of the camas meadow and some pretty apple blossoms. Enjoy your weekend! #pnw

My walking buddy and I had a very nice lunch today at Cafe Brown in Lakewood. We both had the miso ramen; mine came with chicken katsu and hers had fried tofu. I think this is going to be my favorite new place. #pnw
