Decided to just have tomato soup and grilled cheese sandwiches for dinner and that would have been fine except then I decided to make the soup from scratch and anyway it took 4 times as long, cost 3 times as much, was only meh, and the entire kitchen is trashed.

this is the sickest shit ive ever seen

Excerpt from Revolutionary Letter № 8 by Diane di Prima

Columbo arresting AI for murder

I honestly don’t care what any of them have to say. A newborn was hospitalized because of ICE tactics. That’s not discussed enough. A baby. A fucking baby.

WHY are news stations reading DHS statements out loud as if they have ANY credibility at all? They literally murdered a woman in cold blood LAST WEEK and are still lying about what happened, even though we can see what happened. That any credibility would be given to their statement is insane

Trump is ordering his untrained goon army to go into states that did not vote for him to kill and maim people. That is the story. If this is about "border protection," from "drug fueled" countries in South and Latin America: why isn't ICE in Texas or Arizona or fucking FLORIDA. Oh wait, I know!

This, this, 10000 times this! They Do. Not. Care.

Harvey the dog woke me up at 3 am to express his guilt at prying open the cover on the pet door. And to let me know I had to fix it right now.

let thine eye look like a friend on Denmark.

People not in Minnesota: please read this excellent summary of what life is like in Minneapolis since the murderous scum ICE swarmed here. And more are on their way. By local reporter / writer / bike dude / legend @dbrauer.net .

Happy dog beach morning! Harvey's hound DNA came out today - he stopped dead, hackles went up & he started baying & pointing up at the dune. He rarely does that, usually at raccoons - never deer or elk. Maybe coyote? #phoneography #blueskydogs #adoptdontshop #happydog #oregoncoast

For Friday, from my best of November 2025 folder, here's a #scape - I call these #waterylandscapes because they're natural liminal places in between - not all water, not all land and usually deep in the mists. #eastcoastkin #oregoncoast #blueskyartgallery #landscapephotography #photography #fog

there needs to be a sex offender registry but for ice guys. you should have to go door to door when you move to a new area and inform your neighbors that you used to be an ice guy. they shouldn't be allowed with 500 feet of a school

UPDATE: Portland police said Thursday that federal agents shot and injured two people in east Portland.

we’re never returning to “normal “ that world is dead and gone we create a new one, or we live in hell

"...we are not simply a strong midterm-showing away from fixing this." This is the most important thing both Americans and the rest of the world have to realise asap if they haven't already.

This is what broke me last night when I came home & saw nbc news. They didn’t use the word lie.

Reading a new book by an author I like so I won’t say who it is but. She has a quirk where she constantly describes her characters saying something with a “gentle smile” or giving a “gentle smile” & I can’t unsee it now. So every time I have to stop reading and do a weird gentle smile & snicker.

Love this from Guillermo del Toro

Last day of vacation wherein I try frantically to do all the tasks and chores I didn't get done for the last two weeks while I was busy playing minecraft, drinking too much wine, doomscrolling and cookies.

Remember how appalled we all were in 2022 when Russia completely unprovoked attacked Ukraine? That is what we’re doing tonight with Venezuela. We are the bad guys here. Everyone who supports this is supporting unprovoked murder. Fuck every last one of them

Black eye peas soaked, now cooking, Hoppin’ John, collards & cornbread 4ish is the plan. Used to think you had to eat them first thing in the morning; glad I grew out of that nonsense. Related, I eat them every year for luck. I don’t have much luck- but I’m afraid to stop in case things get worse.

Mr. Binks, left, and Harvey, right, hanging out in the holiday haze.

This nightmare year is indeed ending; I watched the sun sink into the ocean from the far western edge of the continent myself just an hour ago. Happy new year and may it be better than the last, oh please oh gods. #photography #phoneography #sunset #NewYearsEve

Gingerbread 2025 Dumpster 🔥

Maybe making two big main dishes and an array of nibbles and cocktails is actually too much for someone who Santa gifted with a horrible streaming cold for Christmas. #selfpity

#ArtAdventCalendar 24/24 finishing out the year with one of my favorite photos of 2025, my granddaughter, taken with my #half-frame Chaika that made my 2025 bright. Merry winter holidays to all and to all a good night! #believeinfilm #crappycommiecameraparty #chaika #analogphotography #photography

Merry #crustmas Eve! Rusty #crayfish - Faxonius rusticus (Shot near Cincinnati 7-24-25) 🦞 #photography #wildlifephotography #wildlife #nature #animal #invertebrate #crustacean #crawdad #crawfish

#ArtAdventCalendar 23/24 a somewhat overwrought film photo of the Cape Disappointment lighthouse. This is a cell phone photo of a glossy print, so, uh, it is what it is. I was trying hard to sell it as a postcard a few years back but alas. #photography #believeinfilm #lighthouse #landscape #pnw

#ArtAdventCalendar 22/24 some relative scale at the mouth of the Columbia River. From April 2024. #photography #oregoncoast #shipping #sealion #waterylandscapes

#ArtAdventCalendar 21/24 coming toward the end of the day and the calendar with another elk, this one from this morning in the mist and rain. #elk #photography #oregoncoast #canonphotography #eastcoastkin #silentsunday

#ArtAdventCalendar 20/21 cheating slightly with two photos but they really are a #diptych - both taken in the same place last August. I give you young elk and old elk. #photography #canonphotography #elk #wildlifephotography #oregoncoast

Seeing a lot of that "#1 movie when you were 10 predicts 2026" meme going around. Abandon all hope, y'all: the #1 movies when I was 10 are either The Exorcist or Towering Inferno. Possibly the Poseidon Adventure. Looks like 2026 is right on track!

#ArtAdventCalendar 18/24 a #cyanotype I might have posted last year; I’ve lost track. Using multiple images in one cyanotype is something I do a lot, this is one of my favorite results. #photography #altprocess

#ArtAdventCalendar 17/24 In traditional Chinese landscape painting, the artist often places 1 or 2 people, very small, as a reflection on the vastness of the world & insignificance of the people. I think about that a lot. #photography #canonphotography #landscape #eastcoastkin #oregoncoast

#ArtAdventCalendar Day 16: "The Ruins Of Urquhart" The remains of Urquhart Castle on the shores of Loch Ness, photographed with expired x-ray film.

Day 14 of #ArtAdventCalendar: "Snowy Owl on a Mini Wheat."

Some late night Christmas card making Watercolours …. I don’t recall the last time I used them. Probably at school. I’m enjoying painting with them #artadventcalendar

#ArtAdventCalendar 16/24 more pelicans! White pelicans this time, they stop by here through the summer & sometimes stay for a while. Sadly, way less since the bird flu hit. This is from October. #pelicans #birding #photography #americanwhitepelicans #canonphotography

#ArtAdventCalendar 15/24 and more brown #pelicans from last July. Tower of pelicans! so many photos of pelicans: they bring me a lot of joy. In medieval art they're a symbol of self sacrifice & parenthood. In 21st century they're greedy bastards. So it goes. #photography #canonphotography #birding

I don’t know if it’s the thunderstorm, the driving rain, the howling winds or what but I’m having trouble getting out of bed this morning. #oregoncoast

3rd time’s the charm. #ArtAdventCalendar 13/24 Christmas card photo from 2020, unabashedly recycled for 2025. I’m way better at making the first card then I am at mass producing and mailing but this year I’m doing it! I swear! #photography #canonphotography #christmas #design #oregoncoast

#ArtAdventCalendar 13/24 a foggy night last night, making everything a little off kilter and spooky, brought to you by the magic of #phoneography - I love love love the fog so I live in the right place! #photography #oregoncoast
