The Valkyries are in the playoffs! (And we'll be out of the country. We scheduled the trip for after the season, because c'mon…they're an expansion team. Sigh.)

This year, especially, it seems that it's a good idea to actually take a look at what exactly it is we ostensibly celebrate on the Fourth of July. 1/

Forgot to tag. #NoKings in Medford, OR

Up in Ashland for the Shakespeare festival. Glad to be out here in Medford with a few thousand new friends.

Waiting to start in San Jose #HandsOff

About a hundred of us in Mountain View, CA, decided this would be a better use of our time.

Am I the only one flashing on the Moscow embassy? If this is allowed, the next administration* is going to have to get rid of them. *Big assumption, I know.

Today's protest in San Jose was larger than I expected! Some of the signs. #FiftyFiftyOne #protest

Our squirrel-proof bird feeder. Those green lines are a spring that is supposed to get pulled down by the weight of the squirrel, blocking the openings. It didn't take them long to figure it out.

Amazing. He's really going with the "They're not subject to U.S. jurisdiction" argument. Just like people with diplomatic immunity. Who can't be charged with a crime. Anybody with that status who ever got so much as a parking ticket should sue the government and force them to defend the opposite.

Eve seems like she's really interested in what I have to say. Alexxandria[n]a, too. I hope I doing disappoint her.

I love this place.

Saw someone say that people couldn't have voted for fascism because most of them don't even know what fascism is. That's not how it works. They want (much of) what fascism is whether they know it's called that or not. And they voted for it because that's what they want. They voted for fascism.

Reminding myself that the ones to be mad at are the ones who voted for the fascists because they want the fascism and the ones who couldn't bring themselves to vote against the fascists because it would mean voting for someone who was black or a woman (or Indian or married to a Jew).

Can somebody explain why pretty much whenever I reply with 📌 so that I can find them again¹, somebody will like that response? Does that get picked up for them by the feed? It makes me hesitant to delete the replies when I no longer need them. ¹ Pretty please can we have bookmarks?

And just like that, here's the display on the Caltrain car on the way to tonight's Bay FC game. Sorry for the blurry picture. I grabbed it as we were leaving: "He's dead, Jim! Either Chrome ran out of memory or the process terminated for some other reason. To continue reload or go to another page."

I guess I really shouldn't be one of those people who only reply and never post now that I'm officially over a whopping 50 followers. I'll try to think of something worth posting. Really I will.
