i dislike mouse + keyboard gaming because it feels too much like video editing and i already spend eight hours a day doing that

he just wants a big, cozy chair

📷 We already don’t get enough sun as it is in Pittsburgh for most of the year so I’d prefer if it were slightly foggy all the time instead of overcast. #autumn #frickpark #hiking #forest #woodland #nature #naturalist #naturephotography #pennsylvania #landscape

what if… what if i made a ttrpg? i think these thoughts might lead me down a dark path

Millennials have gone too far with the whole responding to a text when I feel like it thing because self care or whatever. I respond to a text when I see because I am your friend and I enjoy interacting with you.

there is no place in heaven for those that randomly launch fireworks in my dense neighborhood and frighten my sensitive dogs

if the videos don’t perfectly, seamlessly loop, the vine reboot isn’t worth it.

fighting an urge to start saying “shrimply” instead of “simply” or else it will destroy my personal and professional relationships

Once we had the cat era of the Internet. Then we had the dog era. Those days have waned and now it is time for bird people usher in a new era.

📷 Happy Halloween!!! 💀 😈 I was snapping away at a bonfire a few years ago and didn’t notice this spooky face looking back at me. Is it haunted or just a good example of our brains searching for shapes and patterns? #pareidolia #horror #photography #sciart #haunted #nightphotography #halloween

i think any proponent of nuclear weapons should be launched into the sun

📷 McConnells Mill is one of my favorite hiking spots that I keep coming back to. It’s spectacular in any season you visit. #pennsylvania #hiking #photography #landscape #woodland #hiking #naturalist #statepark #forest #autumn

Had a weekend full of hikes with Coop #photography #dogs #hiking #pennsylvania #autumn #statepark #fall

I hate that I keep on looking at this photo I took and thinking that it kinda looks like AI because of the sharpness, smooth BG and slightly warm lighting when in reality it’s just a 135mm f/2 lens.

Here’s a mushroom for your Monday morning #mushroom #fungus #mushroommonday #fungifriends #hiking #macrophotography #photography #nature #naturalist #pennsylvania

i went to the bog

i need to take a trip to the bog

i miss when my friends were online i miss when my friends would post

my dog hates any vehicle that is a combination of big, fast or loud. to him, a train is an unholy monstrosity that must be banished back to the pits of hell.

One of the most tumblr things I’ve ever encountered was two accounts roleplaying as personifications of two adjacent Pennsylvania counties.

📷 I watch people slide down the natural water slides along Meadow Run and know if I tried that I’d be bent in half #ohiopyle #pennsylvania #hiking #nature #naturephotography #landscape #naturalist #statepark #autumn #photography

this might be a long shot… but does anyone want to give me like $5 million dollars no strings attached so I can stop working and focus on becoming a true art weirdo

I don’t want to grow the biggest pumpkins. I want to grow the tiniest gourds.

“People keeping asking…” Dude, just be real. No one has ever asked you anything, you’re just making engagement slop.

take me back to my froyo era

📷 One day I’ll make some time to get under dark skies again and take some new pictures of the stars (I’ve been saying this for six years) #astrophotography #milkyway #space #astronomy #galaxy #stargazing

I was out stargazing last night for a little bit last night and at any one time there were at least two or three satellites in my field of vision. It used to be fun to spot one but now it’s a bummer knowing most are just more Space X space junk.

you’re browsing your phone but i’m browsing the astral realm

I think a lot about where I would be if most of the adults at my high school didn’t discourage me from the sciences just because I wasn’t an honors math student.

wedding planning is tough as it is and now I have to sift through all this ai generated dog shit

I’m quoted in this article! Thanks to the Pittsburgh Union Progress for covering our library fundraising initiative and including the larger context of funding cuts to essential services.

it is important to have a nemesis in your hobby

I’m really digging Silksong so far. I never really clicked with the combat in Hollow Knight, but moving around and fighting as Hornet is tremendous fun.

I present you some bugs in honor of the release of Silksong #bugs #insects #invertebrate #macrophotography #macro #caterpillar #bee #isopod #cicada #naturalist #hollowknight #naturephotography

People in Pittsburgh have really strong opinions about which local bakeries are the best but I think we should just be grateful that we have several really good bakeries.

i’m going to post some photos tomorrow

it’s exhausting going to sleep every night after seeing the new ways the worst people in the world are being rewarded
