This is why all my books come from Bookshop.org or the library.

When we get some power back in DC, one of the first priorities is to examine how much power the presidency is given. Only letting in his white friends is so deeply racist. They just keep sinking g lower. Richest country on earth and god forbid it’s used to help people.

This entire administration is a dick measuring contest.

Beautiful late afternoon walk. I had company on my stair repeats.

The itchy part of the tattoo healing has started. Argh!

Game Day Space Needle. #Kraken lose in OT to Montreal. 3-4. Amazing comeback in the 3rd but a puck squeezed past Joey at the beginning of OT.

I woke up at 6am and couldn’t get back to sleep. Tonight is a Kraken game so I want to get in a nap. Today is the day the landscapers came and there has been a large hedge trimmer running for 2 hours. Ear plugs aren’t helping much. Ugh.

Altman is the Elon of AI.

Beautiful fall day between storms. #pnw #iphonephotography

Raining a bit in Issaquah. #wawx

Winds circulate around the L counterclockwise. Those winds pushed massive amounts of water into Fort Myers and flooded that area, while the winds damaged mostly everything around Charlotte Harbor. In the Deepmind model, a Cat 2 moves into wetlands and does little damage... that wasn't reality.

Today’s #BirdOfTheDay is #flying

The FDA has approved elinzanetant, a new drug for menopausal hot flashes and night sweats that may also help with menopause-related sleep problems. Significant news for patients who can't take estrogen; nonhormonal treatments have been very limited.

First sitting done on my cover-up. This is the foundation of the critters. From here there will be shading and adding florals.

Tomorrow is tattoo day. I’m excited to get work done on an existing one and adding some new pieces. Also kinda dreading some of the painful parts, such as the soft bit under my arm. 😬

Today's #BirdOfTheday is all about #Raptors and the Alternatives are #GardenBirds Cooper’s hawks, osprey, American kestrel, bald eagle. Mix of cameras used so quality varies.

I got happily stuck in the #heron feed so I’ll share a few of my own favorites. Hazel is on the left and Hank is the two pics on the right. I have a #tattoo scheduled for tomorrow. I’m thinking about doing a small heron on my wrist or hand in addition to my planned work.

Well if you’re in a place where sports betting is legal maybe throw some money on the Mariners tonight… any hockey fan can tell you how bad of an idea this was

INBOX: @pwhl--seattle.bsky.social will be unveiling its inaugural jerseys for the 2025-26 @thepwhl.com season TOMORROW, Tuesday, October 21st at 10AM PT. #PWHLSeattle #PWHL #SeattleSports

I hope he’s set up a therapy fund for his kids.

pleased to announce that there seems to be a passive-aggressive conflict roiling the august pages of Cooks Illustrated, Fall Harvest recipes edition. allow me to explain:

It’s supposed to be long walk day but oof, weather is looking rough.

Wow it’s windy! I might have to bring in my metal flamingo if this keeps up. #wawx

With tonight's win, our Reign have punched their postseason ticket. Every Spring/Summer team in Seattle pro sports made their respective playoffs this year. Photos in edit by Sam Hotaling, @livlyons.bsky.social, Kevin Ng, and Liz Wolter #SeattleSports #SeattleMariners #SoundersFC #SeattleReignFC

The annual watching of E.T. begins. One of the greatest movies ever made.

🤯🥺🎉 #Mariners

You know it’s a bad call when even FOX says it was a ball.

The venn diagram of companies I want to work for, jobs I want to do and job openings is one pixel.

Thankfully I’m not listening to the broadcast talking heads. Rick Rizz is doing his best to make sure we don’t all give up completely on the team.

It looks like there was a #heron mini vacation because Hank is back! Started in his usual spot but there has been a Canadian goose invasion, which I think he’s finding annoying. He flew off to another location that is quieter and I got a few photos of him there. The first one I call “Find Hank."

@governorferguson.bsky.social @murray.senate.gov This person is being held in a Washington state jail. Why is WA state aiding ICE in the unlawful detention of protesters?

Today’s #BirdofTheDay theme is #Reflections. I couldn’t decide between these two so you get both. They were taken on the pond behind my house. Birds love to gather there. Two Mallard ducks and my Great Blue Heron friend, Hank.

Another beautiful fall day. I had to get outside for a walk while the weather cooperates.

So….if there are people in line behind you waiting for customer service, that is not the time to insist the customer service person have a social conversation with you.

Timeline cleanse. Floor time with Charlie. She loves the sun.

Grocery savings today: 26%

I haven’t seen Hank or Hazel Heron in a week. Maybe they found a new fishing hole for the colder months. Fingers crossed they didn’t go far away and will be back.

Pre Mariners game walk to work out the nerves. Perfect fall day.

The announcers are really in love with the Jays. Can’t say enough great things. They are finding every negative stat on the Ms. 🙄

Brrrr….. #wawx

Why do the announcers keep saying the Ms stole a win. That assumes the Jays would win.

Whew! Glad the Ms got that one!

The only way I can watch this Seahawks game is with Steve Raible on the radio with the TV muted.

It’s been an emotional day in sports between the Mariners win and the Kraken OT win. My body would like less cortisol please.

Best video so far.

That was brilliant. ❤️

I remember the stress of the playoff when the @seattlekraken.com made round 2. They put up a fight each game. But the @mariners.com brought that to a whole other level last night. I’m so excited I may wear Mariners merch to the Kraken game tonight!
