And a little #caturdogday with the family. Thundercleese and Battleship have crossed the rainbow, but Toots is still sassy as ever.

Happy #caturday with Battleship. He was such a dork. I still miss him after all these years.

Anyone out there who isn't a bot or reposter? Social media is becoming too tedious and it seems worthless. I deleted Instagram already and was hoping it might be different here. Oh well.

Sometimes I visit Carlos Almaraz paintings.

This Needs to Happen…. Idea: a law that says if you’re going to build a data center, you have to also build enough solar panels to power it. We can call it the Bring Your Own Damn Grid Act.

Wonderful night out seeing art. Sandow Birk at Track 16. Hilary Pecis and Evan Holloway at David Kordansky Gallery. Brandi Milne and Andrea Guzzetta at Corey Helford Gallery.
