Shropshire

Ashridge Forest. I’ll just stay here awhile if that’s okay.

Carefully driving through the post-apocalyptic hellscape of Los Angeles.

I loved this one.

Rainy day in Pasadena. The weather feels British and I’m very happy about that.

Brief break in the clouds.

The little kid in this photo is now taller than me. And he’s going to CU Boulder in the honors program. I will be annoyingly proud for a while and then back to the normal level (which is pretty damn high) in a few days.

My brother wrote a helluva book

Went out and made fun noises with this today.

There’s just something about a Studebaker. OM1 mk ii 17mm f1.2

I’ve got ancestors from Donegal. The idiot has put forward “Irish heritage month”. I’ll celebrate my heritage by saying this to him: Póg mo thòin agus ith mo chac. Oh, and P.S.: I celebrate Black History Month year round because it is American history. So get tae feck.

Jazz hands @firefly-aerospace.bsky.social! You are on the Moon!

Gosh it would be just terrible if they got swamped with emails from everyone

Long drive home

REI has sent a letter of support for Shitler’s nominee for Secretary of the Interior. My go to for outdoor supplies supports “Drill baby drill”. Hey, REI? Go f^*k yourself. recreationroundtable.org/wp-content/u...

And here’s my son helping to ensure that the opposing player has good posture during a play. Which is important at any age. As a reward for his selfless act, he was allowed to sit alone in the meditation space for two minutes. What a caring and thoughtful young man he is.

Under the bridge.

Imbolc blessings to you. Beannachdan na Féille Brìghde oirbh uile.

And there’s my son choosing peace. He was making sure the other kid’s skate was properly tied. Won 4-3.

Drove out today (Pasadena) and just a block down there was a guy in full PPE using a f*^king leaf blower. Glad you’re safe buddy!

With my neighborhood being Chernobylish, I’m not making fun noises with my old car. A friend got this a couple of weeks ago. My kid’s riding shotgun and it just makes me smile.

Wanted to feel normal so I walked to the Devil’s Gate at sunset.

Took this a couple of weeks ago. British fog, not LA smoke.

This kind of sunset boulevard suits me fine.

Friday night lights.

St. Albans in the mist. Respect to people who like sunny beaches, but I’ll choose this every time.

Belinda Carlisle had it right. Heaven is a place on Earth. The Rising Sun pub Berkhamsted. @theriserberko.bsky.social

Yuletide and Solstice blessings to you.

Such a fun series! Latest installment is great!

In lieu of a British forest, I find this to be a very restorative stroll.

This is wonderful youtu.be/nZoHuoFQyrI?...

This is my beloved local in England. This good place is under attack by a blinkered local council at the behest of some posh NIMBY who recently moved nearby and thinks the world should adapt to them. If you like good community, if you hate entitled privilege, consider a donation.

I took a picture of my kid being good at stuff.

Happy reminder that this fantastic issue of WEIRD TALES is out there. Waiting for you. Watching. Lurking. And it's got stories from me, @denniskcrosby.bsky.social @delilahsdawson.bsky.social @realrayporter.bsky.social @chrisryall.bsky.social and many more!

Paying zero attention to the news. Just narrating stuff, geeking out on science, and driving my car.
