Our fascist president is directing his fascist secretary of war to send troops to my home city, using "Full force, if necessary." This is an escalation of what he did in 2020 grabbing people off the street, including the most dangerous of terrorists, the Wall of Moms #Portland #Occupation #Antifa

Mispronounced @seananmcguire.bsky.social 's name when we met at #WorldCon (it's SHAWN-in, not SHAY-nan) and my dyslexic brain knew I always get it wrong but couldn't remember which was which. I now know what I'm going to think about when staring at the ceiling at 3am for the next 20 yrs. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Had a great deal of fun at Oregon Renaissance Faire.

The land of the free, because of the brave. #Pride

C.S Lewis: "Some day you will be old enough to start reading fairy tales again.”

Sad to say the little guy didn't make it. Built him a little cairn under our mural.

Caring for a very sweet little stunned bird who hit the window this morning. He's sitting up now which is a good sign. Hopefully he recovers.
