concept, refined. one of my favorite mugs.

I may be a simple country Hyper-Chicken but I know when we're finger-licked.

University Park in Indianapolis, designated a park in 1876, re-designed in 1915 and populated in the ensuing decade. Named after a university that never was, and highlighted by an elaborate fountain and a storied pair of bronze statues. 1/

This isn’t a typical protest. My buddy Jake has lined up a DJ, a bike repair station, and infrastructure vision boarding. Emcee @jesseforindy.bsky.social Speakers: Andrea Hunley & moi (double the Andreas DOUBLE THE FUN!) 🪧 Join us in community this Saturday! 🧡

For anyone wondering what backbone, integrity, and “fuck you, make me” looks like: IT’S THIS!

This Canyon Spirit ad promises an “elevated rail experience” but I dunno, looks like a regular on-the-ground rail to me.

I'm lucky in that I'm not so good at my hobbies to believe anyone would want to pay me to do them. So you fine people get to appreciate all that I do for free! lol

THREAD. A collection of photographs of excellent trees I have met on walks. You will find the captions to each photo in the alt text.

The issue with Prop 50, etc is it still treats politics like football. Rather than organizing/participating, vote for your favorite team & hope they win on TV. Redistricting is a top down solution that still leaves dems beholden to polls, consultants, & money—not the people. We must save ourselves.

I’ve been thinking about this, and I keep going back to my theory that people need to practice saying, “That’s not ok.”

this felt like a fitting subject to try out the Charmera's sepia mode

A lot of light pollution in downtown Indy but still almost vibrant aurora, at times!

In the beginning the pie chart was created. This has made many people very angry and has been widely regarded as a bad move.

It was also just a question on Jeopardy a couple days ago. Don’t be a dumb: watch Jeopardy, learn random facts, post better.

Thanks to everyone who came out on Saturday for the historic tour of the old Indianapolis Zoo site. We had a great turnout and great weather. And thanks to @kmr.me for the photos!

Ode to the family members, friends, and strangers who make signs, wake up early, carry gear, ring bells, and cheer everyone on to make each race more than an expensive long run.

Yesterday we had a great walking tour around Washington Park by @edfujawa.bsky.social on the history of the old Indianapolis Zoo. /1

Monumental Marathon in Indy this morning, great weather—cool, partially sunny, calm—for some great racing and hopefully lots of sweet PRs! Happy to be sitting out this year. Tons of photos and video to process, but will probably find the best shots of the day are from the Kodak Charmera anyways :-)

the hoary Lighthouse, distant, austere, in the midst; and on the right, as far as the eye could see, fading and falling, in soft low pleats, the green sand dunes with the wild flowing grasses on them, which always seemed to be running away into some moon country, uninhabited of men —V. Woolf

man I'm so sick of having to float my wagon across the river, can't wait for this bridge to be finished!

May you be touched by his noodly appendage. Ramen.

Some beautiful colors out today (when the sun was willing to come out), but I find these 1-bit Charmera shots more interesting. 🤷

"I don't fear death; I try to avoid it, as I think we all do. But I suspect that, in the end, I will welcome it. I think it will be very comforting, and I want to earn it." —Tim Curry Remember those who have earned it, and live your life in such a way that others will want to remember you.

Beware that his shadow doth not burden your dreams with horrible fears.

ok @behindthebluemotel.com this Charmera is pretty fun

Let's make sure all trick-or-treaters get home safe tonight! 🎃👻 Drivers: * Put down your phone * Pay extra close attention to the road * SLOW DOWN! Across the U.S. more children are killed by drivers on Halloween than any other day of the year. #SafeStreetsIndy #Indianapolis #HoosierSky

Mood: aslant

"Sen. Ryan Mishler, R-Mishawaka, said the administration appears to have options but the issue is too complicated to add to the committee’s agenda." it's too complicated to solve real problems in Indiana, instead we'll focus on easy, fake ones.

New on The Wall™️

hey Indianapolis folks, with the looming SNAP disruption I'm looking for suggestions for how to best help people who will be going hungry around Indy. What orgs will be hit especially hard and need—and will be able to use—extra assistance the most?

Fall in Indiana delivering! This weekend I rode the full Monon trail, from downtown Indy to beyond Sheridan, and the canal towpath.
