Photos from today's walk at the Seattle Japanese Garden (thread). I was quite taken with these red leaves, dangling by a bit of spiderweb in a way that made them look like they were falling. #photography #PNW #autumn #FallColors #nature #red #31DaysOfHalloween #SeattleJapaneseGarden

Almost certainly the best photo I will ever take from an Iron Age Hill fort of the sun setting over an estuary as summer segues majestically into autumn.

ME: Now Mom, just remember, there's a lot of disinformation and AI in your social feed and your friends' Facebook. MOM: I know! My friend sent me this crazy post where someone used AI to make an image of a giant frog fighting Army troops! ME: ... okay, no, that one's ... goddamit, Portland.

I officially have an apartment now! I've been living in a friend's garage for ... what, just over 2 years? Move-in date tbd, because they have to reset the apartment after the old tenant moved out, but I'm approved and everything. By the end of the month, I'll be in my own place!

He doesn't like that I'm going to the doctor without him.

Blue jays look good in October. (Yes, in baseball too.) BUT LOOKIT THE CHIPMUNK AND THE WEE PAWS ON THE PEANUT

I met the tiniest softest friendliest schnauzer puppy on my walk today. I’m in heaven

Can you have seasonal affective disorder where you get so sick of hot sunny days, it impacts your mood? Is this a thing?

I absolutely refuse to believe that the pheasant who regularly visits my mum and dad’s garden is real and has not in fact been crocheted.

CHATGPT: I understand where you're coming from. You worked really hard to get here, and now it's time to enjoy the fruit of your labors. ISILDUR: So I should keep it? Elrond says I shouldn't CHATGPT: The ring is precious. Sometimes friends don't have your best interests at heart. ISILDUR: true

If I could say one sentence to cats and make them understand it, it would probably be, “If you are going to puke, please do it on a hard surface.”

GALADRIEL: (glowing green) In place of a hard roll, I would have whole wheat—beautiful and terrible to behold! DELI GUY: #3 on wheat. G: (coyly) You offer it to me freely. DG: No, Galadriel. You have to pay. Every day with this

Crap, political post. To make up for it, here's my cat Niobe disapproving of my use of Discord.

Must be nice.

I used my 400mm lens to isolate this colorful scene as the beautiful light was hitting the mountain. I love the mix of maples, aspens, and understory. Happy tree Thursday everyone! Is that a thing? 🤷🏻‍♀️ #trees #autumn #art #travel #mountains #eastcoastkin #fallvibes #naturephotography #nature

I only got up for a minute. This is what I came back to. This cat has some Opinions about my writing.

IT'S PUMPKIN SEASON, BETCHES

FINALLY got Niobe's latest test results. After increasing her to 4 units of insulin 2x a day, her fructosamine levels are where we want them to be and there're no ketones in her urine. SIGH OF RELIEF. No more testing until April. NGL, the repeated tests were taking their toll on both of us.

Jane Goodall has died at 91. Her startling observations about chimpanzee behaviors revolutionized not only scientific understanding of the capabilities and inner lives of primates, but also long-held notions about what it means to be human. https://wapo.st/476clLO

It's been harder to avoid doomscrolling lately, but embroidering jellyfish is still a good way to wind down before bed. Here's my latest.

(solemnly) You've had mail.

I got a haircut and I love it but now I hate my hairdresser for showing me what my hair could look like if I bothered to use five products and a diffuser.

Got my performance review.

I have made up a unicorn. I call it bug unicorn. It is 2 inches tall. It likes to drink sprite out of a soda cap.

LOCAL TRISCUIT DISTURBED TO LEARN WE ARE OUT OF GRAVY FOR SNACKS SOS THIS IS NOT A DRILL, repeat, NOT A DRILL—we are out of gravy snacks!!! 😱

Why I bother to show up early for doctor's appointments, I'll never know. They're always running late.

This is my favorite thread of frog pictures. And it's not done yet.

I really, really hope the first thing he does is make a joke about Charlie Kirk.

Breaking: Jimmy Kimmel to return Tuesday.

How widespread do we think this rapture is likely to be? Is it a finally-able-to-shop-at-Trader-Joe's-on-a-weekend kind of deal?

I bought a scone from a very small local baker. I only got one in case it was bad, and because she only had lemon poppyseed which isn't exactly my favorite flavor. OMG it was so good. I need 10 more.

This is Annie. She freaking loves fall. 13/10 (FB: James Osborne)

It would be so cool if the Rapture happened this week Imagine, suddenly all the godly Evangelical people get exactly what they want and go hang out in Heaven with Jesus and shit And we get to have exactly what we want, which is to be left alone on Earth to vibe with our dogs and read fanfic

Up early because Niobe needs another vet visit to test her fructosamine and urine glucose levels after upping her insulin dosage. Gabapentin administered, now to hope she's not on to me.

More bat earrings up in the shop! Look at their cute little faces. www.peculiarityshop.com/product-page...

There are few things more tedious than someone RTing an entire thread. Just RT the first post and say "thread" or RT the most compelling post, then let me decide if I want to read the rest of it. The block hammer gets mighty heavy every time someone does that crap.

I was taking photos of a mushroom when I realized I was being watched! (Eastern Chipmunk) #manmals 🌿
