You can pet the fox.

Two people have told me this week, and one last week, some equivalent of: "You are one of the kindest people I know." I'm kinda worried about it. Do I have powers? Can I be rude now and nobody will care because of my kindness points? Which kind things did I do? What don't they know about? Are […]

Sometimes life gives you maple tree #squirrels. Those are good days. Love watching the little dude fight to rip off each little leaf. Taking their nesting *very* seriously. #maple #nature #awalkaday #pnw #bigleafmaple #mapletrees

Met some excellent #mushrooms on today's walk - love this time of year. Stay safe, humans. #mushstodon #FungiFriday #fungiverse #nature #awalkaday

Good morning Internet. Here is a sleepy #cat POV video. You can imagine that you yourself have a sleepy lap cat, if only for a moment. (no animals were harmed in the making of this video, though one nap was interrupted) #demothecat #cats #pets #catstodon #lapcat

IT'S TIME FOR NOODS! Happy Monday y'all. The world is on fire and it's mostly our fault. I'm happier news, there is #ramen. Today with #broccoli, #radishes, #Scallions, #bokchoy and a can of #sardines. A big bowl of nourishing. #unsolicitednoods #noodles #breakfast #foodporn #nongshim

The wizard sleeps well. The little cat appears to be reading a spellbook in the library.

we get a lot of ads for AI companies so anti-AI ads are refreshing

Played through #amongthesleep this #halloween, and had a great time! A very neat little #horror game. #gaming #videogames

Just did a "forgot about my #carrots" harvest! A fine thing - now to clean and cook them into something... #gardening #harvest #growyourown

Good morning spider. You made a wonderful web, but I need to get to work now. I wish you and your web *adew.* #spiderweb #spider #dew #halloween

Been too long since I've been able to do my lunch walks. Feels good to be back in the sun. #bloomscrolling #nature #awalkaday

These #mushrooms are squeaky and hilarious. Turn the volume up a bit. You're welcome. #chantrelles #cooking

Good morning Internet. Be kind. #clouds

I have a lot of hope that https://apnews.com/ will continue to produce the news, even when the billionaire news companies won’t publish the stories. We should donate to them to help make it so. The Associated Press reporters produce many of the news stories we read in the US, along with […]

Heyo friends! My wife is looking for a job! Anyone in the Seattle area looking for a #labmanager ? https://www.linkedin.com/posts/shelby-johanson-63762413a_opentowork-activity-7379608681711165440 #getfedihired

Hello Internet people! My phone died, so I've been gone a bit. Also got sick, which has had an impact on my daily walks. But the #unsolicitedNoods remain evergreen! Today with microgreens, cauliflower, spinach, kelp, smoked mussels, scallions, and sardines […] [Original post on mastodon.social]

Good morning humans. This is your daily reminder that the sky is super rad at night. #nature #awalkaday #camping #pnw

My brother in law (a firefighter, not an oil painter) painted our #cats as a Christmas present last year, and the paint has (finally) dried some 9 months later! BEHOLD THEIR MAJESTY! Thanks Adam, we shall treasure these. :) #demothecat #goblinthecat #art #oilpainting

This!

Neighbor put a rather sad-looking old guitar out with the trash. Guy just walked by, did a double take, looked it up and down, picked it up, and continued his walk while playing it and singing. Both were out of tune, which did nothing to diminish the joy.

Work calls are better with a sleepy lap cat. #demothecat #cats #pets #catstodon #fedicats

Back home from Reno. Missed all the #blackberries. #awalkaday

Happy #caturday from Raja, my aunt's #siamesecat. Dude loves some scritches. ...yes, I'm cheating on my cats at home while I'm away. Don't tell them.

My aunt grows #lemoncucumbers in her backyard. I had never heard of them. #plants #vegetables #cooking #cucumbers

Kudos, #costco. Our country is a trash fire, but there's still things we can support. #dei #fucktrump #empathy

Waking up in #reno today for a family wedding. Photo from the landing approach yesterday. Good morning Internet! #nevada

Alaska should get on this. What could go wrong? 😸 #cats #catsofmastodon

always accept orbs from lizards (I actually want to know where this is from)

A happy #thicktrunktuesday from this lady I met on my walk today. She has something of a split personality, I'd say. #trees #nature #awalkaday

Not one major American news organization has had the spine to lay out, as succinctly and convincingly as historian Garrett Graff does here, our dread new reality -- much less lift a finger to save democracy. The United States has gone fascist […]

Do good. Be better. Been working through #TheDailyStoic this year (up to May so far, I'm not great about it) and enjoying it. It's a quote-a-day book by #RyanHoliday, and leans pretty heavily on Epictetus, Seneca, and Marcus Aurelius. I don't really follow […] [Original post on mastodon.social]
