Scilla is 😍

For the record this was super efficient. 1 hr and about $15 Euro and we're good until we leave next week.

Starting the day off right with a glamorous visit to the self-service laundry next to the Sea in Tropea.

Or the people working tied to Fed contracts who won't get paid at all like my brother. 🫠

Overnight, Trump and Republicans in Congress shut down the federal government. They shut it down because they’re determined to strip healthcare from millions of Americans, to enrich the billionaires they serve, to continue the assault on our rights. We must fight back.

Just had an amazing sandwich (fresh bread, mortadella, chopped pistachios and stracchiatella) at a gas station. Followed by an espresso. Italy gets many things right and this is one.

Starting out the day right with our taxi clipping a car parallel parking. 😅 Better him than us.

Fuck this clown. Resistance is patriotic. Stand up now before you find yourself surprised to be living in a military police state.

Taking a break over this morning's cappuccino to discuss the chaos slowly unrolling at home. Dissent is patriotic. Find ways to support the institutions and individuals standing up against this creeping fascist bullshit. Oct 18 - Find a protest for #nokings

Hello from Matera Italy

Hello from Italy anniversary trip.

Seeing so many people spreading the word about the No Kings rally on October 18th. Trump is scrambling to mobilize as much of the National Guard as he can to control the narrative, he was rattled by the last one on his birthday.

Subtly downgrade a band Mashing Pumpkins

My t-shirt from their initial launch is dope. Go forth and support indie makers and PBS! twocrowcollective.com/collections/...

Not really an overstatement to say that the test of a free society is whether or not comedians can make fun of the country's leader on TV without repurcussions.

Absolutely worth your time to watch this brief song. 😆🔥

Good morning.

Here. Just buried in some pretty terrible real life things. Tell your people you love them. Maybe go outside and stand under the sky. 🖤

Slightly diminish a book. The Guy of the Rings. Or maybe ... The Standing Around* @stephenking.bsky.social

Hello from Philadelphia. Here to get my eyebrows did. Can't let any ole yahoo tattoo your face so I travel 😜

Now playing. #vinyl #thepsychedelicfurs

In Richmond hanging with the kid getting her apartment set up. Super productive day. It's fun to help someone else unpack.

Apparently this is the state reptile of West Virginia. Behold the Timber Rattlesnake. Protected species and somewhat endangered. It is the most venomous snake in North America. But also apparently fairly chill unless threatened. Also why is it scarier to call them vipers? 👍

Tibbet Knob hike!

Spent yesterday sitting around outside and playing lawn games with the family. A lovely lazy Sunday. This weather is 👏✨

Actually, Frankenstein is a doctor success at the Venice film festival

This is what I "cook" for myself when I'm alone 😅

An amazing Baltimore show to complete our summer hat trick of Youth Code shows. #youthcode #industrialmusic @youthcode.bsky.social

Sometimes you get super lucky & life throws you a person whose existence makes all of life's good and bad 1000x better. I was able to grab one of these people from the universe as a teenager and now we are middle-aged ladies. Happiest birthday to my ride or die. @arcsecant.bsky.social

More people are skipping wills and choosing revocable trusts—and it’s not just a rich people thing. We broke down the differences so you choose what’s actually right for you: www.goodgriefrelief.co/blog/wills-vs-revocable-living-trusts 👈 #MakeAWillMonth #EstatePlanning #GoodGrief

Finally read my first @cheriepriest.com book (brought it to Seattle during our visit - seemed appropriate). Immediately bought & read a second one and now well into a third. Glad I finally stopped snoozing on her. Spooky PNW-based ghost stories are fantastic escapism for stressful times.

I haven't been posting much of my own content here, just reposting which is weird but been kind of buried over here personally. Finally starting to dig back out of that.

Artwork in DC. I love this ❤️❤️❤️

Look what they did to Notepad. Shut the fuck up. This is Notepad. You are not welcome here. Oh yeah "Let me use Copilot for Notepad". "I'm going to sign into my account for Notepad". What the fuck are you talking about. It's Notepad.

just saw someone sincerely arguing that they need AI bc they don't have "natural" artistic talent and idk how to make you understand that nobody comes by this shit naturally. it's just...work. it's being bad at it for a really, really, really long time. it's intention, pursued over time! wtf!!!

Can confirm this is real DC energy.

Schadenfreude of the best kind.

What in the sexist hot garbage click bait hell is this fucking headline. I've loved this movie for decades. www.yahoo.com/entertainmen...

A really good reminder.

D.C. has more residents than two U.S. states. They pay more per capita in federal taxes than any other state. But they don’t get a serious seat at the table to decide how they’re governed. D.C. statehood now.

plural bigfeet

Just stopping by to say... Fuck Trump. Fuck Fascism. Fuck the GOP. ✊ Love to DC. Resist. Protest. Support where you can.

Outside Dupont north metro

Twin Peaks Things yesterday 🖤❤️

Actual sorcery 😮

GHOULISH GARDENS Step inside a 500 year old #gothic garden via the mouth of a mythical #monster reclaimed by nature. The Garden of Bomarzo, or The Villa of Wonders is in Viterbo, Lazio; created in the 1600s in the valley below the Castle of Orsini

The mountain was not *out* today and Mt. Rainier kicked our ass with wind and rain on the second half of the hike but it was absolutely beautiful and worth squelching down the trail at the end of the hike like a drowned rat.
