In the woods this summer
Hopefully I'll have more photos to post soon (that's what I mainly want to do here, at least for now). But the process of my partner and I closing on a house and starting to get ready to move has kind of overwhelmed that photo-taking time
This looks incredibly cool, even if I know it's not going to be for me (hits way too close to my day job lol)
I'm struck by the near-total failure of leadership across civil society, in a country that fetishizes the concept. Whole sections of leadership books at every bookstore. Named, endowed "leadership" institutes and curricula across higher ed. Awards and special recognition for "leaders." AND YET
Rewatching Twin Peaks (season 1 at least) this weekend, and now I have an incredible urge to run a campaign with the same sort of vibes. Using Pasiรณn de las Pasiones, of course, because what is Twin Peaks at heart if not a big olโ soap opera?

Those are some seriously excellent trousers
Trans ppl need to be aware: Trump's hideous executive order on gender DOES NOT AFFECT YOUR STATE ID OR DRIVER'S LICENSE. It only applies to Federal documents. Some states (notably Florida) are pulling the same shit, but in many others it's still possible to change your gender marker.
From a visit to NYC last summer
The first I was ever on seriously and to this day by far the best

She's so photogenic! I know everyone probably thinks their cat is the prettiest, but I *really* do
