"WENT OUT QUIET, LIKE A COWBOY."
GOD THAT'S FUCKING POETRY.

Me too --- I thought I was slowing down, but I discovered the Hongdian CA35 today, and I might just need one more. For Science.

A very serene afternoon at Laurelhurst Park.

There’s no one more Goalie4Goalie than Jeremy Swayman

Found it at my local library. Looking forward to it. :)

A multicolored quilt made of of scraps with the words WE KNOW WHAT WE SAW staggered down it with a large beautiful eye centered between the words. The eye has a rainbow camera aperture as the iris. It is quilted densely.

Another resistance quilt finished this week. The eye is my own design, the letters are a fpp pattern by QuiltByNight, the rounded corners and black binding are meant to resemble the phones we the people are using to document the horrors and disprove the government’s lies about what they are doing.

I usually mix them up with pelicans, so you're still more professional than me.

a meme — the top says “My dog just got a haircut and now he looks like he gave up drinking and got his life together” and underneath are 2 photos of a dog (a schnauzer i think?). on the left, the “before,” he’s scruffy and in need of a haircut and a bath. and on the right, the “after,” he’s clean and clipped and wearing a jaunty red bow tie and looking very dapper indeed.

i don’t know if it’s the jaunty bow tie or what but i cannot stop laughing at this

I fell into the Bruins, and hockey in general in the spring of 2019. I've been all in ever since. I live on the west coast, so it works out that most of the games are over by 7 pm for me so I can get to bed early - haha. I've been able to see them play in Seattle a few times.

Statement from Michael and Susan Pretti Parents of Alex Jeffrey Pretti “We are heartbroken but also very angry. Alex was a kindhearted soul who cared deeply for his family and friends and also the American veterans whom he cared for as an ICU nurse at the Minneapolis VA hospital. Alex wanted to make a difference in this world. Unfortunately, he will not be with us to see his impact. I do not throw around the ‘hero’ term lightly. However, his last thought and act was to protect a woman. The sickening lies told about our son by the administration are reprehensible and disgusting. Alex is clearly not holding a gun when attacked by Trump’s murdering and cowardly ICE thugs. He had his phone in his right hand and his empty left hand is raised above his head while trying to protect the woman ICE just pushed down, all while being pepper sprayed. Please get the truth out about our son. He was a good man. Thank you.

I was just perusing your website and your work is just stunning. Truly lovely. I'm new to fountain pens (but I've always loved pretty things, and nice pens). Signed up for your newsletter, I hope to someday have one of your masterpieces in my life. :)

IPA's are so 5 minutes ago. (haha, I don't think the kids say 5 minutes ago anymore either) But I might head straight to bourbon myself. I'll be over here trying to learn to play the banjo (again) and trying out watercolor painting, maybe in the woods. with my bourbon.

Did I miss how they managed to drag Chad into the crypt and Kristen and Tony somehow didn't see them? Were they digging? Getting snacks? I admit I space out a lot when watching these days, but it makes no sense. #Days

I was hoping to make it to Costco today, maybe a little yard work before the rains come on Monday ushering in the mud season. *yawn*

I'm actively looking for apps that DON'T use AI. If I'm using an app that pivots to AI, I begin looking for a replacement. I can't be alone in that.

Cannot describe how much I love this
