We All Deserve a Sky Ladder
Wednesday, August 21, 2024
Today, a friend and colleague was found deceased during a wellness check. While we were not besties, we’d known each other since about 2006. He rode with me to our shared hometown one Christmas. He checked in on me frequently when I started this job. We went to many a happy hour some years ago when …Plants can be so alien looking. This is the tip of a vine Michael has growing on our brick house. 👽🌸📸
Lucky shot, but it’s one of my new favorites. I’ll post to Pixelfed, which I should probably visit more than once a year. But micro.blog really is my go to for pretty much all the posts, except sassy political posts I put on LinkedIn.
Anyway, here’s a bee on a Lauren’s Grape Poppy 🐝📸🌸
30 Favorite Photos of Lucy the Beagle 📸🐶
Saturday, June 8, 2024
These are most of the photos of Lucy in my collection that, for one reason or another, I had marked as being favorites. 14 years is a significant amount of time to have a best beagle friend. Saying goodbye after 14 years of hellos - it’s a loss I never anticipated would be so excruciating and …❤️
Giving Cowboy Carter a first listen. So far, I’ve gotten full body chills and honestly want to cry because what she’s doing is amazing. Her homage, reclamation, genre bending & blending, and inspired reinvention is easily advancing music’s agenda. It’s beautiful to see and hear.
Arguably one of the finest ice creams in America.
Darkest Chocolate Mouth-filling and palate-gripping with a pleasingly dry finish. The most amount of Fair Trade cocoa and the least amount of anything else.
What’s a pint’s fair cost? $8.00? $10.00?
Try $14.50.
Jeni has gone and lost her damn mind.
What iPhone photo cutout?
State of the State of the Separation of Church and State
Wednesday, April 10, 2024
I’m not at all sorry that I have a strong and sincerely-held belief that, no matter how well-intentioned it may be, a state of the state address by a state governor in a statehouse surrounded by state representatives and state senators and state cabinet members and state Supreme Court justices all …My old boss and mentor and now friend Beverly got this for me when I graduated from library school. It’s sitting now prominently in my office downtown.

Okay, so first he’s doin’ shoes, then he’s doin’ cologne, now he’s doin’ Bibles. How much more do we have to endure before he’s simply doin’ time?

So not only are we forcing births through abortion bans, but now we’re also forcing births through disinformation campaigns. I do not understand this republican, right-wing, crazy obsession with fetuses and wombs and women. I mean it’s all about control and patriarchy and keeping women in their place, obviously. But I do not understand that obsession either.
Love this! 🐲⚔️🕺🏻
This is a Chicken 🥚
Monday, March 11, 2024
Posted to LinkedIn: This is a Chicken. Despite what the liberal media would have you believe, this is a chicken. Immediately upon fertilization (and cryo-preservation) it is a chicken. All rights of chickenhood are bestowed upon it because it is a chicken. It can peck and eat insects and seeds, it …Fixed my “reply by email” button on MB.
Also I found that the Wayback Machine did archive some of my Twitter posts under my first username. Can anyone point me to instructions on how to import them here? I saw something about that some time ago but couldn’t get it to work.

Fun Fact for the Sabbath
Sunday, February 25, 2024
The mission of The Satanic Temple, the only Satanic religious organization recognized as a church by the IRS and the Federal Court System, is to encourage benevolence and empathy among all people, reject tyrannical authority, advocate practical common sense, oppose injustice, and undertake noble …And That’s Why You Always Leave a Note
Wednesday, February 21, 2024
“Whassa matter, Garfield? Cat gotcher tongue?” I chuckled when I had that thought. It calmed me down from being angry at whatever IT pro did this while finally installing some light cable management at my desk and who didn’t leave a note. At least they set it aside and didn’t like, stomp on it some …I mentioned PunkPost: Beautifully Handwritten Cards Mailed by Artists For You the other day.
This is the PunkPost card I sent Michael for Valentine’s Day.
Cool, huh? ❤️
Honestly my weight loss goal is to lose enough weight to be able to fit into the Kate Bush Fish People shirt that I got. Here’s the logo/image. Isn’t that gorgeous?!
There was a band called Frente! in the early mid 90s that you might remember. They were Australian and did an acoustic cover of a New Order song called Bizarre Love Triangle. Their original song Labor of Love got some radio play, too. But their second album, Shape, wasn’t particularly commercially successful or popular but it is such a good album. They were maturing in their writing and playing and it really deserved more recognition. I would’ve loved to have seen where they would’ve gone next, but they split up. They were the opening act, touring for Shape, when I saw Everything But the Girl with my friend, Krista, in high school-the second concert I ever went to (Tori Amos was first). Anyway, the version of Shape on Apple Music has a differently mixed version of the first song, but I can’t find anywhere why or where it came from. I really like it. The last I knew, they remastered and re-released their first album for its 21st anniversary - I was a kickstarter supporter - but haven’t heard a peep since.
Dance Hall Days by Wang Chung is one of my favorite 80s songs. Along with the original, there’s an orchestral version and a re-recorded version on Apple Music and I’m listening to all three this morning. 🎵
Because of course they did. I am SO ready for reasonable people to all light a torch, grab a pitchfork, and be done rolling over and taking it from the right wing once and for all. End the corruption. Eat the rich. Tax the churches. Abolish legalized slavery. Fix the goddamn environment. Care for the vulnerable. Hand out healthcare like it’s Halloween candy. Obliterate fascists. And lock him the fuck up.
I love Punkpost.

My brother and I have talked for a few years about getting a matching tattoo. I decided to see what ChatGPT’s tattoo designer might come up with. I gotta say…I really like this! I’d want a human artist to interpret it in their own style, but as a starting point I think this kinda nails it.
Added my Prince symbol pin to my pinboard at work office. 💜💜💜
