It’s the “season of love and giving”…but this year, doesn’t it seem more like a “season of fear and taking”? Like many of you, I’ve been saddened by the human impact of draconian government budget cuts and how angry many housed Americans are at unhoused Americans. 🧵 1 of 9

That the political system has been so impotent for so long on both positive and negative behaviors inoculated the American public as to the consequences of elections, and - in that way - the system was not in service to them. I think about this quite a bit. The stove had never been hot enough before

Note to Fox Sports: when I'm watching a baseball game I want to watch the pitcher throwing the ball, not the manager getting interviewed while the game is in progress? WTF??

I've seen this take multiple times and generally agree. I was disappointed in 2017 seeing Womens Marchers fist-bumping cops, because it showed we weren't a threat. I still go, because numbers are important. But I know it isn't changing anything by itself.

I'm probably in this video somewhere

Moon out here looking like the sun

Early morning street scene. The setting moon is huge and bright in the sky, looking more like the sun than the moon

Stepped outside to watch the fireworks and saw an owl! Surely that is some kind of omen

An owl sits on a power line next to a tall pine tree. In the background, the sky is glowing pink and purple from fireworks

Took the elevator to the top of the Space Needle for the first time in many years. I'm very proud of this photo!

Back in September 2016 I was chatting with a Liberian Lyft driver in Dallas and he said that Americans have no idea how bad things can get when the government is truly corrupt. I think about that conversation a lot.

Maybe creating a Bluesky account was a mistake. At first I was all "Woo! The gang's back together!", but it's actually weird that the vibe from 5+ years ago has been ported over unchanged.

Is it weird that one of my favorite places to stroll is the neighborhood cemetery? I've been exploring here for over 40 years and still find new things all the time. Does the fact that this will be my final resting place make it more or less weird? I have the deed to the plot and everything.

Turkey is fine I guess, but as far as I'm concerned, stuffing is the real Thanksgiving star

I read "Wicked" back in the day and it was so *weird*. It really captured the bizarre-ness of the original Oz books. To this day I'm baffled that it ever became a hit musical
