Tomorrow night is our next Wasted in the Wasteland Fallout 76 community night, and I need a little help deciding on our cocktail for the evening. Both options would be found in any wasteland doctor's kit, the Stimpak and Radaway. What are we drinking tomorrow?

Hope isn’t blind optimism — it arises in the face of uncertainty. If you look at our history, we’ve gone through some rough patches. But we tend to come out on the other side of them stronger than before.

The day the Affordable Care Act passed was one of my proudest moments as president, because it meant that millions of Americans would have access to health care, some for the first time.

@parkwaysprojects.bsky.social I have to say, after coming home from a long day grueling over 7 different tasks. Yes, 7. At 1st, I saw an Obama post "We're not getting there, but thanks for fighting." I sat down, scrolled & saw numbers rising in hindsight. Way to Go, Virginia! A small nod 🦉

🦉 It’s a very personal quest for me, for my father tried very hard to find a few of the still standing remains of the old giant chestnut trees in 1963 & again in 1964. He had seen them as a young man, when he attended Clemson University in 1946; he was certain of it even if we were not. 🍂Hey Folks!

Congratulations to all the people of Virginia! All who stood up of Peter Thiel and his 9 million dollars. I hope your homing instinct takes you back home to South Africa, and please, take Elon with you in tow, as you both go—back home.

Now Virginians. You have your billion dollar window. PLEASE use every moment of time wisely and let's kick these bastards out.

🦉 Stage three. Should be coming to a close soon. #Atalaya triptych, (working title) #HuntingtonIsland #HuntingtonBeach #SouthCarolina #SCPRT #BrookgreenGardens

This is a very large work in progress, around 80-85% finished. I keep subtracting percentages as I keep adding subtle layer into it. I'm posting this on April 21st, 2026.

From the original post, on Mar 14, 2026:

"The Digital Hybrids are primarily linked directly to the Hybrid Works.

Think of them as siblings...

When finished, it will be one of the first five or six of my large Digital Hybrids to be available in print form. It's about 65% done as you see it here. Stay tuned, the Sea Oats are coming (far less dangerous than "the Sand Snakes of GoT), plus a few less recognizable architectural features!

I'll be finishing this work up in a few weeks, and when done I'll do a Work in Progress string.

The composition is built of three primary photographs. The central one an interior view, the outer views worked into place as a digital collage puzzle, in a way.

Based on a place I've loved for years and years and years, yet, I've not seen it since these photos were shot there in March of 2023. The Ghosts Forests at Huntington Beach State Park have been growing faster (according to SCPRT signage) and I'm curious to get back there to see just how the salt water levels are settling.

It's an eerie thing to behold.

The composition is done, so far, in muted avocado greens and natural clay color, with rich deep reds in the bricks. Other elements are about to be added, almost as scrim layers on a stage, which will be foliage, trees, perhaps some of those scary sea oats!"

The scary sea oats are in (more on the way) are now in the sky to the top of the walls, to the right of the woman's eyes. Ghost forests are forming at a faster rate these days, the salt water sinks can be seen lower right.

More weaving and melding is just around the left corners, the sky, ground, and in the face to a degree.

This work will be 48 by 24 inches inches at the largest scale. There will be four smaller sizes too.
