I find myself missing New Mexico more and more these days.

Kate aka "Dorid" @d0rid.bsky.social · 27/10/2025

I miss this me: out on the LA and Orange County coasts, sharing my love of marine mammals on the whale watch boats. I love Petaluma. But I also miss being closer to the boats.

The Department of Labor is blowing those dog whistles really hard with their white supremacist, evangelical extremist imagery, which looks more like religious tracts or 50s propaganda flyers. They're making it clear who THEY think who should be allowed to work. That's why I've blocked @dol.gov.

#PetalumaCA #NoKings2 I didn't know there were this many people in Petaluma! Waiting for the numbers today, but more protesters that I could have ever imagined!

As much as I'm thrilled to see the original cast of Hamilton reuniting, I can't help but think that there is an obvious recast for King George singing "I will send a fully armed battalion to remind you of our love..."

Yesterday was beautiful. Let's do it again soon.

Apparently, at least one high profile activist is having her FB posts disappeared from FB without notification. I wonder how many others?

So I decided to walk around the other end of the Head and look at Bodega Rock, hoping for some Common Murre (although I figure it might be a little early). Problem is, I was viewing through my camera, not binoculars, so not a lot of detail, but seems like no murre, just cormorants and sea lions.

I did get a few pictures of some cormorants on the rock below, but nothing very exciting.

Today I needed more than a timeline cleanse, I needed a spirit cleanse. I headed to Bodega Head to look for whales. I knew a group of 7 northbound were coming (probably juveniles) because they had been logged south of here, but the water was so darn choppy, I wouldn't have seen them anyway.

I have TOO MANY ideas for signage, and a yet blank substrate to paint on. I may be going without, for the first time. I should have started thinking about it sooner. But having a number of bodies at the rally is more important than having a number of signs, so I'll be there.

this is my favorite photo from today's walk:

Today I learned a new bird: the Varied Thrush. I got some truly awful, blurry photos.

I applaud these groups, but recognize the real need for an AltExecutiveBranch.

PLEASE, Elon, GO TO MARS. Right now. Take Trump with you. And Vance while you're at it.

Happy "dangerous woke shit" memory for today: Me, in a school LIBRARY teaching CHILDREN about the EVOLUTIONary adaptations of carnivores vs herbivores.

It's always a good time for redwoods posting.

Happy "dangerous woke shit" memory for today: My kids learning history and geography and earning Jr Ranger badges at National Parks... of their own free will because they value education.

Today's "Dangerous woke shit" memory: My daughter and I marched in protest of Trump's immigration "policy" last time around. Today was going to be environmental "dangerous woke shit" but because of Trump's DEI statement about the crash and the plan to open Guantanamo Bay for "illegals"...

I took this photo during last year's Lunar New Year festival. This is one of the largest "human migrations" in the world, where people return home to celebrate the New Year, and yet just outside of San Francisco, most of the people in my community have no idea what or when it is.

Just found this picture from Dec 2023 of the redwoods in a winter fog. It was a beautiful drive through the park that day.
