We had a very special guest today at a campaign event for @marnivonwilpert.bsky.social - @kamalaharris.com! We volunteers knocked 4,000 doors today (I did 38 of them). Neighbor-to-neighbor outreach works. Doing my bit to help take back the House!

Flashback to when our dog groomer had the worst autocorrect fail imaginable.
Screenshot of a text message exchange:
"Hello this is [NAME] from [PLACE]. the babies are dead."
Response: "I'm hoping you mean the babies are done."
"Omg im so sorry"
"Im so sorry 😭"
"I mean done"
"I hate my phone
I'm sorry"

Astronomers just named an asteroid after 'Weird Al' Yankovic
Asteroid Alyankovic was discovered in 1981 and resides in the main belt of asteroids found between Mars and Jupiter.

Curry stir fry. I haven't had really spicy food for a while, so I cranked this up to about an 8/10 spice level. Mushroom, bell pepper, air fryer tofu, garlic, ginger, peanuts all over rice.

1cc #922: Hyper Duel. Excellent arcade shmup with a high-energy soundtrack that's also got a sort of wistful energy to it. Although this is a 1-credit clear, my score is only in 19th place (!) in La Calice Cup - some serious shmuppers there! I'm just glad that I survived the insane last boss.

Zucchini bread! Taking some to a friend whose spouse passed away this week. It's not much, but it's something. Because sometimes one of the stages of grief is carbs.
Four pans of fresh baked bread sitting on a stove top, cooling.

Hello from sunny Escondido - I knocked doors today to get out the vote for @marnivonwilpert.bsky.social and Mara Elliott. Something like 50 volunteers this week(!) I saw some familiar faces including a former co-worker I last saw 7+ years ago.
A group of volunteers standing in front of signs reading "Take back the House". Several hold "Marni von Wilpert" signs.

Quinoa Salad with marinated chickpeas, roasted fennel and broccolini, toasted almonds. I got carried away with the shallots this time, but otherwise it turned out perfectly.

Little Lucy gave us a scare this weekend when she refused her food. But after a trip to the vet she is feeling quite a bit better.

Today I made an UNREASONABLE amount of peach cobbler. Love this Rainbow Plant Life recipe with cinnamon, nutmeg, cardamom, and blueberries. Add in some ice cream and it's absolute decadent perfection. #veganfood

Just noticed today that the website genomeweb.com now links to BlueSky (@genomeweb.bsky.social) and not to twitter/X. You love to see it! It makes sense. Life scientists have generally migrated off X, so biologists and other biotech nerds are more likely to be found on BlueSky.

Greetings from sweaty Vista, CA! Did my bit today to help take back the House. 39 doors down and then it was time to get curly fries at the drive-thru.

Today at the protest someone brought speakers and music, and played the bass part live. Was fun to be holding my ABOLISH ICE banner while listening to Blister In The Sun (an appropriate song title for a sunny August day)

Arcade round-up: Went to Arcade Monsters and got 1 credit clears on 6 games in all. Here are snapshots from Marvel vs Capcom 2, Street Fighter 3 3rd Strike, Jojo's Bizarre Adventure (and a near miss on Champion Wrestler). Came close on Hammerin' Harry as well but the mole boss was a problem.

Gochujang noodles - using up some zucchini and broccolini and chard leaves. Would have been even better with crushed peanuts on top.

1cc #921: Street Fighter II': Hyper Fighting. Picked Bison and used Psycho Crusher over and over...which doesn't work nearly so well here as it did in Champion Edition! Finished the mirror match with a single magic pixel of health remaining.

Irony of the weekend: I got together to write GOTV postcards with @environmentalvoter.bsky.social . Trying to speed up the switch to renewables and address the dangers of fossil fuel pollution. While we were there at the coffee shop, some volunteers had to head home because of a wildfire warning.

1cc #918: Birdie Try. Finished the course in 71 strokes, with 4 balls ("lives") remaining. This is a forgiving golf game - par is good enough, birdie or eagle gives you extra lives, you only lose balls if you get a bogey or worse. Pretty fun (though not as awesome as Neo Turf Masters).
