I wanted to get a video of this ghost crab but every time I got close to their hole they scuttled back in, so I tried getting clever with it. I made a little sandcastle and shoved my phone into it, hit record, and walked away. Crab was VERY suspicious of this addition to their environment.

It's become clear that this administration is just a protracted war on anybody who's read a book without pictures in it. It's a miracle we're all still getting up and going to work every morning. The psychological drain is the point, and I'm increasingly grateful to the people who are still decent.

Don't let them.
For Those Who've Been Told by The Rich 
to Vote for Them in the Name of God

Be careful who teaches you
what God is.
Listen. Those fools
don't care about you.
They make you afraid of your neighbor;
they make you afraid
of your own soul
so you hand it to them,
so they can dance inside their palaces.
They make you think
their ruinous news is new.

Listen. Your leaders
would pass you by
if you were bleeding in the street
in agony.
But Christ—whose name
they trade in—
Christ would stop
and kiss your blood for nothing
and lay down his own clothes
on your shoulders
and whisper in your ear,
as he kneels with you,
Leave them. They know exactly what they do.

I’m still baffled at how America took one of the basic principles of the presidency — the occupant shouldn’t be able to benefit financially from the office — and just said, nah, that just doesn’t count for this one guy.

The cats graciously put on a magic show for us last night. I figured out how they did most of the tricks, but I didn’t say anything, because that would have been rude.
Two cats on a platformed tower. One is on the lower level, head hidden behind the middle section. The second is on the top tier with only their head showing.

I now somewhat regret all my past tendencies to categorize my books into things like "Fantasy" or "History" instead of "Things That Will Give Me A Panic Attack While Everything Is On Fire" and "Things That Might Not Make Me Freak Out Much"

Hello new followers! Here's one of my favorite older comics.
A four-panel comic called Instinct is Weird. In panel 1, a yellow warbler looks at a beautiful nest in a shrub and says "I made this for some reason". In panel 2, there are five eggs in the nest and she says "these are my smooth round children". In panel 3 an egg has hatched into a yelling hatchling, and she says "Oh no now it's loud". In panel 4 she looks distressed as five hatchlings now fill the nest, begging for food, and she says "help".

It’s easy to look down on someone’s work until you try your hand at their craft. I started trying to plot a novel last year. Now I am in awe of anyone who ever finished writing a novel. Like so much respect. I don’t need to know what’s in it. It’s already a miracle.
