Another gorgeous fall day in the PNW. One person really hurt my feelings today, and looking back over these photos, I realized I need to focus on the amazing and the beautiful. And the kind people and the caring souls. And take the lesson the sour pants gave me, and move on.

Rough week at work so I am ready a cozy little witchy book to settle my soul.

They aren’t fancy pics, but I just love how much beauty is right down the street. Gorgeous vistas, eagles everywhere, and massive trees. The PNW stuns me, over and over again.

1st orca sighting was exciting! We left Anacortes and within 10 minutes, the T090 pod appeared. They hugged the island for a full loop and we were able to watch them leisurely for hours. We also saw harbor seals, stellar sea lions, and eagles. #orcas #killerwhales #biggs #pnw#whales

3 orca whales pass by with their dorsal fins above the surface of the green water.

Highlights from #nokings #bremerton today! Thank you to the ppl in the Lexus passing out flags, to the lovelies tossing kit kats, and to the “dirty hippie church” group that kept me company! My favorite sign of the day was the whoppers every damn day! And my favorite car was this blue beauty!

A view from the lead up to the traffic circle at the base of the bridge, with a Pride Flag hanging from a red pick up truck and the crowd on the sidewalk.

A bright blue classic car crosses the bridge with the sign “no kings, no facists in America” on the back window.

We’re definitely in the grey here in the PNW, but it’s still so beautiful.

3 going. Rooted in hard copy. It’s lovely. Percy Jackson installment as a read aloud with my middle schooler. And on audio, the Assistant to the Villain, but seriously, I’m hating it and might not finish. The narration feels so AI.

I still get Trump emails. I open one occasionally to keep tabs on the crazy. Today, the subject line was “I love this photo!” and I naively thought it would be something from the “perade” and I was intrigued… bahahahahahahahahahHahahahahahahah NO. It’s his damn official photo. What the actual fuck?

A screen shot of the body of the email from Trump, eith an image if his signed portrait in a paperboard folder labeled “trump vance” in gold lettering. The text says “Each one comes in a special commemorative folder too! TODAY might be the last day you can buy one. We are running out of supply.”

My sign: We must be resilient in our resistance! No Kings!

A favorite sign: Fascists can OliGargle deez nuts.
