Went to Italy a wine lover. Came home a wine snob. All the wine here tastes like crap now, wtf.

In case anyone here didn’t know, Italy is amazing. It’s scenic, delicious, friendly, and full of art and history.

For the graphic design AND wine enthusiasts out there, I came across this delightful bottle of “Typesetter” Cabernet Sauvignon, yesterday. It was a really nice wine and I’m absolutely saving the bottle. #wine #graphicdesign
A dark bottle of wine with simple, all caps gold lettering that says “typesetter” on the front.The back of a bottle of wine where the name “Letterpress” can be seen in reverse, as if viewing the back of the type that is displayed on the front of the bottle. The wine information is displayed in what looks like a wooden type case, the way upper case and lower case metal letters would have been stored for a print press.

I was sad to hear about Dolly Parton passing. She embodied generosity and kindness, and I wish there more like her. And now I’m absolutely gutted to hear about Tim Curry. Legend, Clue, and Rocky Horror Picture Show are all favorite movies I’ve loved for years.

Don’t mess with ticks. While all my tests thankfully came back negative, the cost of those tests was insane. I’m grateful to be in a position where I could pay the bill without it devastating me.

Watched “Jurassic Park” in honor of Sam Neill. It’s always been a favorite movie of mine and it still holds up. Really appreciated Ellie’s choice of combat boots. They are as smart, tough, and functional as she is as a character. 🦕 #jurassicpark

The neighbors are apparently having some sort of car issue. One kid is on the ground under the car, another kid is standing nearby to watch, and the third just went inside and returned with a huge chef’s knife. I don’t know what’s happening and I’m afraid to ask.

There are few things as infuriating as watching someone who has repeatedly displayed cruelty and ineptitude be rewarded for the opposite. There’s nothing more I can do about it, so I’ll unwind with a glass (or two) of wine and hope karma is real.

I’ve got a cat that will find and chew electrical cords. The other cat will find your last nerve and annoy it. Perhaps there is a partnership opportunity here?

Born in fire, battered by the wreckage of colliding worlds, covered for eons in magma, wracked by volcanoes, frozen and thawed again and again, and after everything went just wrong and right enough, here it is: our home. The rarest gift in the known universe. Happy Earth Day.

One last photo from Arizona at night. I think this might be one of my favorites from the set because in the lower right, it looks like I might have caught a shooting star. #arizona #photography #landscape #night #nightsky #stars #astrophotography
A photo of an Arizona landscape at night with the stars visible. In the lower right, there is a spot with a tail which could be a shooting star. There are dark tree silhouettes visible, some city lights in the background, and some of the red Arizona soil visible in the foreground.

Today is Juno’s birthday! She’s four. According to her, the appropriate celebration is dismantling part of her cat tree. #cats #catsofbluesky

Enjoying some local wine at a cool spot with a retro vibe.
Framed images on a purple stained wall. The photos have ornate gold frames and feature old black and white portraits and photography. There is a sign that says “Giggle water” and also a mirror that is framed in gold.

I think they are already purchased, but we can still slow them down by showing up to town halls to oppose, putting pressure on officials to not approve water/plumbing upgrades, etc. AOC posted something the other day and there were a lot of ideas in the comments.

They say shoot for the moon, but I know it's not really recommended for night sky photography. I tried it anyway for curiosity's sake. #photography #nightsky #stars #moon #landscape #arizona #astrophotography
A night time shot with a moon so bright it looks like a sun. The stars are still visible, and there is a faint glow on the horizon either from sunset or city lights. A bit of landscape is visible with some trees and mountains, as well as some lights from a nearby town on the left.

The Arizona landscape at night in black and white. I love that the stars and the land are visible. #photography #blackandwhite #nightsky #stars #landscape #arizona #astrophotography
A black and white photo of the Arizona landscape at night. The sky starts dark at the top and fades to light gray at the bottom, but there are lots of stars sprinkled throughout. Then the palm trees and Arizona shrubbery is visible, with some sandy ground and a path leading away from where we stand.

Another shot from that first night sky photography attempt in Arizona. The Milky Way is obvious in this one, and I love that I got this opportunity to see it and capture it. #photography #nightsky #stars #milkyway #astrophotography
A photograph of the night sky show the band of the Milky Way, which is a brighter and tighter collection of stars from the upper left of the image stretching down to the lower right. It has some subtle yellow and pink coloring to it.

While in Arizona, we wanted to try night photography. I've never tried this before, but I had so much fun. In this first attempt, it appears that I captured a galaxy (bright spot on the right). Any expert night photographers that can confirm? #photography #nightsky #stars #astrophotography
A photo of the night sky full of millions stars. It's dark and black closer to the top and edges, but the center shows some orange and blue coloring, and so many white spots across the entire image. Halfway down from the top and to the right of the center is a disc-shaped bright spot that might be a galaxy.

Last photo of the Gold King Mine Ghost Town. It was an interesting place to wander around and gather shots that look pretty cool in black and white. So many old things with fun textures. #photography #blackandwhite #bw #bwphoto #arizona
An old wooden barn with some shiny glass windows in the front, as well as some broken windows at the bottom. In the background, you can see some of the Arizona landscape, dry and sparse, with a backdrop of a clear sky.
