The Neverending Story, at a sleepover when I was 8. The pacing gave me a creeping dread, and when the wolf spoke out of the rock I had a complete meltdown

Amazing how good produce tastes when it’s fresh from the farm

Did you even go to a street market if you didn’t come home with stickers

Stickera of two very adorable lop-eared bunnies. One (named Oakley) is grey and nibbling grass with his nose high in the air, the other (named Paisley) is a calico brown with pink bows on its ears and drinking meds from a blunt syringe. The booth was called The Unlucky Bunny.

It only took me five years but I finally made it to the Pioneer Square Art Walk

A nighttime view of a crowded flea/art market with tall spindly trees and fancy street lamps

A brightly lit shopfront (Glasshouse Studio) full of hundreds of hanging lamps.

"why don't men wear more color." i only dress for the approval of dogs, who mostly see blue, white, gray, black, and brown in the way that we do, so i don't wear other colors.

My favorite was this boxy yet sleek 1976 Lancia in metallic mocha paint

The brown Lancia between more modern red and blue Ferraris

The front grill of the Lancia, with a delicate filigree pattern, with bright green grass behind and a dramatic blue sky above

A placard in the Lancia’s windshield explaining: LANCIA
1976 Lancia Beta Coupé,
USA Series 1
1800cc Lampredi Twin Overhead Cam,
In-line 4 cyl

Reading that while the "official" unemployment rate is 4.1%, the true rate of unemployment - folks who have given up looking for work or not making living wage - is 24.9%. Which, while def feeling way more on par with vibes, makes me wonder how the fuck anyone is surviving www.lisep.org/tru

Well it’s definitely not summer anymore. Usually I’d be 100% thrilled, but I got zero kayaking in this summer so my delight is somewhat dimmed

Remembering Stella, the goofiest, sunniest, hungriest dog of all. She brought me so much laughter and ate so many treats. She passed away yesterday, only 5 weeks from the first sign of a particularly rare and aggressive cancer. I was so lucky to have her, and I will miss her so much.

Yo. This is the union calling for a boycott. Here in America people like to say "Well I was already boycotting Starbucks!" No you were not. You were just choosing not to buy their stuff. That is not a boycott. A boycott is an organized, collective activity. "I" don't boycott: we do.

Stayed up past midnight reading a horror novel about parasitic bugs (T. Kingfisher’s Wolf Worm) This was a grave mistake, and I have regrets. At least I own a lot of lamps and they are all now on.

It’s a perfect Seattle day out there and the sailors know it
