Coffee gives us hope for the day.. or is that delusions? 🤔 Whichever, it's delicious. ☕️

Seven months today since I went to the hospital because something seemed off. They were just about to send me home after determining that everything was fine.. and then suddenly it wasn't. Still recovering from that adventure, but lucky to be alive. Trust your gut.

"Vaccines work" isn't a political statement. "Immigrants do not increase crime" isn't a political statement. "Climate change is real" isn't a political statement. "Genocide is bad" isn't a political statement. Stop neutralizing the power of facts by framing them as "politics." Reality matters.

"What are you stopping to photograph now? It's just more trees." Yep, just another tree. 🤷🏼‍♂️ #Photography
When you're walking on a path in the woods and notice something in the dense shadows of the trees catching the morning sunlight, you pretty much have to check it out.

In this case a sandbar willow tree has captured a sunbeam and is almost glowing.

During late September and early October, their foliage transforms into this striking, uniform golden-yellow.

things are hard. there are so many things going on, across contexts – personally and globally. but i think we have to try to find the lovely mundane, joy, and silliness. doing so, in person and On Here, is also fighting all the terrible things, in its own way.
a set of six captioned still frames from the Doctor Who episode “Oxygen” (S10E05). the image set shows Peter Capaldi (a grey-haired, white Scottish man in his 50s at the time) as the Twelfth Doctor next to Pearl Mackie (a light-to-medium-complexion mixed race Black British queer woman, about 30 years old at the time) as Bill Potts. they are both in orange and silver space suits, their helmets currently off.

neither the frames nor their captions are (purposely) edited from the original. a watermark on the lines between frames sources it to https://rowofstars.tumblr.com

① Bill: Doctor? You okay?

② the Doctor (eyes clouded, not looking directly at her): Bill, I've got no TARDIS, no sonic, about 10 minutes of oxygen left, and now i'm blind.

③ Doctor (continuing): Can you imagine how unbearable I'm going to be when i pull this off?

④ Bill: Don't do this. You always do this.
(not shown: the Doctor asking, "Do what?”)

⑤ Bill: Make jokes to distract me from whatever's about to kill us.

⑥ Doctor, asking earnestly: What else are jokes for?

USA: It is unacceptable for Canada to discuss trade with China (or anyone really). But a U.S. state dinner with the president of China during US / China trade discussions is definitely not another example of hypocrisy.

I just got a DM from someone saying I am occasionally funny but often too crass and reliant on scatological humor so they're unfollowing. Turd-gobbling olegenous felch weasels and other Fruit of the Loom shit stains are always spurting Tibetan Yak manure like that. I fart in their general direction.

Autumn is officially underway. #Photography
Photo taken on an early (and cool) Autumn morning, featuring an expanse of evergreen conifers and deciduous trees turning yellow and orange alongside a grassy meadow, shrubbery and bushes in the foreground.

The valley in the background is a dense stand of mixed evergreen and deciduous trees under an overcast, cloudy sky with hints of blue.

This stunning vantage point captures the Elbow River valley, looking down from Discovery Ridge in Southwest Calgary.
