I have just arrived here on Bluesky, after what, for many of us, has been a very tough week. The road ahead looks rocky but the Pacific Ocean always offers comfort. May my photo of Point Lobos, one of the most beautiful and unique state parks in California, give you a moment of joy.

Happy Hour Visibility Brigade in Lexington, MA. We showed up after work, grounded in the legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., and committed to justice, dignity, and democracy. This is what it looks like when everyday people choose courage over comfort! Rise up and join us!

Last night, feeling like my head might explode while pondering current and quite dreadful events, I opted to take a mental health break by rewatching Matt Cain's perfect game. We always knew Matty was perfect and on June 13, 2012 he proved it to the world. Special thanks to Gregor Blanco.

We have a system set up to prevent this, and we have a party that has set itself up to prevent the system from working.
We are watching one of the wildest things a nation-state has ever done: A superpower is committing suicide because the GOP Congress is too cowardly to stand up to the Mad King.
This is one of the wildest moments in all of geopolitics ever.
