The plant in my cover photo is my favorite cactus native to Washington state! Pediocactus nigrispinus grows high up on the semi arid ridge tops in central Washington. They can be difficult to locate, but another benefit of the large wind farms nearby is providing protected habitat for these gems!

Watch Andor.

It depicts how rebellion is not a choice. It happens because you are left no choice.

But perhaps you find my politics a bit strong for your taste.

Anyone else ever do that thing where you kinda try to stifle a sneeze and your trachea shoots across the room?

I recently found two of my favorite aircraft models! I’ve had these since before I can remember.

"One of the great tragedies of mankind is that morality has been hijacked by religion. So now people assume that religion and morality have a necessary connection. But the basis of morality is really very simple and doesn't require religion at all."

Though they didn't realize it at the time, Mumford & Sons wrote a song about #Luigi nearly 15 years ago.

"Well yes sir, yes sir, yes it was me
I know what l've done, 'cause I know what l've seen
I went out back and I got my gun
I said, 'You haven't met me, I am the only son'"

If I could ever write anything even one percent as beautiful as this, I’d die considering my writing career fulfilled.

@editkrisedit.bsky.social I’m wondering if we have an ETA for the Lower Decks finale break down? Thanks for the good work!

It would’ve been the perfect, and obvious, platform for the democrats to run this cycle but instead they decided they’d rather lose.
Which says, to me, that the bipartisan hatred for these companies is a.) really broad and b.) an incredibly potent political issue for whomever decides to pick it up. Not as a matter of policy, but as a matter of deep, potentially animating resentment
