I've been sick and stuck inside since Friday, but I was rocking a fun look for #Halloween season on Thursday! Can't wait to get out and enjoy my #October again! Photo taken by my amazing partner @anakalypse.bsky.social

I was taking pictures of Westlake Park last week, as they begin work on a major overhaul, and a pigeon decided to give one of my photos a little extra flair! #Seattle #photography #WestlakePark
A dramatic upward angle of Westlake Park's arch, with the Century Square building in the background on the left hand side. On the right, the setting sun sits low in the sky, just beginning to touch the downtown rooftops, casting a soft glow over the scene. A beam of light shines across the arch. Above it, a pigeon soars through the air, wings and feathers outstretched and silhouetted against the lightly clouded, sunset-lit sky.

I don't know how a Twisted Metal show got approved and made so very many years after the last time there was a new game, and even MORE years after the franchise's height of popularity, but I'm not complaining. The show is a lot of fun!

My friend Vicky is gone. I'm wrecked. It doesn't feel real, like I'm going to wake up and go to karaoke & she'll walk in & we'll both howl some Bowie. I last saw her on Tuesday. I wish I'd taken a selfie with her that night. You never know when you're living through your last moments with a friend.

My partner and me, out and about at last year's Pride

Folks were flying these giant #Pride flags in #Seattle City Center at the end of the #NoKings march yesterday, and it really added to the splendor of such a beautiful day. #SpaceNeedle #protest #photography #TransPride #GayPride #AcePride #LGBTQIA #LGBTQ
Three giant LGBTQIA+ Pride flags flying in front of the Space Needle. The Needle is in the center of the photo, framed by the flags in the foreground. A general rainbow Pride flag dances in the wind on the right side, closest to the camera. On the left, just a little behind the rainbow flag, a Trans Pride flag waves majestically just a little behind the rainbow flag. An Asexual Pride flag flutters beneath the Trans Pride flag, furthest back from the camera.

Seen at the #NoKings protest in #Seattle yesterday. #protest
Protest signs being held up in the air above a crowd. Three signs are fully visible. A hot pink sign with black text and three white stars reads, "No human is illegal." A dark cyan sign with dark blue text reads, "Honk if you've never drunk texted war plans." A sign with three stripes in the pink, light blue and white colors of the Trans Pride flag tags. A partially obscured sign with red, white, and blue text says something about having dealt with having dealt with having no kings in 1776.

I'm just gonna post this Wikipedia screenshot because I don't believe most people will actually look it up:
Screenshot of the Wikipedia article on "Imperial boomerang." Text reads as follows: "The imperial boomerang is the thesis that governments that develop repressive techniques to control colonial territories will eventually deploy those same techniques domestically against their own citizens. This concept originates with Aimé Césaire in Discourse on Colonialism (1950) where it is called the terrific boomerang to explain the origins of European fascism in the first half of the 20th century. Hannah Arendt agreed with this usage, calling it the boomerang effect in The Origins of Totalitarianism (1951). According to both writers, the methods of Adolf Hitler and the Nazi Party were not exceptional from a world-wide view because European colonial empires had been killing millions of people worldwide as part of the process of colonization for a very long time. Rather, they were exceptional in that they were applied to Europeans within Europe, rather than to colonized populations in the Global South. It is sometimes called Foucault's boomerang even though Michel Foucault did not originate the term."

Blocked. I'm not taking any chances with someone with a KF display name and hate speech in their bio. I censored the slur, but it's pretty obvious what it is. Fly safe out there, y'all. There are perilous predators even in these blue skies.
Screencap of Bluesky notifications. Someone with the username @ertwsretggwsg liked two of my posts about queerness, restrooms, and bullying. @ertwsretggwsg’s display name reads “KiwiFarms.net” in mangled, stylized text that uses symbols other than the original character to display the words in a way that obfuscates them from search and moderation. Screencap of Bluesky user @ertwsretggwsg’s profile. In addition to @ertwsretggwsg’s display name, which reads “KiwiFarms.net” in mangled, stylized text that uses symbols other than the original character to display the words in a way that obfuscates them from search and moderation, their profile contains hate speech calling for the death of trans people using the same method of stylized characters. Their banner image is a small boy covering his mouth and looking at the viewer next to the Kiwi Farms logo, a stylized kiwi bird, and large text that says, “Kiwi Farms”. The profile image is the Kiwi Farms logo. The bio reads “total [anti-trans slur removed by my edit] death”.

Appreciated tonight's #sunset while spending time with family in #Tacoma. #photography #nofilter #TacomaNarrowsBridges #Thanksgiving #holidays #holidayseason #Christmastime #Washington #WashingtonState #PNW #PacificNorthwest #PugetSound
An orange sunset reflects across soft wisps of light clouds, highlights a few darker clouds, and casts the Tacoma Narrows Bridges in silhouette. On the right side of the photo, a Christmas tree with little multicolored lights sits out of focus on the foreground.

#PikePlaceMarket and its plentiful pigeons during an autumnal #goldenhour. Took this photo a few weeks back. #photography #PikePlace #Seattle #WashingtonState #Washington #PNW #PacificNorthwest #PugetSound
The sun sits low in the autumn sky behind Seattle's famous Pike Place "Public Market Center" sign. The entire block is bathed in the golden light streaming in flared rays through the letters and thin frame of the sign. Cars pass on the road between the market and a smattering of silhouetted pigeons pecking for food at concrete reflecting the rich hue of the setting sun.

A clip from the "Cooperative Polygraphy" episode of the Community TV show. Mr. Stone, played by Walton Goggins, is reading Pierce Hawthorne's will. He is saying, "I also leave you this liquid-nitrogen-cooled cylinder of my sperm."

The #SeattleGreatWheel is always fun to frame a photo around, especially with the incredible backgrounds. I've taken a lot of photos like this one, but when I snapped it a few days ago, I was delighted that a seagull decided to swoop into frame just as I clicked. #photography #Seattle #PugetSound
A photo of the Seattle Great Wheel in front of an industrial harbor background. A very blue sky is filled with large, puffy, white clouds. A seagull is flying through the foreground.

Schedules have been aligning, lately, in such a way that my partner Shaun and I occasionally get to ride the Sounder train together from #Seattle to #Tacoma after the day is done. It's a lovely way to get bonus time with one of my favorite people! #love #photography #PugetSound

Took this photo in #Tacoma last month. Thank you to the #crow that decided to land on the power line as I was staring out at the Tacoma Narrows bridges. #TacomaNarrows #photography #PNW #PugetSound #PacificNorthwest #TacomaNarrowsBridge #TacomaNarrowsBridges #latergram
A crow, its beaked face in profile, sits on a power line in front of the Tacoma Narrows Bridges, perfectly positioned between the central towers of both bridges from the viewer's point of view.

Neat. Opened up Bluesky and this popped up. Apparently the service now has over 10 million users, and I was #2,013,612. Look I *tried* to join sooner, okay?

Summer sundress #selfie at my partner Shaun's desk in Tacoma after a long day a couple nights ago.
A nonbinary person with a beard lounges with their feet up on a desk in a home office. The lightning is dim and moody. They are holding the camera from which the picture is taken and smiling while sticking their tongue out at the viewer. They wear a purple sundress ending at the top of their thighs, purple hiking shoes on bare legs, large round glasses, and a red bucket hat covered with pins. One pin, pointed directly at the viewer, is bright yellow and bears the text, "Reading is sexy."

Y'all. Trogdor first appeared on the Internet 21 years ago today. Trogdor is old enough to drink.

I really need to the passage of time to knock it off and take a damn break, okay? 😅
