Josie left Yellowstone 🇺🇸🏳️‍🌈🇨🇦

Lover of nature, science, literature, art, music and all things that lift people rather than trying to crush them under an oppressive boot. I post positive reminders, share the beautiful places I live and visit, and some of the art/textiles I am making.
The day after signing a contract with Paramount Global, they ended a fantastically brutal episode making fun of the orange man…. with this amazing AI of him with a tiny talking penis. Thank you South Park. I salute you.

Finished my “Yellowstone” hat from Knitting the National Parks by Nancy Bates. I used KnitPicks “Swish” I had in my stash instead of spending money on new yarn.

I went into Yellowstone and watched Bison and their calves today. They were along the Madison River.

Nothing like spring snow in May to make a person glad they just got new tires. 🤣

I have been allowing myself to enjoy french fries when I manage to get through another night at work without rage quitting… they seem to help 🤣 #naturalmedicine

My second big recommendation is “An Unattractive Vampire” by Jim McDoniel. I use it as a palate cleanser between more serious work. An ancient vampire gets woken and learns about the sparkly, shiny vampires that are currently existing and decides to destroy them. Hahaha it’s audiobook is also good.

I highly recommend “Dodger” by Terry Pratchett. It is one of his non-Discworld books, takes place in Dickensian London, and is such a good read. It’s also a really easy read so you don’t have to worry if you have to put it down and do other things for a little bit. The audiobook is also great.

Found this beautiful Red Crossbill pair yesterday by the Rainbow Point turn off north of West Yellowstone, MT

Hank’s tutorial on avoiding being killed by animals in Yellowstone is my favourite. Hank Patterson is a left leaning fishing guide and deserves some love over on IG.

Something hopeful about a meadowlark’s sunrise song.

The Greater Sage Grouse Lek is on in eastern Idaho. Volume up for hilarious sound. It’s wild what some guys do to catch a girl.

My night is always a little better when Mr Fox stops by on his patrol.

Good morning Bluesky. Careful driving and sledding out there! We got a nice layer of ice under this. Definitely avalanche danger today.

Anyone thinking about a new credit card, recommend avoiding Merrick Bank. They just almost doubled the annual fees. I got this email today. “Opting out” by closing your account doesn’t actually stop you from being charged the extra.
