They can’t make threats and force you to do stuff you don’t want to do if they’re unconscious or dead.

Granted, I liked the imaginary people on the entertainment feed way more than I liked real ones, but you can’t have one without the other.

Photos from today's walk at the Seattle Japanese Garden (thread). I was quite taken with these red leaves, dangling by a bit of spiderweb in a way that made them look like they were falling.

Another image from this summer Greenland adventures, this time during a moody day with a bit of fog, and the signature red sails.

For my entire existence, at least the parts I could remember, I had done nothing but accept the inevitable. I was tired of it.

UPDATE: I saw it happen! At the Birds Canada research station at the tip of Long Point I watched an expert ever-so-gently and carefully put one of these tiny tags on a monarch. Let me walk you through the steps (1/4)
So cool to visit the Motus workshop at Birds Canada headquarters. The Motus community is studying the movement of birds, bats and insects. This tiny radio telemetry device will fit on a Monarch butterfly 😲 #invertebrates #birds 🌿 www.birdscanada.org/bird-science...

I tell people that the problem is not coming up with ideas, I think of a couple dozen of them a day. The real problem is knowing which of the damn things is any good for writing up. Most of them are junk. I have to let them roll around in my brain a while to find out which is which.
Do you have a clever/pithy/useful answer when people ask where you get your ideas? If so, can I steal it?

Walking through a grove of golden quaking #aspens is one of nature's most beautiful experiences, like entering a natural cathedral with sacred light. See my gallery of #Colorado #fallcolors photos here: www.mountainphotography.com/gallery/autu...

Cleaning up my phone camera roll to make room for more. Found some #cloud #timelapse videos I don’t think I’ve shared from June 2024, plus the sounds of #bees #pollinating. #CapCut

Some spectacular #clouds over New Providence, NJ yesterday. I wish I had time to capture more of the ones in the beginning, but I’m in town for work and only had a few minutes to sit in wonder. #timelapse #CapCut
