There are wild irises growing on the banks of the American River near my house and I really need to bring a camera with me next time I take a walk, my phone just does not do the setting justice

New comic book day!

I just recently finished reading (and loved!) Something is Killing the Children and figured I'd go all in and read these:

We're experiencing a beautiful spring in my part of California.

Trying to enjoy what I can given the state of the country right now.

Just finished Elegy for the Undead by Matthew Vesely.

The book was recommended by and purchased from @carpelibrum.bsky.social.

Excellent read, a queer love story set amidst a zombie outbreak.

There's a house in the neighborhood that I affectionately refer to as the Cat House. I see a different cat almost every time I walk by.

I took a short jaunt to the Sacramento River on my break. Quite pleasant.

Took a stroll through the Effie Yeaw Nature Center this morning with friends. Saw some some pretty daffodils.

Loving this as a potential dress to be wed in but I am months out from ordering anything. I hope I can find something similar when the time comes.

The first issue in my comic book subscription arrived!

I haven't subscribed to comics since the '90s (Uncanny X-Men and X-Factor) and haven't really read any X titles in years, but am interested in seeing what Gail Simone is doing with the title.
