I run regular D&D games, low on rules, high on laughs.

I'm persistently hopeful, and a bit odd.
The world's full of a lot of bad stuff right now, so I do what I can to add some silliness and laughter to the lives of the folks in my life.

Going through the final draft of my will, and I just happily chuckle every time I read that last line there.

What a world we live in where a lady can be composted when she goes tits up.

No need to put me in a box; I wanna be worm food ASAP.
Text from a will I, MORGAN (blacked out) of (blacked out) California, being of sound mind, willfully and voluntarily appoint disposition agent(s) named herein to control the final disposition of my remains.

Is it just me, or does this give anyone else Brazil vibes.
A still from the movie Brazil. In the foreground, a man wears a creepy baby mask. In the background a man in the distance is strapped to a chair. The man in the mask is about to torture the man on the chair.

This NPR article really pissed me off.

Last April, 28% of Republicans were OK with violence to Dems 12%

Then we saw Trump's violent policies in left leaning areas and among marginalized communities.

Now it's R 31% and D 28%.

But this is how they choose to represent that.
NPR is propaganda, now.
Text from an NPR article reads: Three in 10 people now say that Americans may have to resort to violence to get the country back on track, according to a new NPR/PBS News/Marist poll. To be sure, a strong majority disagree with that (70%), but the 30% who now say violence may be necessary is up 11 points since April 2024, an increase driven by Democrats. The following text is Highlighted: Eighteen months ago, just 12% of Democrats agreed; now, 28% do. But, still, a slightly higher percentage of Republicans — 31% — also say Americans may have to resort to violence. That's also up 3 points since last year. (Independents have also increased from 18% to 25%.)

We went to the new #MisfitCabaret show last night and it was great. My wife took this picture as Kat walked down the aisle at the opening.
The Darling Misfits always put on a show full of fantastic music and amazing perormers, and this show was one of my favorites. Folls even got married last night
Kat Robichaud looks absolutely radiant walking down the aisle at the opening of the new Misfit Cabaret show in San Francisco.

Well, thank you #sfFireMarshal for the last minute problem they had with the grandstand that had been up since yesterday. Pride parade in SF is an adventure. Happy Pride everyone.

Got my sign ready for the #NoKings march in the morning.

The only way we get through this is together.
A homemade protest sign made of wood and cardboard. The words “NO KINGS” is written in large friendly letters, each letter colored like the trans flag. To the right a crown in a red circle bisected by a red line indicating a “no” appears. Trump can go fuck himself.

Without downloading any pics where are you mentally
A statuette hand crafted. It is of a giraffe? Maybe some kind of mutated giraffe? It is yellow with black spots, I can say that. And there is a head; also a truth. But the head is almost like the velociraptors’ from Jurassic Park. The neck seems too short to be either a giraffe’s neck or a stormtrooper. It is a strange beast, beautiful in its way. Some might call it majestic. I call it Herbert.

Lassie used to work for the National Parks for a while.

She helped the rangers keep the parks safe and accessible to everyone. He calls her "Bark Ranger Lassie."

I asked him what Bark Ranger Lassie would do with the world like it is.

He said, "she'd fight the fascists with all her heart."
In this vintage photograph, a collie sits obediently next to a man in a National Parks Service uniform. They sit on a set with a fake fern in the foreground. The man sits on a fake rock. There is a backdrop behind him with a waterfall. It's Lassie.

We went to Monterey yesterday. To the aquarium. I snapped a lot of pictures, but this one was my favorite from the day.
A black and white photo of a tree trunk and part of a second on an island, in a tank of water, inside a building made of metal beams and windows. Occasional patches of grasses stick up from the island and the shore. It looks like a reasonable replica of a natural environment. The sky outside is bright gray, overcast. The water's surface is calm, and reflects the lines of the walls and windows. The shadows of the trees are swaths of black through the otherwise bright clean plane of the water's surface. The angular nature of the building contrasts the organic feel of the tree, grass and water's edge. One speck of white can be seen in the shadow of one of the tree trunks. A single tuft of down.

I love these little fellas so much. They are my bestest little guys.
They have a busy life out here in our house at the edge of the world.
A bedroom looking towards the corner with a window on each of the two walls. The sun comes in through the left window and shines down on the bed creating a window shaped patch of sun on it. A black cat sleeps curled up in the sun atop the headboard. A scruffy yellow terrier sleeps sprawled across a aun soaked pillow the corner of a purple, olive, and blue quilt peeks out from beneath a light gray blanket. Outside, greenery freckled with yellow flowers slopes past a clothesline down to the sea.

In my support group today we shared pet pics.
Here are mine.

The therapist said that we always treat our animals with loving kindness, and we should try to do the same for ourselves.

Don't be mean to yourself today. You're the only you you got, and that you is doing the best you can.
You got this.
A black cat, on his back, on the couch. looking toward the camera as he scratches the back of the couch. His coat has a tinge or orange, his eyes yellow. His claws sharp. A yellow terrier laying on a red blanket. His big black eyes look at the camera with anticipation as if to say "are we going on a walk?" His fur is wiry, some might call him scruffy.

The nose. It’s hypnotizing in its jiggliness.

For our anniversary, My wife got us tickets to see one of my favorite musicians, Haley Heynderickx.

She got the good seats, too.

The show was amazing. She's even better live. And The Westerlies complemented her so well.
It was somethin' else. Still smiling.
Laponds opened and was great too.
A shot of a stage. On the backdrop colorful patterns are projected, purples and greens in dappled circles. On stage are five musicians. Haley Heynderickx in the center with her guitar, to the right and left of her are the Westerlies, Riley Mulherkar and Chloe Rowlands on the left, trumpets raised, and Andy Clausen and Addison Maye-Saxon to the right with their trombones.

This quote has been going through my head a lot since November, but especially since so many media moguls are bending the knee.
White text on textured background with a quote: It is one absolutely critical task of artists and intellectuals to oppose this dangerous political and artistic retrogression with either art that is artistically powerful and politically revolutionary or scholarship that can engage in the struggle of ideas and political activism. We have to do these things because our lives depend on it. -Amiri Baraka, 2006

We get great skies out here at the edge of the world.
When the clouds darken things, the sun can peek through now and then and give you a bit of beauty you couldn’t see if the darkness wasn’t there.
It doesn’t make you wish for the clouds to last forever, but helps you get by until they’re gone.
A cloud-filled evening sky over the ocean with grass and trees in the foreground. The clouds are shades of gray tinged with blue. Bright blue sky peeks through the clouds near the top, with some of the opening in the clouds tinged whith a pale yellow. Orange beams come from the sun hidden behind the clouds.the dark leaves of the treeline contrast the brighter green of the grass.

Childhood summer camp picture resurfaces of the GOP senators at the Hegseth hearing.
A still image from the movie "Race for Your Life Charlie Brown" showing the Peanuts kids' summer camp bullies, wearing white sailor hats and orange life jackets. They are working on the motor of their raft during the big climactic river raft race. All of them have sinister looks on their faces, happily cheating to win at all costs.

The only thing our dog loves more than my wife and I is that little hedgehog toy. Just like all dogs, Hamburgers Barka is the goodest puppy in the world.
YAY Dogs!
A picture of a light tan, small, scruffy terrier looks at the camera while laid out on a gray sofa next to a small stuffed hedgehog dog toy. Chaotic little hairs dangle in front of his big dark eyes.

#SaltPotatoes Boil some small potatoes in heavily salted water. The skins pick up a crust of salt when it's done right. Dunk them in melted butter and enjoy. Leftovers make great breakfast potatoes the next morning. I crave them every summer, but rarely make them.
I should make in 2025, for sure.

Dr Hamburgers Barka in his favorite lounging spot. I love this little guy, even when he wants to eat hair off the floor while I’m sweeping.
A small blonde scruffy lookin’ terrier lies on the back of a sectional sofa, atop a blanket. On the back wall, there are two framed pictures one of a California poppy, and the other a black and white photograph of a shack at Point Lobos CA. On the other wall are two quilt wall hangings the small one on the left looks a bit like a rain cloud.

This morning, the sunrise reflected off the clouds to the west, over the ocean and it was something else.
A panoramic shot looking out from the land towards the ocean, filled with clouds, pinks and purples and oranges. . The bright bue sky peers out here and there. The reflection of a sunrise on clouds.
