Someone explain to me why it's illegal to give an old lady a bottle of water as she's waiting on line for hours in the sun to vote, but it's totally cool for an ultra-billionaire to bribe voters with million dollar checks in Wisconsin.

If you’re cheering for a South African sociopath to fuck over US military veterans then you should probably stop with that America first bullshit.

The company I work for is headquartered in #Cleveland and occasionally I get to go visit.

These are some of my city exploration #photography in May of 2023. I didn’t take my camera on this trip, so I had to make do with the iPhone.

Cats are such empaths, I swear they just seem to know whenever I'm having a bad day because without missing a beat they’re just like vomit, vomit, tail in coffee, extended screaming, channeling ghosts, channeling ghosts, further screaming…

In an effort to avoid news and the utter chaos that is America, it’s time to share #photography!

These are from an extended family trip to #Maui in July 2023. It was my second time in #Hawaii and only a month before the horrific fire. Sadly, I didn’t take my camera to Lahaina on the day we visited.

I travel for work all across the Southwest. When I get free time - I practice my #photography.

These are from an October 2022 side quest from work in #ColoradoSprings at #PikesPeak and #GardenoftheGods

I started the day too late and had way too much sun, but you work with what you got, I guess!

For all the flak George Lucas gets for his writing, pretty hard to deny the "so this is how liberty dies" line is an unfortunately spot on banger.

Someday, our children and grandchildren will ask us how and why we let this happen…

Let’s make sure that they don’t have to ask why we didn’t respond.

#Resist
This is the cowardice of The New York Times. Legacy media is failing.

We’re gonna be accused of overreacting a lot over the next four years, so let me just get ahead of it.

Fuck you. You said we were overreacting 8 years ago and now women have fewer rights than men.

Me to my cats: I feed you, clean your litter boxes, and have probably delayed retirement to keep you stocked in Churu - could you not track litter to three of the the four corners of this house every day?

My cats to me: We forgot a corner? On it! Engage the shitrakes!

My cat adopted me 2 years ago, and I've learned the subtleties of how they communicate since then.

For instance, when he cutely tucks his head under my hand, that means he wants to be petted.

When he extracts his claws and flays my hand to the bone, that means he doesn't want to be petted.

They absolutely buried TikTok in a Pet Sematary because what was resurrected was NOT what was laid to rest.

We’re about to find out that sometimes dead is better, real quick.

There is a reason TikTok is so good at figuring out what you want to see, and why it’s better than everything else: it’s a weapon, and the best weapon is one you don’t know exists, or worse, one you think you can’t live without

A reminder that Trump, the luckiest man on earth, like in 2017, is inheriting a strong, growing economy with months & months of job growth & growing real wages (even though most Americans don’t know it!), & will almost certainly 1) take credit for it and 2) screw it all up again.

More transitioning from IG of my #photography until I can fully shut that page down because #fmeta.

These are of Chicago in October 2019 from my first wedding anniversary trip. I’m not from #Chicago, but it’s a city I love and want to spend more time in when life allows.

I liked TikTok because I got to be who I really am in my heart: a creepy little lurker who watches everything and says little.

Don't let Donald Trump extending the TikTok ban distract you from the fact that his Administration is about to conduct mass deportations across America in a matter of days.

Snoop Dogg is performing at the inauguration.

The biggest sell-out since Krusty the Clown.
