Sigh. There's always that one tomato.
Photo shows a small plate piled high with green late-season tomatoes, some of them showing signs of ripening. In the foreground, on the front edge of the plate, is a bright red tomato that looks like a butt.

Oh my fox, my former dojo (sort of, long story) made a Catbus for Halloween ❤️
Photo shows a big multi person Miyazaki Catbus costume (in the mode of dragon dancing but, er, less flexible) being 'driven' through an indoor post-industrial studio space.

Some very strong Halloween decorations this year. 😱
Photo shows a second-story casement window, thrown wide open; the Eye of Sauron is very convincingly projected onto dark curtains within.

Early sign game at the Boston protest is strong.
Photo shows a row of people sitting down on the subway. Three protest signs are propped in front of them: one reads NO ICE with a picture of melting ice-cubes, one reads Hands Off Our Democracy, one reads Judged By Appearance, Detained Without Cause, This Is Fascism.

I absolutely cannot get an action shot because a.) they are too fast for my camera and b.) I am too busy laughing to even try. But you can extrapolate from this picture.
Photo shows a tall golden-brown hound mix standing next to a little black-and-grey merle beagle mix with brown points. He is a lot bigger than she is. She doesn't seem intimidated.
