Saw Predator Badlands yesterday and it was AMAZING!!! If you've been let down by the many franchise reboots in recent years... WATCH THIS movie! It's no reboot, it's an evolution!

Trachtenberg is a wildly talented storyteller... a young Spielberg for a new generation.

The #NoKings event in #Ventura, California was a blast! It was a HUGE turnout for such a small coastal town. Here's a glimpse of the JOY, HOPE, and ENERGY on display from one little corner of the event.

America, you have friends EVERYWHERE! 🌊🐬☀️🌴

For those of us attending No Kings protest events tomorrow. Know your rights and remain peaceful.

REMEMBER, non-violent protest doesn't mean passivity. Done effectively, it exposes the aggression and brutality of the state enforcers.

BEING PEACEFUL serves a PURPOSE 💙✊🕊️ #NoKings

Our whole family immediately voted YES on Prop 50 upon receiving our ballots! Don’t wait!

Sharing a little snippet of my morning walk and hoping it brings you a moment of peace. 🌊🐬☀️

Somewhere in the USA there is a Latina Anne Frank hiding from ICE in an attic. 😡

I buried my mom today. She was laid to rest with my father who passed away last summer. He was a veteran, so they are together at a beautiful national cemetery. She chose "we love you" as the message for their plaque so visitors would always have one last message from them both. I miss them. ❤️

I’d say we’re deep into the second step. 🙁

In these difficult times, let's remember to replenish by taking comfort in some of the simpler joys in life. For example, today is the anniversary of Tolkien's The Silmarillion. Published Sept 15, 1977. Yay! 😊

This is Copper. He loves the beach. But he's not the young pup he use to be. So, we take it slow. 🐶

Looking for that last #seaglass piece to bring a little "love" into our home. It's out there just waiting to be found. 💙🌊✨

Happy #StarTrekDay! ✨ At the risk of dating myself, does anyone else have memories of these Record/Books from their childhood? They were the audio books of their day. I'd spend hours lying on the floor next to my little red record player listening. I got bit hard by the audio drama bug. 😉

Seriously! Drop what you are doing and go watch the movie "Idiocracy" RIGHT NOW! Never has there been a more prophetic movie! 😳

This is either really cute or kinda sad, depending on which dog you're looking at. 🐶🐾

(BTW you can post your own gifs now! Game changer!! 😊)

It reminds me of the deep sea alien creatures in the movie, Abyss. Very cool.

Early morning #seaglass loot. A mixture of glass, tiles, pottery, and fossils. 🌊✨

Can you spot the radioactive piece of #seaglass? 🤔

Let's not forget the kids!

For spooky fun it's Ghost Girl 👻 by @allymalinenko.bsky.social and for a heartwarming time travel tale it's A Time Traveler's Theory of Relativity ✨ by @nicolevalentine.bsky.social.

Two of my favorites! Perfect for helping kids beat those "back to school" blues. 😉

If you see this, quote with a robot that isn’t from “Star Wars,” “Star Trek,” “Dr. Who,” or “Transformers.”

Really impressed with my son's early morning #seaglass haul. I love the deep blue piece right in the center. Reminds me of the shade of blue you seen in glacial pools of water. 💦 🔹
