Decided to go all in on spooky season-themed reading this year. So far, I’ve read Ghostland, The Hitchcock Hotel, and the hilarious and occasionally terrifying ZomRomCom by @oliviawrites.bsky.social (yes, the cover is glow-in-the-dark!).

Next up, a whole bunch of books about witches! 😁

I would rather live in a world where I don’t have to know about far-right internet nonsense, but since understanding the current situation of our country requires knowing who Nick Fuentes and “Groypers” are, here’s a handy cartoon:

We’re only 3 months in, and they’re already “accidentally” sending legal immigrants to a concentration camp and refusing to bring them back. How long do you think it will be before they oopsy-daisy American citizens in there?

First hike of the year, at the Blevins Gap Preserve in Huntsville, AL!
Looking out over South Huntsville from the West Bluff. Blue sky, green conifers, and more mountains in the distance. Trail through the winter woods. Trees are bare and ground is covered with dry fallen leaves. Shelf mushrooms on a fallen tree. Me smiling and wearing several layers of blue clothing in the woods.

Tonight’s backyard Forest Friend is an Eastern Screech Owl! We’ve heard them many times but never seen one up close. This little one was very cooperative about posing for me, and then flew silently into the tree as soon as I stepped away.
A small brown and white owl with large yellow eyes sitting on a wooden fence.

Show me a picture on your phone that has your energy that isn’t a selfie.
An angry little grey cartoon kitten stomps past, with the caption “How Women Under 5’5 Look Mad.”

Hiked a few miles on the new Green Mountain North preserve in Huntsville this morning. We’re getting a little bit more fall color now that it’s actually chilly.
Flame orange and yellow leaves on a tree in the woods. Trees with green and yellow leaves, with a few paw paw bushes growing in the understory. Moss-covered boulders surrounded by fall leaves. Tree with a diamond-shaped marker on it that says “Green Mountain Trail.”

Hiked a few miles at Monte Sano State Park in Huntsville, AL this morning.
Turkeytail and puffball mushrooms on a dead tree. View in between walls of a rock formation called Stone Cuts. A barred owl perched in a tree. Puffball mushrooms growing on a mossy tree trunk.
