Action is the antidote to despair, and we all deserve feeling something better than misery.

A panel of the comic strip "Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal" by Zach Weinersmith. The top text reads: Life tip you can do pretty much anything if you yell the right phrase The image shows a naked man wearing a red cape, running down a busy sidewalk, and shouting "For science!"

Friend, I have good news! Just like the gingko, dinosaurs are still here.
A photo I took this summer of many seabirds, mostly gulls, on the beach at Tokeland, WA. Birds are the sole existent lineage of dinosaurs, specifically theropod dinosaurs. Remember, they didn't go extinct at the end of the Cretaceous - they simply flew away.

It looks like my label maker is #screaming louder and louder

An image of my ancient P-touch label maker. The text indicating font size is just a series of the letter A getting bigger and bigger, making it look like it's screaming.

The best way to start your #morning is with some #yerbamate. This Playadito yerba is con palo, aka with sticks. It has lots of grassy, earthy flavors to it. Maybe not ideal for a maté beginner, but excellent for true matero.
A 1kg bag of Playadito yerba next to my kettle and cup with bombilla This yerba is con palo, or with sticks. Low-ish on dust, it has a strong earthy flavor. I like this one and Rosemonte a lot. If you're unaccustomed to yerba mate, con palo might be a little strong for you. Or not, I don't know you or your tastes. An empty cup! Time for more hot water. Pro tip, never ever ever use boiling water. Not only is that unsafe for you, but it also makes your mate bitter. Use water that's around 170°F/75°C for best results.

More dramatic #autumn #skies here at #sunset in the #pnw. I took this photo with my potato phone on 10/30, while out on a walk.

I've seen sunsets all my life, but I never tire of them. Glorious rays like that always lift my spirits.
A photo I took on October 30th of the setting Sun just behind a cloud bank to the west. It was about 15 minutes before the Sun met the horizon. Such glory. Much sun rays. Wow.

There were some dramatic #clouds yesterday just past noon. Don't worry, I was stopped at the traffic light when I took the photo.

I just absolutely love the #stormy #skies here in the #pnw during #autumn. And yes, that is as high as the sun gets in the sky (27°) this time of year here.
Taken at a stoplight, this photo shows some intense clouds towards the south. The sun is about 27° above the horizon at noon this time of year. Zoomed in close-up of these dramatic storm clouds. You can't tell from a still photo, but they were racing in from the west at well over 30mph/50kmh I absolutely love the sky this time of year.

Some things never change...
A 3 panel meme. Top left is an image of a beautiful copper block that says "The Ad:" Top right shows 3 copper blocks of visibly poor quality and says "The Product:" The bottom panel shows someone writing in cuneiform on a clay tablet, text (not the cuneiform) says "Me:" This references one of the oldest translated tablets from ancient Sumer, in which the writer was complaining to the seller about the poor quality of some copper they had purchased. The first known example of someone being dissatisfied with their purchase and writing a poor review.

Time to begin a new #journal. Before I get started with a new one, I like to bless it because the book is not just deeply personal, but it also becomes an extension of the soul.

#witchsky #sacred
A photograph of my new journal, just before first use. It is adjacent to my cool cat pen, two candles and some amber incense.

Every place has its nonsense and challenges, but I do love living here. These windy fall days are divine

Pictured are the #Tacoma Narrows Bridges and #SalishSea, seen from the #pier at #Titlowpark

#bridge #pnw #suspensionbridge #water #PugetSound
Zoomed in photo of the Tacoma Narrows Bridges. The foreground one is eastbound and was built in 2007. The background one is westbound and was built in 1950. Bonus gull in lower left. Not zoomed in picture of the bridges. All these old pilings you see used to be part of the ferry terminal that the bridges replaced. The hunk of land on the right is Hidden Beach. It was very windy today.

Beware of the day that turkeys choose violence against us...

Mac the Mopbot is back to work! Unfortunately due to a workplace incident, he needed new wheel treads. During his time off, his battery went t/u, so I replaced that too.

It's nice to have your domestic #robot healthy and happy.

A 3 panel meme with the title: "How much do you overthink? Me:" The 1st panel is a dude chilling on his bed. The 2nd panel is a ceiling fan. The 3rd panel is said ceiling fan falling on the dude.

I recently got my hands on some hatch #chillies, so I decided to stuff and bake them. They're stuffed with a seasoned rice/black bean mixture, and served with avocado salsa. #delicious, inexpensive, and #vegan. Winning!

#food #dinner #cooking
Look at these beautiful hatch chillies. LOOK AT THEM Wash 'em, cut the tops and remove the seeds. Hatch chillies can be a little spicy, so make sure to wash your hands after touching the seeds. Unless you like to live on the edge... Black bean and jasmine rice mix, seasoned with salt, pepper, onion & garlic. I added a little cumin too. Why jasmine rice? Because I like it. Baked for about half an hour at 350°F/175°C and served with some avocado salsa. Very tasty, about a 3/10 on heat.

Whaddup, ol #chum? Spawning season is here already, you say?

An informational sign about chum salmon, located next to the banks of the Twanoh Creek, in Twanoh State Park. Chum salmon are an important part of the ecosystem, and helped indigenous communities thrive for millennia. Respect the fish, and stay out of creeks and rivers this time of year

I'd like to report a murder...

#crows #birds #corvid #wildanimals #animal
Easily 100+ crows in a field, on the power lines and on the roofs of the buildings across the street. It seems the DOT thatched the grass, and the crows saw a smorgasbord just waiting for them.

Spider season is here again in the PNW. The orb weavers are eating well, it seems.
I know some folks don't like spiders, but they really are beautiful animals and help us so much.

#spider #orbweaver #wildanimals #arachnid
This orb weaver on the porch is a big 'un, probably about 2 inches (5cm) across the legs. It's definitely eatin good in this hood A different orb weaver. This one wanted to block the door, so I had to move it out into the garden. Remember, spiders are our friends and should be left to do their important work.

These two help make life bearable during the backwards times we find ourselves in. We should be grateful to our animal companions for helping keep us grounded to what actually matters in life.

A very handsome void cat chilling on the back of the couch. A very pretty tortoiseshell kitty chilling in her perch at top the cat tree. She's not a fan of cameras, so this is very nice of her to pose long enough for a picture.
