SEATTLE!!!
We’ve now taken the lead by 91 votes! 🤯 This thing is certainly not over! Over 1,000 ballots have been challenged, so if you haven’t tracked your ballot yet get on it! Our trusty volunteers have been working hard to "cure" ballots so they count! We're so close!

This is going to be a nice evening by my lonesome. Once this fire gets a little bigger I may do some night writing. So fortunate to have these acres of wilderness. We are truly never alone in nature.

Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

This is Adelita Grijalva. She was elected 43 days ago.
Republicans still refuse to swear her in because she is the final vote needed to release the Epstein Files.

Seattle friends, do me a favor and vote for Katie Wilson. I want a mayor who's a renter and transit rider like me. I want a mayor who's actually a progressive like the world assumes we have here. We could have a mayor trying to make the city better instead of cowering to cops and developers.

Decided to use this 1898 grammar book from my mother’s book shelf to finally bone up on grammar. “How fleet is a glance of the mind !” I mean, come on ! That there makes me want to learn about exclamatory sentences !

It’s a weird thing when you google the stranger that sold you an old fountain pen on eBay and discover they are a journalist who is a political dissident in their Turkish homeland. Welp, I guess I’m gonna buy another pen from them.

Just had my brother look for proof of my G-ma’s dual citizenship. Nice that they recorded her complexion on her certificate of citizenship. 🤮

Guillermo del Toro on wealth: "a wealthy man is a man who has enough, not a man that needs more. If you have enough to invite someone for a beer? You're rich. If you have a yacht, planes, islands, and you still need more? You're not rich."

Rainy windstorm. Sleeping is going to be a challenge tonight. I’m not used to the sounds and realities of wind interacting with an evergreen forest. Could a falling tree reach me and my Airstream? Or the new shelter I built to park it under? Sounds like the wind wants to pull the aluminum roof off.

The only truly ethical response that a self-described artist can make. Anything else is a betrayal of one's colleagues.
“I am not interested, nor will I ever be interested. I'm 61, and I hope to be able to remain uninterested in using it at all until I croak. ... The other day, somebody wrote me an email, said, ‘What is your stance on AI?’ And my answer was very short. I said, ‘I'd rather die.’” 🫡
Filmmaker Guillermo del Toro says 'I'd rather die' than use generative AI
Del Toro's new Frankenstein adaption reimagines Mary Shelley's 1818 Gothic novel. Frankenstein was like a tech bro: "creating something without considering the consequences," he explains.

Someone at work left some of those little red wax-wrapped cheeses in the fridge, so I fashioned some of the wax into a crude miniature Captain Marvel (a Little Red Cheese).
