Trailer for Pluribus, Rhea Seehorn howling like a coyote in a deserted cul-de-sac, her insane half chuckle at the end. Yup, I’m in. Just watched the first episode and wow! What a pilot! Now Apple TV is choking & won’t load the second episode. WTF?

"A nation consists of its laws. A nation does not consist of its situation at a given time. If an individual’s morals are situational, that individual is without morals. If a nation’s laws are situational, that nation has no laws and soon isn’t a nation." Spook Country, William Gibson
Audiobook cover design for Spook Country, by William Gibson. Black graphic representations of high rise buildings lean in ominously from the edges, crowding the text of the author’s name and book title over pale sky and dark grey clouds.

The unbearable summer heat days are upon me, flaring up all my chronic symptoms. Resting is non-negotiable so I rewatch comfort shows. Downton Abbey: A New Era was so enjoyable with my monitor on grayscale. Never thought to do that before! Really made it feel like a vintage film.

2018 vs 2025. This is how it’s going.
East Hollywood, CA.
La Reina de Thaitown circa 2010 EL MAC. #streetart #sad
Street art mural/portrait of young Latina woman with her hair up in a braided crown, wearing a hoodie, painted in monochromatic gray tones, surrounded by a halo of gold, brown, tan swirling patterns, and a circle of gothic text. The background wall is also painted with ghostly gothic text/textures. The vibe is glorified and Madonna-like. Street art mural/portrait of young Latina woman with her hair up in a braided crown, wearing a hoodie, painted in monochromatic gray tones. All of the surrounding graphic elements have been painted over, isolating the woman against the stark wall with two black windows over her shoulders. The vibe is vulnerable and lonely.

The mental health walks are still going awesome.

I think this is a Red Bellied Woodpecker, but what do I know? Some kind of woodpecker making a spectacular racket outside my window in Yucatán years ago.
#bird #woodecker
Bird, possibly a red bellied woodpecker, black and white patterned wings, white belly, red capped head & red spot above black beak. Perched on tree trunk, paused from pecking to look over its shoulder, beak open.

I like how this part came out.
#mending #visiblemending #quilting #handstitched

I am giddy with excitement that John Mulaney got another season of this show! It feels like I’m watching something my mind made up. It’s the kind of oddball LA thing we need right now. Joan Baez dancing to Cypress Hill singing Hits From The Bong. I mean…

Sometimes I just work on mending my favorite old comforter cover because it’s soothing and feels useful.

Watching Mr. Robot again. Seems timely.
#socialsecurity
Mr. Robot screenshot. Tyrell Wellick, smug white tech guy, pulls on latex gloves while an older man stands by waiting to take a beating. Text on photo alludes to DOGE, SSA, and DEMS - a stop sign.

Re: Gavin Newsom
Gilderoy Lockhart, a foppishly dressed, smarmy white man with swoopy hair, was the vain, self-obsessed Defense Against the Dark Arts teacher, who turned out to be a complete fraud.
