My favorite local Mexican food truck crew put up some holiday decorations. I respect their minimalist approach, because their food more than makes up for it. !Feliz Navidad! 🎅

If you want to go shopping this weekend, shop local. I shopped very local, hitting up the native art market at the Duwamish Longhouse. It was busy, and everyone was in good spirits. I knew I'd find stuff with my beloved corvids!

This is my favorite spooky season yard display of the weekend. I got in a brief walk before our epic rainfall and wind storm.

There's no rule that says someone in their 40s can't enjoy dinosaur shaped cookies. If there is, I'm breaking it. I had a long day.

I'm starting to think every homeowner in Seattle is legally bound to display these skeletons in their yards, and a lot of them figure there's no need to only put them out around Halloween. This was my favorite one on my walk today.

I will never get tired of this movie. Everyone is great in it, and the fire effects are still awesome. "You go, we go!!"

I hope this handbook was given to the troops occupying Portland. Some of the trees are definitely Antifa, and possibly nonbinary.

I saw these very Seattle crow stickers on my walk today. I also saw a lot of real crows getting into mischief, as they do. Spooky season needs its mascots!

Friday is my day off, and I treated myself to lunch and a couple beers at Six Arms, one of my fave pubs in Seattle. This sticker has been in the women's restroom for a long time, and I love it. Be your own beautiful, awesome selves! 💕

I lived in Minneapolis for many years, & I love coming back to visit friends, favorite restaurants & stores. Today I stopped by Glam Doll Donuts & the best bookstore in Uptown, Magers & Quinn. I got this cheesy MN souvenir. Booooo! You betcha! And the weather was perfect. 😍

I spied this cool wreath on a walk today. It appears to be made out of slices of real mushrooms/fungi.

In honor of the demise of CPB/PBS, and the years of education and joy it gave this rural poor kid with big dreams of the wider world, I'm wearing my Reading Rambo tee shirt today.

I don't know if this will achieve anything, but hello people in the Waterloo, WI area, particularly anyone who has a PO box there! The handmade Mother's Day gift I sent to my mom has gone missing. If you took it, whether accidentally or on purpose, please give it back to the post office. Thanks! ✌️

I haven't read this one since 1999, & I remember thinking then how weird and scary the thought of fascism happening in the US would be. Rereading it now I feel a mix of numbness & exhaustion, but I'm more inspired to fight back.
