@lukelukeluke.bsky.social I hope I’m doing this right- here are some nice mushrooms! (Sumatran rainforest style)

A supremely graceful friend I made here in Sumatra

My current neighbors… can be a little noisy but they’re cute enough to pull it off.

Watching me.
Judging me.

Went to the oldest tropical rainforest in the world. Saw a stick bug.
I am content.

Not making this up…after 35 days of diligent effort, I happened to finished this Pynchon *masterpiece* on the same day I was reading real life news stories about a 19 year old boy named Big Balls who effectively controls the US Treasury Department.

Had to go back through my pictures but I think I got it in this pano? (it was winter)

Have had shortness of breath each day waking up to the latest coup news from the US, but this angel did come visit me so I hope she brings you a moment of peace as well

Get in losers, we’re posting lock screens.

(not an insanely cool eclipse photo but special to me nonetheless)

Hi here’s a beautiful sunset.
Good things will come back around.

The feed was, predictably, a little ominous the last 24 hours…so here are some puppies from my homestay

The words- and door handle- to my heart.

Though the day is nearly over, I guess I’ll post my own pic.
As I witnessed it unfold, I only felt a deep heartbreak for all these deluded souls- and then a kind of shock that didn’t let me sleep for days.
It was the moment I knew this divide was irrevocable, that we were done as ‘united states’

Worked at a coffee shop across the street from this place for a couple hours today, noticed who came in and out…they absolutely nailed the clientele they were going for.

Some rainy season delight from Ubud, Bali

I’ve been thinking and raving about these street samosas from a corner in little India Penang for 2 years now, and it appears I’m not the only one!
Now fully vindicated in saying this- best samosas I’ve ever tasted.
(And I just had 4 for less than a dollar!)

Even out here there is plenty of Christmas cheer to go around.

Day 3 of monsoon here in southern Thailand. Rain has not ceased; the island is increasingly flooded.
But have no fear, I was able to adventure out for necessities

Just a photo of a sunset- not pictured, but a small octopus played with my feet while I did my tai chi here? Am I blessed or am I cursed now?

Here’s your #cat content, Bluesky- wherever I happen to be living for a bit, they seem to find me and just make home right alongside.

My packing priorities when I leave the states with only a backpack on my back…10 books and 4500+ pages to go along with a few articles of clothing.
Don’t worry Bluesky- I bought them all at #indiebookstores and #library sales!
(Half-way into Cloud Atlas atm and totally mesmerized)
