New episode out this week! Listen anywhere podcasts are found!

This cloud did a cool thing

My hope for this Flashes app: fewer text-heavy infographic and screenshot type posts, more photos (including of our dogs)

The first episode in the new season of Renoites (the podcast for Northern Nevada) is out now! This is episode number 150, with my guest Ann Wolfe from the Nevada Museum of Art. Check it out wherever podcasts are found or renoites.com

Thanks for listening and sharing!

I don’t have a lot of visual content for Renoites (it’s a podcast) but I need to be active on Flashes if I want to transition away from Instagram, so here’s one of my favorite pictures I took during my year-long trip around the USA. This is Glacier National Park during a wildfire (hence the smoke)

Coming this week, my conversation with Ann Wolfe, the chief curator at the Nevada Museum of Art. They have a new exhibit called “Deep Time: Sea Dragons of Nevada” featuring art and artifacts related to the Ichthyosaur, our state fossil (and just a really cool prehistoric creature). Check it out!

Happy February from Renoites 🥰

I decided a couple months ago I might try making bread. I made 2 loaves and then never tried again but looking at this photo I remember that I was successful. It’s a bread!

Current read. I may use this account for more personal day in the life posting in addition to promoting Renoites content and episodes. We live in a weird place and time and I’m still figuring out how to manage the various ways I communicate different parts of me and my life. Thanks for coming along!

Speaking of the Downtown Reno Library, they currently have an exhibit of photography by Renoites Guest Cesar Lopez aka delafoto. If you go to the library make sure you head up to the top floor to check it out!

I do really like the book themed fencing! I don’t mind that the outside isn’t particularly flashy, it makes the inside all the more exciting by contrast. It definitely does seem like the signage is too small though. The Liberty side could have it high up in one row in a bright/contrast color 🤔

Downtown Reno Library is one of my favorite places in the city. You’d never know from the nondescript building that it holds this lush oasis.

(This is my first post on the BlueSky photo app, Flashes. I hope this platform can replace my usage of Instagram and free me of meta’s grasp.)

There is a great book on the direct connection between violence to children like this and how it leads directly to right wing authoritarian views. Tuberville is actually giving a demonstration here. “I was hit and now I encourage violence and deny its harm”

It’s called “The Politics of Denial”

I recently had a good conversation with Chaplain Chaz Blackburn. Linked here for people who are interested in the topic:
