Many castaways feel they’re talking to a real person. Are they on to something?

Important update: We got Tillamook a gigantic collagen chew, and she carried it all around the house, and repeatedly got stuck in doorways.

Thought you all should know this critical fact.
A gorgeous Alaskan Malamute dog carrying a really long collagen chew in her mouth, trying to walk through a doorway, but the long chew is keeping her from going through. She seems somewhat confused by the situation.

Passing out candy to kids, but we’re handing out White Claw to grown-ups, which is a hit!

Took a little neighborhood walk this afternoon, and this ginkgo tree was in full resplendent color.

I’m pretty pleased with the color palette I and my team made for our brand, and I think it works really nicely in the context of this new solar production chart.

Dark mode and light mode shown.
Screenshot of a card in an app, showing solar production. The headline says, “Your solar has produced 10 kWh more than you’ve used so far today.”, and there’s a chart with yellow bars on a dark blue background showing this home’s solar production throughout the day. Screenshot of the exact same thing, but in light mode, meaning the background is white and the chart is lighter.

Apparently it’s a good day to re-post my sign from the No Kings rally.
Me, at the No Kings protest, holding up a sign that says “Nazis are bad, actually”, a statement that feels so sickeningly obvious I’m disgusted it’s so important to say.

Sign that says “Trans rights are human rights” A man (me) at a protest with a sign. You can partially read what’s on the sign (the full text is “Trans rights are human rights”).

Nazis are bad!

Portland turned out for No Kings!

We REALLY hate ICE and the goons in our city and Donald Fucking Trump.

My friend went up into a parking garage and captured this video.

My good friend showed up in a Capybara costume last weekend and made those ICE goons look so absurd.

We’re going to bring a bunch more inflatable costumes for the Absurd Animal Army. Love to see others doing the same!

You can see my friend in the photo on this story:

Well this is what it looks like when things get cooler and we use our AC less.
A screenshot of a headline that says “You’re using 48% less energy so far this month”, and a chart that shows we’ve used $52 so far this month vs. $100 at this point last month.

It’s not the most upsetting thing about him by far, but is orange-face offensive?
Photo of Donald Trump looking like a buffoon, with his weird orange makeup caked on his face. The edge of the makeup is shockingly hard line that ends before his very pink ear and a pink ring around his face.

Photo of Kim Jong Un, dictator of North Korea, who has apparently just told a very funny joke because the generals around him are laughing like he’s killing at The Apollo, but maybe actually they’re worried about him just killing.

This is Tillamook. Each Fall she chooses a comfort gourd and carries it around with her and naps cuddled around it.

I do want that Milchick snow outfit, though.
Still of Mr. Milchick from the show Severance, standing in a snowy forest in a sexy-as-hell all-white snow outfit. He looks like someone who would take you back to his place with a big rug in front of a warm fireplace where you’d make love and then he’d maybe murder you, but in a somehow-totally-worth-it way.

Sometimes it’s really helpful to have weather-sealing on your camera and lenses.
