Waiting to get my club back #rctid, hugging trees, loving my cats and dog, hating fascism, racism, misogyny, and neo-nazi scum. Nature created us with the ability to see green because She wanted us to care for plants and trees like no other creature can.
I used to be very selective about when I lit these up, but now I realize that is insane. Do what brings you joy now. 🎄⛄️🦌

I only rake leaves from the paths (which doubles as dog poo removal). Then I put the leaves around the saplings and trees, and I like to imagine that I am tucking them in for a long winter's slumber. 🌲🪾💤💤💤

In two days, I have competed 95% of the outdoor decorations, and 85% indoor (no tree yet, obviously). He arrived from Grandma's and declared, "This is the best you've ever done, Mom." #MrsClaus 🤶

It has begun (in a hurry to surprise the LB when he comes home from Grandma's). 🎅⛄️🎄

The trees are finally changing in my yard. Trying to enjoy it and not freak out that it is so late into fall.

Last year, two Japanese students at Reed reached out about a book they were thinking of writing. They wanted to make the incarceration history available to people in Japan (it's not widely known there) and needed help with resources and understanding the history.

This week, I got my copy. 🤗

Autumn is truly the most beautiful.

The tiny items you sent, @thecemeterygates.bsky.social, are the purple chihuahua with the ghost family, the frog beside the bird bath, and the food the skeleton is eating.

This morning, before the rain hit, we engaged in a very important activity for our mental health. 🍂🍁🍂

The Transition (because I don't want to have to put up the wreaths later when I already have the ladder out now)

"Monetised inattention" - what a perfect way to describe current culture. (Also sad to think about it in those terms.)

Figured out what to say when surrounded by kids - "Bad word ICE!"

Saw an old white dude dressed in king regalia and yelled, "No Kings!"

Some idiot asked "Is this a political thing?" YES, IT IS.

Little kids loved it and gave me hugs & high fives. Start 'em young. 🎃 🐸

Happy Halloween and fuck ICE.

It's really impossible to measure the damage to children's lives - the irreparable harm that we are witnessing at the hands of our own government.

They don't even feel safe to play soccer with their friends and peers.

When this bubble bursts, the economic carnage will be catastrophic.

Had another get-together with some crafts for adults. 🎃🖌

Finished up the pumpkins just in time. 🎃 🕷 🕸

A person biking in the forest called out as she passed, "The fog will protect you today!"

Still not sure what she meant, but fog absolutely portends a good day.

Last year, he was a samurai. This year, a shinobi. At this rate, wondering if he'll be Shōgun next year.

I am always just stunned at how perfect this is. I have not and will never grow tired of it. #IchabodAndMrToad

These were absolutely what I needed to find this morning at Safeway.

Little Baby never comes down to the couch, because there are either two young cats who like to scrap or Haku who likes to chase. Right now, the cats are in bed, and Haku is with the LB sleeping. She came down within 10 minutes. 🥹

Too toast to get out the ladder and turn off the floating jack o'lanterns.
October 19, 2025 at 3:56 AM
I made a jack o'lantern out of snack cups of orange things (goldfish, cheezits, honey BBQ chips, cheese popcorn, cheese balls) and black things (dark chocolate wafer cookies, black licorice, chocolate-covered pretzels, Dots "coal" candy). The stem was orange slices candy.

#Halloween party morning is always full of such hope and happiness.

The AI bubble is going to hurt when it bursts, but that it taking away investment capital right now from green energy projects is something I hadn't thought about. 🤬🤬🤬
