Proof of life! (Tho RIP my hair 🥴💀)

Covid-safer #LiveMusic is alive & well in #Seattle. So many fab folks in mask chains, #covidcautious musicians, new friends (tho no new housemate leads!) - not bad for an insomnia/Bad Body Day.

@cleanairevents.bsky.social ftw! Looking forward to November's. 🍂✨️🍁
2 adults and a kid pose in a photo booth wearing respirator masks. The kid is wearing a black t-shirt with CLEAN AIR EVENTS / GATHER SAFER on the front. Miles is on the right, wearing a black respirator, Maclom X glasses, black and white shirt collar style choker, and a white tee with grey design partially obscured by a black v-neck sweater. Both adults flank the tweenage kid, and are flashing milleneal style peace signs

Still looking for a #covid-cautious housemate in Seattle! Bonus of doing this now: patio meetup and space tour comes with garden treats.
A hand holds 2 medium size yellow tomatoes in front of the plant they were harvested from. A huge tomatillo plant in a large wooden planter drips with golf ball sized fruit. A cluster of 3 small orange Sungold cherry tomatoes ripen on the vine. Through a trellis fence, a sprawling raspberry bush displays ripening fruit.

Updates: the room is empty with carpets cleaned and almost ready for move-in, and there's photos of it on the new CL ad! #CovidCautious #CovidConscious #StillCoviding #COVID #CommunityCare

A built-in armoire with 4 drawers, below and a 3 shelf cabinet above, and closet, stand prominent in the center, with a square light fixture in the center of the room's ceiling visible in the upper right corner of the image.

Hey #covidcautious Bluski - what are the good hashtags for us these days? I have an open room in a 2 person community house in N #Seattle I'd love to get more community eyes on!
A tomato grows up a small bamboo stake next to a hugel mound. In the background is an arbor over a park bench to the right, and front stoop of a small blue and white house with railing and hanging planters visible, bursting with bright nasturtium flowers.

A round wood dining table with a candle in the center sits in front of a tall credenza. Image description: a patio table sits on a sunny patio, in front of large rolling metal planters with trellisses, large wooden planter boxes, and a tall elderberry shrub flirting with a window. A patio heater stands by the table. Image description: a large group of masked concertgoers sit on the shady lawn enjoying a backyard lawn concert.

Shechechianu time. No feeling like finally completing your very first seed starting setup and having tomatoes sprouting in only 5 days! 🤩😭🥹🌱
a closeup image of a tiny sprout with 2 thin green pointy leaves is visible inside a paper egg carton planter marked with popsicle stick & sharpie plant markers, in the cell marked "Black Prince".

Did a little to fight the horrors this #purim: mon (poppyseed), esrog, & lemon curd hamentaschen. Best hamentaschen I've ever made.

4/5ths went back into the shlakhmones black market, but we kept a few for ourselves. Gotta get those opiates for the topsy turvy 😋🤤

Today was the height of False Spring in Seattle. Bright blue skies, blinding sun, 65°, bulbs popping up and everything budding. I was surprised to see these 2 in full bloom already, despite the frigid weather last week! That primrose *survived* last year.

Maybe if that primrose can, I will too.

The birds are chirping, the greens are greener - you can't tell me this doesn't look like spring. #PNW #wawx
Twilight, featuring a large tree close to the camera and a house in the distance, and silhouettes of large evergreen trees in the distance backed by an azure, spring sky in the Pacific Northwest. The birds are chirping, the greens are greener - you can't tell me this doesn't look like spring.

Things are rough, but today I actually had enough good things happen that I felt suspicious it wasn't real & something really bad was about to happen. My partner made me a cosmo to celebrate between meetings 😭🥰

It is v weird having a stroke of luck when the world is this awful, but I needed this.
Image description: a pink liquid (cosmo, a cocktail) in a small, adorable mason jar on a messy white desk with various objects on it -glasses, batteries, highlighter, nail clippers, water glass, pencil, eraser, paperwork - in front of some houseplants and curtains. The cosmo celebrates officially being through a massive back taxes project, with an unexpected modest refund check - huge when I got into it expecting to owe thousands.

So grateful for students who are screaming about n*zis with me as we learn about fingering substitutions
