Small acts of protest are still protest. Not proud of my country and am definitely not proud of being a citizen of said country at the moment.

How far is too far?

It’s a pretty area. Not far from the falls, and Twede’s cafe even serves the infamous cherry pie. I guess the flip side applies to me - I’m in the Seattle area, been to the BC lower mainland a lot, but seldom to the island. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Have you ever visited North Bend in your travels to this area?

When the dense winter fog rolls in, lasers hit a bit differently. Day or night!

My question to you is aside from continuing to fight for what’s right and fair for healthcare, are you and the DNC going to finally take the gloves off when campaigning in the midterms and be out and loud about how the GOP has failed this country? Dems need to come out swinging and hard!!

My question, Senator, is what are you and the Democrats going to do to fight to right this wrong? Furthermore, are you and the DNC finally going to take the gloves off and bluntly campaign on how the GOP failed America? Or will it be more tone policing and virtue signaling?

PNW life: walking down the main drag (Historic US99) of the town you work in and finding deer stone-cold munching on the side of said road.

In honor of Indigenous Peoples Day, I give you “taqʷuʔmaʔ” in all its snowy glory. In its anglicized spelling, “Tahoma,” the indigenous name for Mt. Rainier means “the mother of waters, or “snowy peak.” Finally fully adorned in its rightful snowy white, it’s living up to its name today.

Full moon - 6 October 2025

35 years ago, the country I call my “European home” reunified and became a single country for the first time after the end of WWII. So this weekend the colors are „schwarz, rot und Gold“ in honor of the 35th Tag der Deutschen Einheit (Reunification Day)

#TagderDeutschenEinheit #WirsindeinFolk

Next thing you know they’ll be trying to find Antifa’s secret lair at the bottom of Crater Lake. 😝

Vancouver, British Columbia makes for a great weekend escape. At just over 2 hours away, I must go back again soon.

When the state of things gets to be too much in my home country, we take a “break” from the US. The weekend after my birthday was the perfect excuse. 🇨🇦

Don’t know your ex, so I guess that means it’s you I fancy. 😉

We've had an overdose

Black text on a plain white background reads: “No human being is illegal. America was built by immigrants.” Statement condemns dehumanization and affirms diversity.

Stand Proud, Stand Together

We don’t bow to hate. We rise shoulder to shoulder, unafraid and unapologetic. Every voice counts, every ally matters, and our unity makes us unstoppable. ✊💪🌍

#Solidarity #StandTogether #UnitedWeRise

Reflash to show you’re part of the unstoppable force of unity.

When there is little to be proud of in your own country, why not celebrate the special days of others?
Today we say “Vive la France” in honor of Bastille Day. Liberté, Égalité, Fraternité!

Even though we are south of 49°, the folks at the Shacky-Shack love our Canadian friends and celebrate with them. 🇺🇸❤️🇨🇦

Happy Canada Day!!

@murray.senate.gov @cantwell.senate.gov @repemilyrandall.bsky.social take note! The GOP (despite selling its collective soul down the river) moves in lockstep, the DNC is wrapped around the axle with tone policing each other and virtue signaling. Lean on your party leadership to go another way!

When you’re feeling “meh” about the state of your own country, and your neighbors to the north have a holiday, why not celebrate with them? Happy Victoria Day! #victoriaday #canada

Handsome 😍
