From wikipedia: "A salmon hat is a cultural fad displayed by orcas, where they wear dead salmon upon their heads."

"Bruiser" Whidbey's lone elk, who has the bad habit of tangling with tarps, tire swings, and once a mooring buoy. Luckily there's always someone to help untangle him.

Yes I've found it concerning how there was so much 'excitement' around 45 releasing info on drones or whatever and how many people were like yay this administration is going to be so pro disclosure just ignoring everything else. Seeing Lue suck up to those losers was painful too.

I've found Kelly Chases' podcasts UFO Rabbit Hole and Cosmosis and her recent doc Cosmosis on Apple to be sooo refreshing as an alternative to the puffed up white doods.

A lil' #procreate doodle from last night. #WeRiseTogether

I just deleted instagram and it was really painful.

Ha good point. I too don't think it's UFO's but that's been in the mix in the discussion and my brain is getting mushy

Yikes. I just read yesterday that Washington State is number 2 nationally for seeing UAP.

Omg crazy. Which ferry? I'm on Whidbey

I went down that rabbit hole last night and I feel like my brain is going to explode

Weird they titled it NM and AZ are the best when Vermont and WA are 1+2. Cool list!

Nice! I find the chores sometimes distracts from the despair. Homework: not so much.

Go find a cluttery drawer and clean it out with tea or wine and some good music. xoxooxoox

Thanks for sharing that though appreciate it!

Ah poop! I was so pleased when they said they wouldn’t train AI on our stuff. Not fair that someone else can! This world right now. Sigh

One of my fave old postcards said “would you cry bitter tears… if I cut you with these shears?” With a pic of a lady holding big scissors.

I mean, they were SO embarrasing.

I just looked up synonyms to resistance and one of them is "lack of enthusiasm for". Kind of has a ring to it.

Agreed and PLEASE don't take out those awful kitty hats again.

A medieval scene of a woman feeding chickens and two other mysterious creatures in front of their woven chicken house.
