Orange light seeps through dusky purple clouds, reflecting on the Puget sound water below. The viewer looks at the scene over the tops of big city buildings to the water and mountains fading into the misty sunset.

What a beautiful sunset.

Dealing with back pain by trying to come up with a pattern for a crochet fox. Really happy with the head, and leaning towards the more teardrop body shape. 🧶

Though I might redo the body again to fix the white; it's getting twisted somehow.

Rude Rude or impolite, including crude language and disrespectful comments, without constructive purpose. Highlighted Off, darkened Warn, and darkened Hide buttons.

If you aren't seeing skeets from some of your fave people, they might have been labeled "Rude" by bsky mods. Idk what they are thinking, I don't need a mommy to tell me who to be buddies with. Anyway, go into Settings > moderation > bluesky moderation (advanced) and turn Rude off.

this is a reminder that we dont have to settle for newsom in 2028

Can't believe I got 9-1 on Gezora!

What a great run form She Feels Pretty 🏇

That one was a heart-breaker, I really liked Citizen Bull in that spot.

Portrait of a bay thoroughbred colt's head and neck with a little white star done in oils. He's facing right but his eye is staring at the viewer with an alert expression. There's a metallic gold halo behind his head.

Breeders Cup Classic winner Forever Young(JPN)

Wow Forever Young!

Last year's trifecta repeats in the opposite order! 🏇🏇

Ethical Diamond is my Balantina today - a couple $$ on the right longshot saves me from losing all my money on an otherwise terrible betting day haha

How about Rebel's Romance holding onto second there? He's so cool. 🏇

Ethical Diamond looked like he was shot from a canon in a stretch - he just flew around that field! 🏇🏇

That was so fun!

Dorth Vader is my top pick too!

Cy Fair, Super Corredora & Balatina

Great first day of the Breeders Cup, a couple nice favorites and some fun long shots.

Biggest betting highlight for me was Balantina - thanks to her I broke even for the day, so still have all my money to play with tomorrow 🏇🏇

My boy Mr AP did so well!

What a horse Ted Noffey is. 🏇

Yay Balantina!

Finally got a winner 🏇

Balantina is my post parade pick for the BC Juv. Fillies Turf.

I like Queen of Hawaii on paper and Switch in Love is super interesting. 🏇

Mexican WWII poster

This Mexican WWII poster is some of the hardest shit ever

10 little colored pencil drawings of thoroughbred faces in 4 little rows. The first is a chestnut, the rest are shades of bay and dark brown. In order they are Antiquarian, Baeza, Fierceness, Forever Young, Journalism, Mind frame, Nevada Beach, Sierra Leone, Sovereignty, and Contrary Thinking.

Mini colored pencil sketches of the BC Classic contenders.

Sad to hear the Sovereignty is out with a fever, but still a really great field. 🏇🏇 #racingsky

The government of Jamaica has set up a portal for contributing to official relief efforts. I will update this thread if anything analogous opens up for Haiti, Cuba, or the DR

Testing out some new paints 🍂🦌🖌️

I still miss my dog.

It's been months since he passed, but when this time of evening rolls around I still have a moment where I have to remind myself there's no walk to take.
