Some weird orange fungus growing on a dead stump. It was about the size of my little pinky nail. #pnw

It's Election Day. Remember to vote. Also spread the news that we vote with our dollars and Nov. 25th - Dec. 2 is blackout the system. Plus we are having a no corporate Christmas.

Churches- it's time for y'all to work for your tax exemptions.
If I don't see a food pantry or something equivalent I'm gonna make a phone call to the man upstairs. He owes me.
Some churches are amazing and do provide to their parish and the community, but I've seen plenty who don't.

It's National Cat Day. Here are my cats. Photo taken about 5 years ago. Ginger cat is still ginger and needy. The floofy black and white cat is needier than she used to be. They both like to bask in the sunlight, but our new home doesn't have a good basking window.

Deleting IG was fantastic! I still have fb for my buy nothing groups- but it's not on my phone. I have to go upstairs and get on my computer for that. So much better that way.

I'm covered in paint from making a haunted castle set for a disabled goat's halloween pen and I'm just really content that this is where my life has ended up.

October in the PNW. I absolutely love it. Now going to read a chapter on soil science.

He's got a chunk of the gerrymandered Austin. He was my rep before I moved out of Texas. Awful guy.

I'm so proud of my small town showing up yestersay at rhe no kings protest!!

Small rural areas also showed up! My rural area in the PNW was representing

I suffer from chronic migraines and headaches. Horrible.

I'm a bit concerned by the Washington State ballot measure- if long-term care should be invested. On the surface level, I thought it was ok. But... who is in charge of investing this? Who wants this money? Too sketchy for me #politics

When I see a photo nowadays, my first thought is: is this AI? Especially when it seems unbelievable. Especially on social media. I hate this.

It's been almost a week since I watched Avatar the Last Airbender for the first time.
It came out when I was in college, so it was never on my radar. I saw it here and there, confused it with a movie bearing a similar name.
It might be my personality for the next few months.

Austin can do better! Channel Leslie's spirit!

Joined the foray today with my local mycology group. We got a few porcinis! #pnw

PNW baking. Apparently I didn't need as much water. Next time I'll use a scale. Flattest baguette I've ever made. First baguette I've ever made but still expected perfection.

I'm out of the loop, why was Link banned?

Writing by the river this evening. Need to take advantage of the sunlight. Pictured is the Kaweco student fountain pen, with an orange cap. Drinking some mint tea.

My $3 planner from dollar general has exactly what I like AND the paper is surprisingly good quality. Meanwhile, the $20+ planners I've found are more annoying and the paper cannot withstand my FP ink. Though I know with hobonochi it will be high quality. It's really all about what you prefer.

How about a giveaway?

I have two copies of my cosy neurodivergent adventure Magic, Maps, and Mischief to send to two people!

All you need to do is follow me and Repost this. Simple!

I'll do the draw on Wednesday October 1st - good luck 🤞😁

Yes! I grew them in containers, regular soil- nothing special, and occasionally watered them.

I grew lentils!! I'm going to wait a little bit longer to let them mature/age/cure before eating them. First time lentil grower and I am going off hopes and dreams here. #pnwgardening

My tomato harvest! I had no idea they would produce so well in late summer/early fall. I have two different variants of rhe hello, two different from the red. Some accidental harvests (looking at you onion). #pnwgardening #pnw

Air pollution is so bad! It's been linked to so many chronic health issues. From obesity to heart disease.

Today I learned that "wild caught" salmon is often farmed.
The burden on consumers is overwhelming. Even when you try to do well you are still being intentionally misled. #pnw

Photos from my most recent hike in the PNW! Lots of mushrooms. We even found a lobster mushroom!! #PNW #foraging

I hope this is just deer droppings. Anyone know in the PNW? I'm a size 11 in women's shoes for reference in the second photo. #pnw #biology
