What does a #FireHorse have for dinner on New Year’s, you may ask.
Alfalfa sprouts and a carrot!
Tomorrow we riiiiide!

What a grand day! After my ethnobotany class with #FirecraftNorthwest I went home and planted a Tree of Life. 🥰

Quote of the day: “I love making art! It makes me sticky!” - Maple, age 3

“Don’t disembowel your father” is not a sentence I imagined saying to my 3yo granddaughter.

Star Trek The Original Series scene. We're in a corridor on the Enterprise. Two non series regular crew members are standing behind Spock in a bodyguard stance. (Tough guy bodyguard vibe, not Kevin Coster/Whitney Houston bodyguard vibe). Spock is wearing a dress uniform with extra flair, medals, and pins, a golden sash, and has a goatee. He's looking at Kirk, who seems a bit cocky and is wearing a glittery fancy gold sleeveless uniform. Closed caption reads, "Terror must be maintained or the empire is doomed."

My fav downtown Seattle eateries are gone or private. The whole experience impresses on me that I am priced out of even being a visitor.

First time in three years I am spending NYD at home rather than the ER. #2026win

Comic. Two-column table. Column A lists planets: Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune. Column B has checkmark boxes for whether the planets have rings: the outer planets’ boxes are checked, and Earth has a red check. [Earth with a ring with an array pf points around it. An arrow labeled “Geostationary Satellite Bel”t points to the ring.] [caption] Astronomy fact: A century ago, Earth didn’t have rings, but we have one now! It’s where all the satellite dishes are pointed.

This video of the "ICE" agent [?] with no ID, who thinks claiming to be in the DHS means he's allowed to drive his kids around drunk answers two questions:

1. Many ICE agents probably *are* just cosplaying vigilantes with issues; and

2. Many think claiming to be ICE means they can disobey laws.

A two page "novel" was just discovered written by Jack Kerouac in the items of deceased gangster boss Paul Castellano, who was killed by Gambino in 1985.
Read the text of the novel here in the pics. Best five minutes you’ll have this week, guaranteed:

This has been a day of some awe!! Remakery, tool library, book library lunch date, poetry, glass art, and an anti-Nazi fridge magnet! #TacomaLife
