Picked up this cool book from White Oak Books (check 'em out and they are locally-owned) in Vancouver, WA. I'm thinking about ways I can use my artistic skills to push back on all the fuckery coming from the current regime. White Oak Books has an extensive selection from Queer authors, BTW.

Cutting the tree at a local tree farm. It's a Fraser fir...they are hard to come by, but Tappan's Tree Farm near Battle Ground has them!

I sometimes do. This day, I was just hiking. I did find a few chanterelles and I did scoop those up!
