Happy Valentine's Day from the Shire. Hi. This is me. #lotr #hobbits #renfaire #costume #corsets

All crochet works are kitty tested and approved. Unfortunately, they want to start testing before I finish, and the law of cats now says the project is on paws until he decides to move. #cats #crochet #wip #snowshoe #projectonpaws

February's book.
#books #readitsgoodforyou #historicalfiction #crimenovel

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

Haven't crocheted in years. Using a single crochet stitch to get back into the swing. Nothing fancy, just something to help me turn off my brain and get my anxiety out. #wip #crochet #handmade #blanket

Portland, Oregon 2023.

One of the greatest nights of my life was when my sister and I went to see Halestorm and Evanescence. Two of my favorite bands AND my favorite person? It was the best night! #Evanescence #halestorm #livemusic #concerts #sisters

Today's something beautiful
The Saloon girls of the Black Flag Gang. Taken in Jackson, California.

Trying to find something beautiful every day. I took this picture of the beautiful House of Inanna dancers at the Calaveras Celtic Faire in March 2024. #photography #photo #dancers #dancepictures #bellydancers #ats #sworddancers #celticfestival

The world is falling apart. Please enjoy one of my favorite pictures I've ever taken. This one was at a Wild West thing in Jackson, California with the High Plains Folk and Black Flag Gang #photography #photos #oldwest #highplainsfolk

I couldn't watch. I can't begin to imagine the next 4 years of misery that will be inflicted on everyday people. #resist #rebellionsarebuiltonhope

Frank Zappa predicting the future in 1986.
That future being today, in #America

A warm 'welcome' message for the orange felon 😁

I wish more politicians would say what they mean and be as straight talking as Canadian MP, Charlie Angus...

I took this at NorCal Renaissance Faire in 2024.

I love taking pictures though I'm definitely not a professional. This was taken in Roseville, California when the Big Boy Steam train came to town. This beautiful lady here is a member of the High Plains Folk costuming group #photographer #photography #learning #thingsthatmakemehappy #highplainsfolk

If I was Matt, of all people, I would probably not muse about where kids are gonna be spending their time.

First book of 2025.
First chapters were really funny and I'm looking forward to the rest of the story.

Made Cinnamon Roll Babka bread for Christmas breakfast.

Just so we’re clear what just happened:

Republicans tore apart their funding agreement with Democrats after Elon Musk told them to.

They created a new bill that defunded child cancer research.

And then they failed to pass that bill too.

The world is devolving. Here's are two of my monsters cuddling to make up for it

The Handmaid's Tale is a good book. But did you know that there's a book written by a Black woman about a post-apocalyptic Earth heavily affected by climate change and societal decline. The book was published in 1993, but is set in 2024 following a presidential election 👀 #BookSky #BlackBookSky

Yes, we wouldn’t want to set a “terrible precedent” of knowing whether the nation’s top law enforcement official had sex with a minor.

I recently worked with an 8-year-old refugee who shared with me, in graphic detail, about her cousin being beheaded in her home country. I think about her and her family every day since Nov 5th.

I made a thing. Use it well.
