Go Seahawks! I was almost starting to feel bad for the Pats, but that's only because Drake Maye looked like a sad little 15 year old.

Throwback Thursday!

My cat Onyx ("Nyx") loves to chase light reflections off of phones, mirrors, etc. We call it, "hunting Tinkerbells".

That's pretty incredible. Quite an achievement!

Trump Alleges That Democrats Secretly Paid Alex Pretti To Be Model Citizen WASHINGTON—Claiming that no one would realistically devote their life to serving others without being funded by nefarious actors, President Donald Trump alleged Monday that Democrats had secretly paid...

“What they don’t want you to know is that George Soros and his far-left billionaire friends hired Alex Pretti to act as a dependable, beloved pillar of his community for decades,” said President Donald Trump

No more funding appropriations for DHS. Patty Murray has made a public statement in opposition, and I eagerly await the same from your office. This is a red line.

Thank you! I really enjoy how these prompts unite the bird nerds. 🪶

There is a local radio station here that plays a lot of that early 1900s hissy music (and it's even AM). It's really nice when we want to mix things up a bit

Great painting. All of those feathers are just gorgeous

This one looks awesome. I really like the music, too. I want to hear it out of an old timey radio

Thanks very much. I appreciate that! It's a fun exercise too - trying to make sense of my disparate interests.

Caricature of Martin Luther King Jr

“All we say to America is, ‘Be true to what you said on paper.’ …

Somewhere I read of the freedom of assembly.
Somewhere I read of the freedom of speech.
Somewhere I read of the freedom of the press.
Somewhere I read that the greatness of America is the right to protest for right.”

Ha! I literally quoted this about an hour ago.

Thank you! I appreciate that. I've been working on it for a while 🙂
