An owl sits on a power line next to a tall pine tree. In the background, the sky is glowing pink and purple from fireworks

Stepped outside to watch the fireworks and saw an owl! Surely that is some kind of omen

Pride Night at the Seattle Sounders game. The supporters section raises a huge banner saying "PRIDE is still a RIOT. Anti-fascist, anti-racist, always Seattle. Protect Trans Kids. WE WILL NOT BE ERASED". The trans rainbow flag waves from the stadium flagpole.

Took the elevator to the top of the Space Needle for the first time in many years. I'm very proud of this photo!

Thank you! ☺️

Is it weird that one of my favorite places to stroll is the neighborhood cemetery? I've been exploring here for over 40 years and still find new things all the time. Does the fact that this will be my final resting place make it more or less weird? I have the deed to the plot and everything.

Technically this is dressing, since it isn't stuffed into the turkey, but whatever. It's the best

Thanksgiving stuffing made with porcina stuffing mix from Macrina Bakery and fresh turkey stock

Perfect Thanksgiving weather today!
