I ❤️ my hometown.

Well done…

Orange tabby with the covers pulled over and toes poking out.

#caturday means not having to get out of bed

THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION DIRECTED THOUSANDS OF INSURRECTIONISTS TO ATTACK CONGRESS AND THE POLICE ON JANUARY 6. If this is so, which it is, a lot of very good people will be owed big apologies. What a SCAM - DO SOMETHING!!!

I had to park my bike at a traffic sign at the grocery because the bike rack was full. #urbanism #bicycle #first_world_problems

Art installation of a fluorescent tube shading from red to orange to blue with a reflection in the window.

Bronze sculpted hand, clenching, by Rodin

Idyllic rushing mountain warerfall

To Cover The Earth With New Dew. Roberto Matta. A surrealist city scape in bright pastel colors covered with grey lines and blobs.... Maybe insects. Maybe smoke. Maybe aliens.

A few weeks ago I visited St Louis and the (always free!) art museum. So much amazing stuff. And some very surprising, incidental displays, like the reflection of the tube in the window. #st_louis #art #museum #slam #free

US Supreme Court building covered in scaffolding and tarps

I was in DC a few weeks ago and even the Supreme Court building was so ashamed it was hiding its face. #SCOTUS #shame

Was going to get some Caturday pics of him chasing fall leaves. Instead he's spent 20 minutes trying to decide "in" or "out".

So here's some sunflowers instead.

The Maximilian sunflowers are looking up, literally. #fall_flowers #helianthus #sunflower #yellow

Sometimes I put the standing desk up not so much because I want to stand as it is because it's just fun to make it go up (or down) at the push of a button.

According to the interwebs this is a Snowberry Clearwing Moth. Aka Flying Lobster. I know which name I like better...

Back after over a week away and somebody is a little clingy.

‘Illusions stripped away’: What to know about the 80th UN General Assembly Palestinian statehood, waning US support and institutional reform set to dominate the annual gathering in New York.

Too bad this didn't actually happen. There were certainly suggestions that this happen, but it didn't.

The first alternate flight was full. The guaranteed alternate flight is delayed at least 45 minutes. This is seeming more and more precarious...

Lambert is still a shit show. Had to take off my shoes and all my electronics out of my bag because their security equipment is so old.

O'Hare is super crowded but at least they have recliners in the terminal waiting area.

Was going home direct from St Louis today. Then they offered me $600 to go home via Chicago. It's not like the day wasn't already completely lost to travel anyway...

Some kind of interesting fly/moth/critter hanging out on a leaf. #washington_dc #insect

Sculpture mural at Dulles airport featuring odd objects and limbs

They say DEN has creepy art and is a secret alien government HQ. They haven't seen IAD. Actual UFO, alien autopsy hands and a Dr Seuss creature tail. #airports #art #conspiracy #IAD

I say this to myself frequently. Mostly I manage to use my inside-the-head voice. Mostly.

Kite-eating tree on the national mall. Appropriately right outside the American History Museum.

Sporasata @ Del Mar in DC. Not photogenic, but so much better than the deviled ham in a can when I was a little kid. #food #treat_yourself #Dc

Just assume this is my response to everything the current administration does from now on.

Short version: When you provide a financial incentive for putting people in detention facilities, what you get is more people in detention facilities. And somebody has to accept that payment...

So, is the Breakdown going to cover the part where deleting things on the Library of Congress Website doesn't actually change the Constitution? Or why somebody thought it was so important to pretend those clauses didn't exist?

Well, the porn parody was probably all done with practical effects - silicon models, that sort of thing...

Well, now that the seal is broken how do you feel about vi vs emacs? "Natural" scrolling? ...

Henry, July 2025, July 2021. Same enthusiasm, but he doesn't have to jump as many times his body length any more. #caturday #jump_cat #tabby_cat

Orange tabby in the window waiting for birds or anything else entertaining

Surveillance post catted and ready. #cats #birdwatching #window_seat
