California, this November 4th, the whole country is counting on you.

Prop 50 puts our elections back on a level playing field, preserves independent redistricting over the long term, and lets the people decide.

So return your ballot today. Vote yes on 50.

Monday has never defeated you before, and it will not today.

Affirmation Coyote knows this.

A coyote in high grass, staring directly at the camera, an enigmatic but benign expression on its face.

It gaze penetrates your soul, seeing the true depth of character you posses, and the presence of an invincible summer which can inspire all around you and illuminate the world if you only recognize it within you and have the courage to let it shine.

Happy belated 1st birthday (yesterday) to my funny, spirit lifting, bundles of joy… Mavis and Rita 🥰❤️

I miss having 9 dogs running around my kitchen but I’m thankful that many of the pup’s new owners have kept me updated on their progress 👌🥰

Happy Monday ❤️

Today is Indigenous Peoples Day – a time to honor the 11 sovereign Tribal Nations and robust urban Native communities that continue to enrich our state’s cultural landscape, economy, and heritage.

It was a beautiful morning to celebrate on the shore of Bde Maka Ska.

The new trailer for THE RUNNING MAN is up. My IT guy will post it. I don't "get" posting on Bluesky. That's okay. I've seen the movie, and it's a balls-to-the-wall thrill ride. The feel is like a modern-day DIE HARD.

I never realized she was in some amazing movies, #Godfather aside. She voiced Dory's mother on #FindingDory! And that's a role she played well- the mother. Rest in peace. Your work is done.

Plague Poems @plaguepoems.bsky.social · 11d

As he came up next to me
in the hardware store
the burly man
took one look at my mask
and asked:
“dealing with concrete dust?”
and though I was not,
I simply said, “yeah,”
so the next time you are asked
why you are masking
just tell them that you
are dealing with concrete dust.
