So what do you say, J.D. Vance? You once feared Trump could be the American Adolf Hitler. But that seems to be the hope of the new generation of Republicans you’ve raised. Will you denounce this outbreak of antisemitism, racism and fascism in your party?

She's baaaack! "Did you miss live standup?" "No, I missed Chinese food." It's selling out fast so make your plans Peeps. This is the third time over the years that I've done this gig and it is the most fun, and delicious. Spend the holiday with us. You can also buy tix to watch on youtube.

Red Squirrels always looking like they're about to politely interrupt

A Red Squirrel stands upright on the forest floor, tiny paws clasped neatly together as if waiting nervously to ask a question. Its wide eyes and hesitant posture give it an endearing, almost apologetic expression, as though feeling rather unsure about interrupting.

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.

Yes on Prop 50! Don't let the fascists disempower people of color, democrats, non white communities by negating their votes. Arnold Schwarzenegger is doing commercials against Prop 50 yet he has a Guatemalan son with his former housekeeper who could be stopped by Ice any time... Shame on Arnold.

Burrowing owl couple-- the male is standing and tilting his head to the side while blinking one eye. Only the top of the female's head is visible and one wide eye is showing from behind a plant.

You never know whats going to pop up during migration time This junior Yellow-bellied Sapsucker caught my eye with its interesting wavy feather pattern. On close inspection it had the barest hints of red on its head and throat.

So, I’m driving along the #WestCoastHighway on #VancouverIsland, #BC 🇨🇦 one day when I make a wrong turn. And this is what I saw.

And then I thought to myself: sometimes in life you get off the main road, even if at first it seems like a wrong turn, & something wondrous awaits ✨
