Kayaking as mental health; come and escape with me as I give up the search for meaning & self. Be sad & be happy with me. Help one another.

@tippy3880.bsky.social and I have been playing the crap out of #hytale, almost daily, it improves on #minecraft in every conceivable way save for a few - the quality of life updates alone are worth it, but then there's a ton of design/creative options and a vast array of new blocks/types, variation!

Another #extrajudicialkilling in Minnesota, more empty maneuvering from Dems - no progress. Now that the #paramilitary force #trump put into place knows they can kill indiscriminately, even when it's recorded, things are crumbling quickly.

Local river is low, enjoyed a short paddle.
Sometimes these trees and their reflections look like otherworldly alien terrors beyond mortal comprehension.

Winter weather at Caddo Lake; the one and only 'natural' lake in the state of Texas (rest are artificial). This is my banana boat, which is a cheap old town 120 from a rental business that's seen a lot of arses. Built like a tank, reliable & tough.

@schumer.senate.gov Hey the presidential admin of the US is sharing Nazi slogans, orchestrating violence in the streets, and bragging about the insurrection act and martial law - wtf are you doing? Where is the opposition party? Are you going to gain a seat or two come next election? What elections?

@schumer.senate.gov @democrats.org You need to completely disown ICE and create a massive campaign to press prosecution of ICE agents, unconditionally. ICE is literally executing people in the street, unchallenged by an admin that supports it. WTF are you doing? Can you do the bare minimum!?!?

#Democrats are about to make the ultimate and last centrist shift for me - any funding of ICE is supporting the rise of #fascism and #nazism in the US. I've sat around watching center-right Dems drag us to our doom in the past half dozen elections, when and where does it stop?

As a reminder: We are watching historical events play out in #America as our country slides into an authoritarian #fascist #policestate. The silence of the #Democraticparty in the past year has been deafening and hours removed from the public execution of Renee Good - even more so.

Led a paddle; hyacinth up around Austin likely was damaged in a freeze and it's flowing down river in giant clumps.

Stubblefield recreational area is at the northern point of Lake Conroe in TX. This is a type of invasive waterfern from South America that's clogged the waterway up, I'm using my larger heavier boat to cut a path through it.
Remember - clean your boats.

I'm pleased to say the reports of river otters moving back into Texas rivers are accurate. I've seen 8 this year I think.

Enjoyed an 8 mile paddle down the red river from Adams boat ramp in Adams TN; spoke with the wonderful owners at Red River Canoe Rental who gave me notes on the paddling trail despite being the off season.

All adults who grew up as abused children are culturally expected to heal themselves and work on themselves more than the parents who neglected and abused them.
Failing to heal becomes the next hurdle.

Easy 7 mile paddle on the Columbus loop in #ColumbusTx
Tested out a new racing canoe paddle, it was a stress free day of learning to paddle with it.
