I don’t often mention this but my grandfather did *some really important things during WW2.

I really wish I could talk to him about the world right now.

Exhibit A: (photo) my grandfather is seated at the bottom right with his back to camera.

*You might recognize some others people at the table.
Photograph from discussions of the Allied forces in Yalta. Seated around a white table with a light table cloth is: Winston Churchill, who at the bottom right of the frame and is holding his iconic cigar; and Franklin D. Roosevelt is seated at the top right of the frame and is surrounded by several US diplomats (unknown by me). FDR is staring across the table at Joseph Stalin who appears to be leaning towards his advisors and jockeying for “authority”. My grandfather is seated at the table directly across from FDR, at the bottom of the frame. He spoke Russian, and we assume that he served as a “fact-checker” for FDR during negotiations with Stalin (this is all unconfirmed).

Stuff sucks. Here is a cute photo of my dog sleeping like a human.
Large white lab sleeping with their head on a pillow. Their feet are stretched toward the camera. They are laying on their side with their shoulder on the start of the pillow; they’re laying their chin on the rest of the pillow with their head facing the right frame of the camera…adorably.

Take about 3 weeks ago near the Capital Hill neighborhood; total hellscape.
Photo of a one way sign next to a sidewalk. On the bottom of the sign poll is a photo of trump with a large rainbow popsicle hanging out of his mouth.

Happy Disability Pride Month!

Be as visible as possible (re: safe) as this administration and Republican Party want to erase you.
Photo saved from ‘disability’ community on Reddit. In white block letters on a black background, it reads: July is disability pride month. There are five diagonal strips to the left of the text. The colors of the stripe from left to right are red, yellow, white, blue, and green. The Reddit logo is in the bottom right.

All the footage from the past day, and months before that, keep reminding me of this passage from Catch 22:
"…the words were ambiguous, realized with alarm that they were not, perhaps, intended as a call for police but as a heroic warning from the grave by a doomed friend to everyone who was not a policeman with a club and a gun and a mob of other policemen with clubs and guns to back him up. "Help!Police!" the man had cried, and he could have been shouting of danger." (Joseph Heller, Catch-22)

🎵 Get up, come on, get down with the sickness;
Open up your hate, and let it flow into me.🎶

On Nov 8, I made this and shared it on punk Reddit.

Still seems salient. Thought I’d share it here too.
Dan Aykroyd and John Belushi as the Blues Brothers. Dan as Elwood Blues is on the left. He is standing with his head tilted toward the center of the frame; looking directly at the camera. John as Jake Blues is on the right. He is standing with his elbow resting on Elwood’s shoulder. His hand is in a fist, knuckles towards the camera. He is also looking at the camera; his right eyebrow is raised. Both men are dressed in their signature black suit, with narrow tie, black hat, and sunglasses. They are standing in a disused factory yard. Their iconic blues mobile (former black and white police car) is about 10 feet behind Elwood on the left side of the photo. The photo has been edited to a sepia tone. In bright white, centered on the lower third of the photo, are the words “I hate American Nazis”. The font looks like scribbled graffiti.

I feel it’s a good time to remind everyone that we are all only temporarily abled.

Enjoying the sunshine, and sticks.
A large breed white dog is chewing on a stick laying in a pile of leaves. The sun is shining brightly as she lifts her nose to the sky—stick hanging from mouth.

Happy Xmas, Hanukkah, Kwanzaa, Solstice, Yule, Boxing Day, and Festivus, ya filthy animals…and, a happy new year!

Love the CDs
Family Xmas photo standing in front of the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco. Me, my wife and dog are on the right side of the frame. We have goofy smiles and are hugging. I’m holding our large white dog, her head is flopped toward the camera; she has a look of indignation. I am wearing a red and black flannel with a Santa hat. My wife is wearing a bright red long dress.

Truly.
White mixed breed large dog (similar looking to a very tall yellow lab) with caramel eyes staring into the camera with a short fat stick in her mouth. Her head is centered in the frame, and you can see her front legs as she stands facing the camera. It is a fall cloudy day. She is standing in front of an old farm house deck in the grass. The background is out of focus but you can make out the shape of a tree and additional building near the back of the frame.
