A sunset sky with pink and orange clouds over a small landscape of trees, a communication tower, and part of a stone building with a metal roof and a grated window on the right side.

A wide grassy field at sunset with dry, golden-brown grass in the foreground, a line of leafless trees in the middle, and an industrial building with a tall smokestack in the distance under a mostly clear sky with orange and purple hues.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good.

Looking across sand towards the hills overlooking the ocean, there is mist rolling in. Two people walking along the shore look like small black specks in the distance. A close up of sand ripples Sand ripples across the center of the photo. The sand above and below the ripples looks smooth. A beach at low tide. The sand and water creates a drastic contrast in black and white. In the distance are rounded bluffs, and a pine tree is peeking in from the foreground

A cityscape of downtown San Antonio with a mix of modern and historic buildings under a clear blue sky, viewed from a balcony with white railing, with a parking area in the foreground.

A large outdoor art panel mounted on a stone wall in downtown San Antonio. The artwork shows a stylized Black woman against a deep green background, her eyes closed and head tilted slightly, with a calm, reflective expression. Her body is partially formed by clusters of colorful flowers—pinks, blues, whites, and yellows—wrapping around her shoulders, torso, and hips like a living garden. The lower half fades softly into the background, giving the figure a floating, dreamlike quality. Text at the bottom reads: “Claudette Hopkins, Garden Dreams, 2023,” with logos for Centro San Antonio and a public art initiative.

I’m convinced that there’s some form of universal law that says you can find a Walmart employee in any department except the one you are shopping in

I loved visiting Austin for a wedding a few weeks ago. Something from someone coming from San Antonio, I love the buildings and variety of designs (even if the outsides are mostly glass and steel) of modern architecture that downtown SA doesn’t have for the most part
A street-level view from downtown Austin, looking up at sleek high-rise buildings with glass facades. The closest tower has rust-colored paneling at its base that breaks up the otherwise reflective glass walls. Surrounding it are more modern towers, all casting reflections off each other. The sky is partly cloudy but bright, and sunlight catches off the metal and glass. At street level, a bike cop crosses the road while cars wait at a light. Street signs mark this as the corner of 5th Street and Colorado. Classic downtown energy—dense, vertical, and always moving. Looking down from the upper levels of the Austin Public Library’s open atrium. Below, several floors are connected by wide wooden stairs and glass railings. Near the tall glass wall, booths are filled with people reading or chatting, and bright colored panels—reds, blues, yellows, oranges—hang in front of the windows like stained glass. Outside, city streets and buildings peek through. To the right, more seating areas, people lounging, and part of a spiral staircase. Clean lines, bold colors, and natural light make the whole space feel wide open and full of movement. Inside the City of Austin’s government building downtown. The space is tall and angular, with textured limestone walls and a dramatic ceiling made of warm-toned copper panels. Recessed orange lighting runs in lines along the ceiling, giving the space a sharp, modern look. A Progress Pride Flag with an intersex circle hangs over a central concrete balcony. Below it, the lobby is full of people—some seated, others walking or standing in line. Art hangs on the walls, and natural light from the far entrance brightens the stone and metal textures. The whole place feels active but grounded, like it’s meant for real people to gather and move through.

I double check the opening hours for a store to make sure I’m not too early to walk in.

We are not the same

Having become a non-smoker/non-vaper has greatly increased my sense of smell. I honestly forgot I could smell this much.

Venture beyond mobile reception to liquid reception We went to the Uvas Canyon County Park in Morgan Hill, located in the southern part of the San Francisco Bay Area, California. The creek currently is a lot of water because of extended rain. This is a waterfall at the Swanson Creek. -- ƒ/16, 50 mm, 6 sec, ISO 50, Sony A7 II, Canon 50mm f0.95 "Dream Lens", CC BY-NC-SA 4.0, © Peter Thoeny, @Quality HDR Photography

I love coming back to Denman whenever I can. It’s nice little park inside of #SanAntonio that doesn’t quite match the surrounding area so it can be a bit surprising to find if you’re just wandering around 😅
A tranquil scene from Denman Estate Park in San Antonio, Texas. At the center is a traditional Korean-style pavilion with a curved black tiled roof and red columns, located near the edge of a calm pond. The structure is surrounded by a mix of tall trees, some with fresh spring leaves and others still bare, indicating early spring. The pavilion is reflected in the water below, and a dirt path winds behind it, partially hidden by the trees. The sky is mostly cloudy with patches of blue visible, adding to the peaceful, quiet atmosphere of the park. No people are present in the image. At Denman Estate Park in San Antonio, I’m standing behind my girlfriend as she faces a striking Korean-style pavilion. The structure is perched near the edge of a pond, elevated by a short stone platform with steps leading up to it. Deep red columns support a dark tiled roof with elegantly curved edges, and every beam is covered in intricate green, gold, and black patterns. A chain barrier surrounds the steps, with a plaque and a small sign posted at the base. The scene is calm—trees surround us, some reflecting in the water, and the cloudy sky adds a soft light to everything.

Finishing up one book and starting the next. Feeling pretty good about actually finishing a whole notebook. Kinda sad to no longer carry that old book around but I’m excited for a new start.
