My first Phish show in 30 years! Got to dance a bit 🥰 Good vibes and phrends 💙🎶
The Mothership, aka the Hampton VA Coliseum, with huge lines of phisheads waiting outside to get inside on a lovely, warm late-summer day. The Coliseum is a round venue with diamond shaped panels that make it look like a spaceship so Phish fans call it the Mothership.

I was canvassing the other day and we were followed off the property by some fowl folk and a real turkey 🦃😊🐓💙🦆 #EARLYVOTINGSTARTSTODAY #VA #VOTE
A flock of chickens led by a white turkey stand on the wooden steps of a porch A duck family guard the lawn area, with penned goats in the background This turkey followed us to the car and the hens followed him, lol! The canvasser helping me had to chase them away and guide me out. The people weren't home, but their home was well guarded.

Beautiful day in Williamsburg ✊ @wjccindivisible.bsky.social #Indivisible #LaborDay #WorkersOverBillionaires #Resist #Persist #VOTE
Photo of the Williamsburg/JCC INDIVISIBLE table in front of James City County courthouse with a large sign that reads AMERICANS AGAINST OLIGARCHY. Billowing clouds and tall flag poles with the USA flag and the Commonwealth of Virginia flag make a noce background. Protestors also hold many other signs including "Good Trouble Lives On" with a picture of the late great John Lewis, and another says "Honk 4 Normal". We got a lot of honks ;) My obligatory sweaty selfie with the JCC courthouse and fellow protestors behind me. I wear a black tee-shirt that reads Black History Matters and a pin that says We Need Diverse Books. A crowd shot only showing a third of the crowd, but including our flag dancer who did such a good job spinning and waving a large flag pole. Sign that reads "Honk if UR NOT in the Epsrein Files". Taķen at the separate event with Historic Triangle Democrats after the protest.

Pretty graphic heart made of blue flowers and butterflies at the top and yellow ones at the bottom like the Ukraine flag 🇺🇦. Words under heart read "I stand with Ukraine " Pink graphic with roses and other flowers frame the words "Sending You Love Because What A Shit Show"

VIRGINIA 68th District delegate candidate Elaine Walters joins local Democrats in the Gloucester Courthouse historic circle for the July 17th Good Trouble rally. One sign reads "Liberty and Justice for All" with several shades of paper dolls holding hands pasted below the words. Another sign reads: Fighting 4 - K-12 FUNDING -Social security - Veterans Rights - Medicare/Medicaid - Civil Rights - OUR FUTURE Me taking a sweaty selfie with Virginia House Delegate candidate Elaine Walters at our local Good Trouble Rally. My black t-shirt reads Black History Matters, but it's flipped so hard to read. Behind us is one of the 400 year old historic buildings in the Gloucester Courthouse circle.

A couple of American citizens enjoying the right to peacefully assemble, wearing red white and blue, and making #GoodTrouble in honor of Rep. JOHN LEWIS who passed on July 17 2022. Sign held up in front of them has a quote in large blue letters: "Protest is an act of Love not an act of Anger."- U.S. Rep John Lewis Me wearing my "Black History Matters" t-shirt and holding the cardboard sign I made in the car that reads "GOOD TROUBLE". We assembled in the 400 yo historic courthouse circle in Gloucester County, VA and I am beside the old brick wall. There is also a lot of greenery surrounding me on this lovely summer day

#RVA #NoKings #persist #resist
Nicely constructed sign at Richmond No Kings rally. Woman holding it used what looks like a small hula hoop spray painted red, with a large photo of "King Trump" in center and red tape crossing out the pic. Thought she did a good job! Sign made to look similar to Pink Floyd's album cover of The Wall. Reads: "TRUMP, You're Just another Prick with No Wall". Taken at Richmond, Virginia No Kings march Sign reads " If DOGE were any good they would have cut your stupid parade. U R POSUS" Couple guys in the fountain holding a USA flag at Kanawha Plaza at end of the march

Here I am, in the wild aka B&N, fangrrling over @maggiestiefvater.bsky.social one of my favorite writers. Can't wait to read her newest novel #TheListeners She's extremely cool and liked my @jamesriverwriters.bsky.social shirt! Plus I got a dachsund pic😊 📚💙 #booksky #writers #books
Author Maggie Stiefvater sits at a table in Barnes and Noble. She's wearing a black buttonup shirt and nice red cuff bracelet. Her newest book The Listeners is on display behind her as well as others of her popular books. I am standing in front of the table smiling as I gush over her books and confess I haven't written in months. She asked if I write because I am wearing a James River Writers shirt and she commented on it because she has been a past conference guest. Maggie Stiefvater signs a copy of The Scorpio Races which is an absolutely awesome book imo. On the table is also her newest novel The Listeners which she is on tour for now.

Some recent pix of our lovely Earth
My photo of waters and grasses in Tamoka State Park in Florida A little white heron runs through the waves lapping the sands of Ormond Beach, Florida. Sunset in Key West. Taken from the port at Mallory Square so rails are in foreground of a lovely shot of the sun right behind a copse of trees on the water as 2 sailboats approach in distance.
