I started today with a hippie speedball via chocolate cover d espresso beans and THC tincture, took a big nap wherein I had a nightmare that the military came to collect me, woke up to repeat the cannabis+caffeine combo, and now anticipating Toppers. Happy inauguration day to those that commiserate.

I could really use an extra 8 days this week to be ready to have fun weekend plans. Today feels like a gauntlet.

I’ve lived in Alaska for 44 years and have taken a half-dozen trips to Denali. We drove up to Talkeetna and Byers Lake on Monday. I have never seen Denali so spectacular.

The small Alaska community of 'Talkeetna' is unincorporated, with a population a little over 1000 people. They have a Community Council and an honorary Mayor.
From 1997-2017, that Mayor was Stubbs, a tailless orange cat. Stubbs' duties: overseeing operations at a general store, greeting tourists.

Day 21 of posting cool mushrooms every day:
The Bleeding Tooth fungus (Hydnellum peckii) has both teeth on its underside and "blood" on its top!
The "blood" is extracellular fluid, which is squeezed out when the fungus absorbs water, increasing pressure until the red fluid is squeezed out!

I aspire to be the eccentric relative with an overly harmonious agreement with the local wildlife. Is everyone a bit hesitant about it? Yes. Do they think I'm an icon? Also yes.

Being an adult is basically just like Ratatouille except your both the clueless human AND the rat who’s trying so so hard to make him do things the right way and also it’s way less funny

Mental illness really grinds my gears when it works against you by employing its own symptoms.

What bugs me about the intentional devaluing of art by tech is that almost anyone can actually learn how to art. Like, it takes time, and failures abound, but the myth that some people just pop out of the womb with a can or can't stamped on their heads is a crock.
