Even in small-town Texas. Brief bit from the downtown Fredericksburg #NoKings. Full block full, both sides of Main Street. Lots of honking and cheering
The start of a city block, with a bunch of people with flags and signs

Early run for #NoKings day, wearing US colors because the flag is for us (and US!), not a king. Find your your local protest: www.mobilize.us/nokings/map/

Fluffers cam! He's waiting for his bone to soften some

Bluesky now has over 10 million users, and I was #70,105!
A card saying "celebrating 10m users #70105" with the Bluesky logo, my name and handle, and then "joined may 10, 2023". There's a stamp saying "Certified Bluesky Elder, First 1%"

We've been making s'mores dip and s'mores ramekins the past couple days in the air fryer, and it's making me so happy
A small baking dish on a hot plate on a table. Inside the dish is puffed-up and browned marshmallows, under which is melted milk chocolate and white chocolate. This is s'mores dip A close-up picture of the contents of the s'mores dip, scooped up with a graham cracker. Behind the close-up is the same dish of s'mores dip from the prior picture A picture of the inside of an air fryer with a window, showing three ramekins filled with marshmallows puffing up and browning in the heat

Guess what's coming home with me in a few weeks once wheels come in...
A Datsun 510 wagon parked on a cul-de-sac, with the camera pointed at the front right corner so both the front fender and driver's side panels are in the picture. The wagon is mostly restored, and a big rack with a spare tire sits on the roof

It did reduce the onion crying issues, though. And much faster, therefore to this pot of goodness, coming up to a boil.

I have discovered the magic of a food processor, and I must sound like some evil genius, giggling in the kitchen. Where has this magical tool been all my life?

And completely passed out once I laid on the floor with her. Don't get me wrong, though: If I were to say the exciting words like "outside", she'd be up and gone in a flash.

Just waiting for me to finish working

I keep coming across these that @nathenharvey.bsky.social gave me, tucked in random spots in my bag, my car, or even my sunglasses case, right when I need them. Thanks for reminding me when I think I don't have any more fucks to give on something, there are more to be had 😂
A carved wooden word reading "Fuck" in all capital letters sitting on my hand. The wooden word is about half the length of one of my fingers.

Arriving at the airport really early means
1. Waiting in line for the security checkpoint to open.
2. Waiting in line after security for the customs checkpoint to open.
3. Making it to the terminal so early you can wander around and pretend you're in some post apocalyptic world as no one is there...
A completely empty airport gate, as if it came from DOOM or a post apocalyptic survival game
