I inadvertently wound up at Bigfoot Treasure in Chehalis, WA and the had a very fun display of Bigfoot imprint casts. Maybe 25 in all. All replicas of originals I’m sure but really cool and my first time viewing such a thing in person. Not sure why I didn’t take pictures. I’ll go back soon!

Just went to see Keeper because I bought a ticket to Frankenstein in fucking Shoreline 2hrs away.
I can’t really recommend Keeper. It had a lot going right for it but lost the plot towards the end where I didn’t care what happened to anyone.

I can’t express how rad it is to have found a supportive fiction writing critique group that meets in my town.

Really I blame lack of funding for art classes and general under-prioritization of art making in society. Most adults do not have art making as part of their lives so some get sadly enthralled when they discover what they think is their long dormant creativity by dicking around with AI.

Really great video of how real Americans treat masked secret police. The sound of whistles in the background is especially heartening.

Making up the plot as I go is working out for me. This middle grade novel is evolving into a gripping supernatural thriller. If I had tried to figure it all out before
hand it would have morphed a ton during the writing process anyway. #kidlit

I’ll be riding this high for at least 48hrs. I got really positive feedback from the writing critique group I attend. Helps me get over the sting of the previous critique. Just trying to grow into a real writer 😂 #kidlit

This is going to be a nice evening by my lonesome. Once this fire gets a little bigger I may do some night writing. So fortunate to have these acres of wilderness. We are truly never alone in nature.

Republicans still refuse to swear her in because she is the final vote needed to release the Epstein Files.

Seattle friends, do me a favor and vote for Katie Wilson. I want a mayor who's a renter and transit rider like me. I want a mayor who's actually a progressive like the world assumes we have here. We could have a mayor trying to make the city better instead of cowering to cops and developers.
