1) So, still working on repairs. Currently scheduled for Oct 7th, the Tomato is going in the shop to have the timing belt, alternator and AC/power steering belts and head gasket replaced, to the tune of $1500 total.

Cause this is on every single motherfucker talking about how we gotta get behind Gavin Newsom even though he's out here throwing trans people under the bus and terrorizing houseless people in California. They see that you don't care about anyone but yourselves.

Thank you to everyone who is (1) showing up (2) documenting. Not just on this, but on everything. I show appropriate videos to my son so he sees that there are more ppl on the good side & that there is always hope & courage if you look for them.

I almost missed World Octopus Day!? Whew!

In celebration of World Octopus Day, we wanted to revisit one of our favorite cephalopod sightings, the glass octopus — Vitreledonella richardi filmed during a month-long #PhoenixIslandsCoral expedition in 2021.

🧵Spotted While Roaming in Aotearoa New Zealand:

A small human (3?) is studiously pushing a small trolley along next to Mum.
Small Human has MANY opinions about what can go in his trolley. Chocolate? Yes. Bananas? Yes. Frozen spinach? NOOOO.
He is a grocery connoisseur and knows what he likes. (1)

Sadly, missing black girls are usually classified as runaways.
This classification does not trigger anything.

A huge part of the creative process, for every single creative I've ever known, including myself

is you need down time to think, usually while doing another thing that doesn't require thought.

When I struggled with something writing-wise I take a walk. And 100% of the time I end up figuring out the solution. I would never, ever, ever, ask a machine to do that for me. Wtf.
