Um… #MacroMonday

Something else I’ve been wrong about: Nuance. I really thought larger character limits for microblogging would decrease potential for misunderstandings. It does not, in fact, improve the tenor of the discourse. People who like to get mad about things don’t give a damn about your equivocations.

Despite what my coffee mug says, I am not “The Best Dad Ever”. Just like anyone else, doing the best he can given the circumstances and, lo, it isn’t enough. Absolutely love being a parent to this oversized goober toddler, though 🥰

On my run yesterday I noticed a couple patches of columbines. Look for them on shady north-facing slopes above 7000 feet. Photo from a previous summer. #bloomscrolling

They are openly admitting now that the militarized presence in LA has nothing to do with immigration enforcement and everything to do with removing a democratically elected local government that they don’t like. Hope your cheap eggs were worth it.

No reason. Here’s a photo of a moonrise.

I’m a heavy social media user and a news junkie. Been out of journalism for more than a decade but I still love The Discourse™️ BlueSky works great for me! I really enjoy the cultivated feeds. Still using Twitter a little bit. The discourse about BlueSky here and there is pretty ridiculous!

Important to note that Gov Polis’s first response to the ICE subpoena was to comply. It was only after being sued under the whistleblower statue that Polis backed off. Given the stakes I find this initial move from Polis unforgivable.

Me, standing over my toddler thrashing on the floor in the midst of a temper tantrum: “I get that you are angry, but these are bad optics and aren’t going to help your cause.”

Mountain in monochrome this Monday. #classicmono #mountainscape #blackandwhitelandscape

here are some of my pictures from Mexico: one of my favorite places on earth fuck everyone who spouts ignorant lies about Mexico and its people

ICE is a criminal organization willfully carrying out illegal orders and the people of California are right to resist this. respect to the fighters and power to the people

Have a seat, and enjoy this beautiful sunset at Antelope Island State Park. The warm light was so lovely, and that vibrant pink sky was incredible. I miss posting here! Will try to post more often. #BlueSkyArtShow #Vibrant #photography #nature #art #travel #naturephotography #EastCoastKin #ArtYear

The sunsets in the autumn months here in Colorado are a #vibrant feast for the eyes. Happy #BlueskyArtShow! #EastCoastKin #colorado #sunsets

I know y’all are yapping about something else, but I’m just gonna point out that NBA playoffs are still fire.

People always say this but no one, not even experts, can say what “self-regulation” means in practice for adults, let alone children. Yes, emotional regulation is good. But suggesting this without examples or techniques as to how is just obnoxious armchair parenting.

May 2025 was the 2nd warmest May on record globally. Here are the temperature departures from the 1991-2020 normal.

Crazily this morning my feed is all good news. A judge has allowed plaintiff sanctions of the government, which is -incredibly- unusual, over Abrego Garcia. The woman who confronted Joni Ernst is running for office. And a sick girl who was to be deported will no longer be. Don’t give up.

Hank deleted his post almost immediately after my very mild criticism. Huh. Who knew I had this sort of influence 🤷🏼‍♂️

A week or two ago I went to bat pretty hard for Hank. I take it all back. Don’t know what this is all about being obvious rage bait or a smarmy in joke or a set up to a YouTube clip where he takes down all the activists going about combating climate change ~the wrong way~.

I always get a chuckle out of this bumper sticker when I stumble across it going through my stuff. I wonder if it has any value to collectors?
