Some more photos from the protest I attended in WA state today for #handsoff These people look pretty normal, people of all types are angry and stepping up!

Good turnout at the protest today! Rick Steves was on stage! He claims he flew from Instanbul last night just for this, lmao. Pretty funny, and inspiring, guy. #handsoff

You got this Booker! ༼ つ ◕_◕ ༽つ

Double play to end the game! Go #mariners!

In honor of baseball season starting tomorrow, I am going to remind people of when Nintendo created special app for the Nintendo DS that let you order food at the Mariners stadium. Go Mariners! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nintend...

Pumpkins and squash! Going to try again this year. Last year they ended up extremely small, and my grandfather was saying for pumpkins you gotta water those suckers like twice per day which I think was my issue (was doing once per day). I will plant more seeds direct in dirt closer to summer. 🌱

Post a fictional character who you think would be an antivaxxer. Hard mode: No villains.

Lettuce and miner's lettuce sprouts! They are so smol and cute! 😭🌱

Finally got some seeds into seedling containers for the year. Trying out these hexagon shaped "self watering" 3D printable ones even if I will water them manually. I mainly liked that you can reuse them super easy. I will do more than this in the final garden, but its a good start for day 1. 🌱

There is this woman that I see at local stores around here that wears her entire phone on her wrist with some kind of strap. Not a smartwatch, but her entire phone. She is a hero of mine.

What kind of sicko am I becoming where I intentionally sift through a large textbook that has the answer somewhere instead of just searching it on the internet because thats "good for your brain". Fun though.

Birthday girl loved her (dog safe) birthday cake!

A reminder that it is BANDCAMP FRIDAY. Bandcamp waives their fees about 5-6 days a year and the musicians get all of your money on those days. Today is one!

280 million acres of national parks? Gone? SPEAK UP.

Fed up with dust, spring cleaning starting early this year.

Got a new sleeping bag for the first time in 15 years. Decided not to get a mummy bag this time, but this one does go down to 20F (-6C) and has a fuzzy liner! Going to test it out this weekend with the first camping trip of the year! Finally!

Gregg is a former Marine and Forest Service ranger. He's saved the lives of hikers dangling off a cliff or going through cardiac arrest, and he's bravely fought forest fires to save small rural towns. 100% of his salary is paid by WA state. Elon fired him. Share his story.

Long break from active social media use felt really good. If I do use it more often I think I will just stick to the Following feed and the Gardening feed for most of my usage.

If there is any doubt that tariffs are passed through to consumers, the cost of propane to heat my house just went up by the amount of the tariff

Did my first rotoscope for a point-and-click game demo I am working on. Took forever but looks great even with a ton of sloppiness in the line work! #gamedev #animation

The Hamster Dance song is just the Robin Hood whistling song sped up.

y'all ever try to open the food bag as slow and quietly as possible to see if you are ninja enough to do so before the dog runs over to you?

I know the world sucks right now but its really close to the time of the year that I get to grow seedlings for the garden again and I am so ready for that to get going soon.

Apparently Washington State has its own version of Quack Dilly Oso? I guess it techincally says WA/West Coast but still funny to be called out by name. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stella_... "Quack diddly oso Quack Quack Quack Singin' Samorico, Rico Rico Rico Flora Flora, Flora Flora Flora, 1, 2, 3, 4"

The sell Carhartt at Nordstroms now. That was wild to see.

I am playing Dwarf Fortress and I got rich by cutting a ton of jewels and then I bought all the dogs the traders had not realizing how many puppies they would have down the road and now I am playing Dog Fortress.

Went to Safeway today and the girl who bagged my groceries was talking at anyone who would listen about how she started playing Mass Effect, how much she loves the characters, and the ones she wishes were in relationships with each other It made me happy how unapologetic she was about her interests

Just have the clear-coat left for my tree topper!

Been working on a tree-topper. I am being lazy with the final touches because the wide sides are so boring lol.
