A.I. is a tool of oppression & erasure. Please stop enriching oligarchs by using it for your Blue Resistance memes. Just draw stick figures & use alt-text.

The removal of a transgender reference from the National Park Service’s Stonewall website wasn’t done by NPS staff. Elon, care to elaborate?

Rose-Tu’s calf has a name! Meet Tula-Tu 💕

My love for you is like a peregrine falcon. One more valentine from a past year.

I’m doing my small part to meet this demand.

Experiencing a very messy week of a messy month of what has been predicted to be a very messy year. I kind of want to go back into the cocoon—my heart’s too porous for this.

Since I was a child in the 80s there have always been conservative guys everywhere yelling about the constitution and what a big deal it was, where are those guys at right now?

Looking to do a fundraiser video on horseshoe crabs or fireflies conservation. Who might I chat with?

How is it only Tuesday, still January? The last couple of days have been kind of wild, and tonight is a study in managed expectations. Here is evidence of peacefulness:

Love this band SO much. Among my best discoveries of 2024 (Bug Club!!), though not soon enough to catch their tour. Mannequin Pussy. The KEXP session is super. ‘Loud Bark Deep Bite’ is a frequent, resonating inner soundtrack. They make me cry (like bikini kill makes me cry) youtu.be/TJnEH0c-WLs?...

The first images I’m not posting to IG. I drove out to Astoria last week to be stood up for a coffee date. But the coffee was good, I fangirled (privately) over Carson Ellis’ presence, wandered the sunny streets and checked out the “ghost’s” gallery show. Here’s some Astoria randomness.

Oh: David Lynch memory no. 2. A young adult renting VHS, late ‘80s. The first was Blue Velvet. Only later would I recognize the connection (visual, aural) between BV & Elephant Man, but it changed my movie viewing habits, my style, rewired my eye for art & music.

Over on IG, my algorithm is skewed completely to David Lynch and tiny hippos. It’s a beautiful thing with a seedy underbelly, like that grassy lot with the moldy, human ear (“why, yes…”). It’s probably time to commit to this place or leave the socials entirely. Let’s see.

Thinking a lot about David Lynch, his influence on my young self and future movie viewing habits. First Contact: I saw The Elephant Man with my aunt in a tiny movie theater in Forks, WA, when I was 11, 12? 1980ish. Knew little about directors but understood this was something much different.

Looking forward to delving into this: #music #olympiamusicscene www.olympiamusichistory.org

I've been trying to figure out what to do here, with social media in general. How to deal with IG. In a way it feels like my early days of social media (connecting with sportsracers and ladies rock camp alumni), learning as I go, and that's kind of exciting. This feels like good way to look at it:

If you don’t have a local library card, it should be your New Year’s resolution to get one. It’s an easy resolution to keep and you’ll actually use it, trust me.

Thanking 2024 me for the good sense to plan a January escape. Maybe plan a longer one next year.

Maybe time is moving strangely these days, but it seems like this crow has been decomposing in this very spot for weeks, through storms, cars parking, people and whatever else prowling.

Out there, right now, is an indie bookstore and it is FULL OF BOOKS, and full of bibliomancers who know all the old book rites to ensure you get excellent books for you and your loved ones. Seek the indie bookstore! Give them coin in exchange for stories and ideas and art and romance and horror and
