“The words of the prophets are written on the subway walls…”

Stealth mode #cybertruck isn’t fooling anyone, still sticks out like a sore fascist thumb. Move to Idaho, bro, #Seattle doesn’t like you or your #wankpanzer #swasticar #teslasucks #elonsucks #fuckelon #teslatakedown

Pinball is a game. Governing should not be. Seattle Pinball Museum, 2017. The #greatphotopurge continues - down to 16.8k, yeah! #classicmono #blackandwhitephotography #pinball #seattle #upperleftusa

My husband slept in today, probably exhausted by our country’s descent into fascism. In his honor, here’s an exhausted lady we ran into at the Museu Nacional D’Art de Catalunya, Barcelona, December 2024. #spain #espana #barcelona #deportthefascists #sleepheals #artheals

I love how random and pointless FB marketplace suggestions are. “We saw you looking at a hand painted needlepoint canvas. You might be interested in this 1977 orange Chevy Vega, no rust!” #facebooksucks #fixyouralgorithm #marketplace #fuckzuck #anticonsumption

In olden days, there were people called “journalists.” They used things called “typewriters” in their vital role as watchdogs for democracy. They are much missed. Vintage typewriter, 2024, Seattle-ish. #classicmono #blackandwhitephotography #typewriter #journalismisdead #freespeech #fightthepower

I spent last night reading an IQ-lowering escapist chick-lit #book but I’m convinced my IQ is still higher than if I’d watched the #sotu . #ihatethistimeline #ididntvoteforhim #deportthefascists #fucktrump #fuckmusk

Space Needle, Seattle, Summer 2024. Symbolizing my wish to be on any other planet after last night’s #sotu . #classicmono #blackandwhitephotography #seattle #spaceneedle #upperleftusa

I’m a big fan of composting but maybe not the #constitution ? #dumptrump #billofrights #wtf

Dance in honor of a once-great republic. Barcelona, Dec 29, 2025. #notariffs on #streetart - yet. #barcelona #espana #spain #mural #graffiti #graffitiart #danceofdeath

Some zen for your Monday morning. Proposal Rock, Neskowin, Oregon Coast. May(ish) 2024. No, I have made no progress on the #greatphotopurge - still hanging at 18k pictures. Give me time. #oregoncoast #pnw #blackandwhitephotography #upperleftusa #pacificcoast

Pike Place Market, #Seattle, April 3, 2020. #Pandemic memories. Only the food vendors were allowed to stay open, so they sold flowers and non-food items to help the other vendors stay financially afloat. THIS is America, not that disgrace in the #whitehouse. #covid19 #blackandwhitephotography #pnw

100% effective male contraceptive. (Converted the photo to #blackandwhitephotography but it didn’t improve anything.) #cybertruck #cyberstuck #elonsucks #teslasucks #getarealcar

I think that Democrats should boycott the State of the Union, which is pointless. Instead, of having a Democrat provide the rebuttal, they should bring in recently fired federal workers to describe the important work they used to do.

Statue of Christ child, Museu Nacional D’Art de Catalunya. January 2025. Barcelona. #religiousart #barcelona #spain #espana #catalan #christianity #jesuslovesyou #jesushatesbigots

Here’s a nice thing about the U.S. Supreme Court: the Ceiling. Photo taken June, 2018. @scotusfeed.bsky.social @scotushistory.bsky.social #scotus #photography #thegreatphotopurge #architecture

. @barnesandnoble.com says the book is out for delivery. UPS says they don’t yet have the package. Anyone want to place a friendly wager on whether my daughter will be reading poetry later today? #poetry #books #booklover

The great photo purge continues. I was down below 18k yesterday and somehow am back up above it today. I think the pixels are conspiring. Anyway, here’s Jimi Hendrix’s grave, Renton, WA. Photo taken 2017. #jimi #hendrix #purplehaze #cemeteriesarecool #seattle #washingtonstate #upperleftusa

Looking for something to do instead of supporting big corporations today? Check out your local library, and sign up for a card if you don’t already have one. You’ll save money and be thoroughly entertained. #economicblackout #library #librariesrule #publiclibrary @libbyapp.bsky.social

The irony, of course, is that United Healthcare’s entire business model involves *not paying claims*. #karma #freeluigi #mcdonaldssucks #snitchesgetstitchesnotrewardmoney

Need another reason to loathe Elon? Here ya go: #modernslavery #scams #felonmusk

San Francisco, 2019. We were there to see Hamilton and missed the last 5 minutes when the sound of a gunshot led an attendee to think there was an active shooter, resulting in a panic and evacuation. The shooter was Aaron Burr. Here’s some zen. #historyiscool #streetart #mandala #guncontrolnow

I can’t decide what order to work in as I continue the great photo purge of 2025, so disorder is the order of the day … which seems fitting for 2025. Cathedral Spire, Quito, Ecuador, March(ish) 2024. #blackandwhitephotography #blackandwhite #quito #ecuador #cathedral

Cheshire cat, Barcelona, December 2024. It sums up my feelings about everything right now. #cheshirecat #barcelona #spain #streetart #mural #espana #streetartphotography

Banana shop quartet, Seattle, March 2012. Was on the side of a fruit stand, both gone now. #streetart #bananas #bananashopquartet #vanishingseattle #seenonthestreet #fruit #seattle #upperleftusa #seattlewa #whatisgrungemayneverdie

REMINDER: In 2 days, THIS Friday, February 28. NOT 1 PENNY SPENT. We can DO this. I'm IN, are YOU?

I’ve been cleaning out my photo files (down from 22k to 18k already, woohoo!), and decided to share my favorites from through the years. This one - American Icons, 2010, Los Angeles. #statueofliberty #thesimpsons #hollywood #photography #losangeles #california

Great show by Porridge Radio last night at Neumos in Cap Hill. Thank you @kexp.bsky.social for continually introducing us to amazing new artists!

The merch table at last night’s Foster the People/Good Neighbors show. There was ONE other t-shirt on the display. Can’t decide if the band was making an #anticonsumption statement or the merch truck didn’t show up. Either way no poster for me :-(

Foster the People at the Seattle Paramount last night. Great show but I’ve lost my hearing and universal health care isn’t a thing here. #pumpedupkicks #youbetterrun #healthcareisahumanright

Enjoy your white bread and mayo, Murica. #bigotryisalive #duckfrump

Did your child lose their book collection in the Los Angeles fires? Are you a teacher at a school that lost its library or your classroom library? Whether you need one book or a whole library, we can replace your books. 📚 Everyone else, please boost this post so we can connect with those in need. 🙏

I just filled my car up and the gas pump urged me to “Like us on FB!” Does anyone actually do this? If so, why? #seriousquestion #wellmostlyserious #facebookgasstation #Why #gas #facebookfollies #ilovehashtags

You don’t say. #copaykiller #healthcareisahumanright

I just saw a bumper sticker that asks “where are you going? The pink pony club OR HELL” and I am really just wondering who’s making these rules? #chappellroan #pinkponyclub

Anyone want to chip in? The money will go to a great yet terrible cause.

Somewhere, Dante Alighieri is having a chuckle over the nine rings of X (formerly twitter).

“bluesky is an echo chamber” everywhere’s an echo chamber i’m going with the one without cybertruck guys

Two narcissists walk into the White House…

A meme made for us GenXers if I ever saw one

The force is with us!

If you can’t manage to park your Mini Cooper in just one space, you probably shouldn’t be driving at all. #seattle #upperleftusa #minicooper
