Seattle-area dude. Late 30s, anti-fascist, lots of hair, piercings, etc. Boring he/him pronouns. Software QA.

Into cooking, humor, games, philosophy, plants, reading, tea, tattoos, ukulele, and wordplay.

#DemoTheCat and #GoblinTheCat are my overlords.

I post #UnsolicitedNoods, #AWalkADay, #DBWriting, and #DBMeditations.

I'm a Stoic, Buddhist-adjacent, and an occasional pescetarian. Sometimes I plug my blog.

Good morning, fine people of the internet!

My weekend included a gorgeous mocha and a blooming cherry tree. Love this time of year.

I would read that handbook

Our hummingbird is back!

Good morning, hummingbird.

Nice little things from today's walk.

The larger world seems to kind of suck these days; it's comforting to focus on a smaller scale. Stay safe humans.

"Thanks Obama"

Actually yeah. Say what you will, we used to have actual, functional, and dare I say it admirable humans elected as president in this country. People who left the country better off for them having led it.

Thanks, Obama. You were the best president I've seen in my 30-odd years of being an American. You did pretty damn good.

Whether or not we still *have* a country, let alone democracy, once Trump is wound out of office like a damn tapeworm remains to be seen.

I'm currently reading Frank Herbert's "Dune" for the first time.

I was struck by this passage. It comes right after the Reverend Mother has tested Paul Atreides. She is talking with him.

"𝗢𝗻𝗰𝗲, 𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗻𝗲𝗱 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗶𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗸𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗼𝘃𝗲𝗿 𝘁𝗼 𝗺𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗵𝗼𝗽𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗼𝘂𝗹𝗱 𝘀𝗲𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺 𝗳𝗿𝗲𝗲. 𝗕𝘂𝘁 𝘁𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗼𝗻𝗹𝘆 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗺𝗶𝘁𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗼𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿 𝗺𝗲𝗻 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗺𝗮𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝘁𝗼 𝗲𝗻𝘀𝗹𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗺."

How apropos seventy years later.

Look at those poor music idols disappearing in a cloud of smoke while their fans drive away, unable to find them. A tragedy!
