What you have to tell me more

A single pigeon preens himself on an urban apartment ledge.

The sun sets behind ancient columns of ruins.

“Click here” is arguably an ugly word combination to look at

A lone black bird looks upward in search of scarps on a concrete pathway.

This grackle is a common urban bird in the desert. Parking lots, cafes, and even airport lobbies. Shot on a Nikon CoolPix. #birdsky #desert #photography

Two bald eagle sit side by side on a tree top.

20 pages in…this will be a very good book.

I sent Patton Oswalt’s Star Wars filibuster and attached a close up image of a cat butthole.

Cute grouping of Tricoloma friends for Mushroom Monday. #mushroommonday #pnw #hiking

Lame. When I was on the dating apps, I would get annoyed by people who couldn’t type a proper full sentence. Just give me some standard punctuation, capitalization, and maybe correct spelling of they’re/there/their. My gf was the first to do this. 😅

Solo international trip

A single, bell shaped white mushroom stands out against bright green moss.

This tiny Mycena, or bonnet mushroom stood strong on its own amongst the mossy foliage along one of my neighborhood trails. #mushroommonday #pnw

Hand holding a worn book. Its cover shows a cross cut saw and carved wood signs stating the title of the book, “Now Go Home, wilderness, belonging, and the crosscut saw”.

Picked up this short but resonant read from a little free library. Spagna’s essays on finding home in the wilderness, the grit of trail work, and unexpected queer love felt both relatable and deeply comforting. 💙📚 #booksky

What a weird thing to say.

Diversity is a fact: All kinds of people exist.

Equity is a goal: All kinds of people deserve a chance at success.

Inclusion is how we get to equity. By including them, they can achieve success.

It's that simple.

Gender segregated sports only exist because women were beating men. And men cried about it.

In middle school I demanded to be on the wrestling team. It was all cisboys. My coach also coached me in tennis and was supportive, so I joined as the only afab 14year old there. I wrestled heavyweight boys. But no one kicked my ass more than the one girl on a rival team.

All you have to do is paint your nails any color. 💅

A small water fall flows in the center of the image, surrounded by ferns, tall conifers, and mist.

I wish I could remember where I found this waterfall. Most likely somewhere near Mt Baker in the North Cascades.

I once sang Helena at a coworker karaoke function.

A close up of pitted and holed lava rock, with a bright blue sky and ocean in the background.

Nakalele Point was born 1.3 million years ago from lava flows of the West Maui Volcano. Its basalt cliffs now stand against relentless waves, sculpted into jagged coastlines and a striking pitted texture that tells the story of time and erosion. #rockintuesday #nature #maui #volcano

Image of a log with 4 disk shaped mushrooms hanging off of it, surrounding by ferns.

Love finding giant Ganodermas on forested walks. #nature #mushroommonday #fungifriends #hiking #pnw

Lady Gaga singing in wingdings again we are so fucking back

I’ll grow out my Charlie Hunnam facial hair.

See you next month for enacting project “too gay” at work.
