Should you dig back through my archives, please keep in mind that the further in the past a post was published, the more likely it is that the information has become outdated or my beliefs have changed. I sincerely believe that learning, growing, examining, and often changing beliefs is an integral part of being a responsible human being. My personal journey socially and politically has been ever leftwards, and there are many posts in the archives that I would not write the same way today, if at all. Thanks for understanding!

- Book ten of 2019: Alien Virus Love Disaster: Stories by Abbey Mei Otis. #PKDickAward nominee. ⭐️⭐️⭐️ 📚 Some of these are funny, many of them are disquieting and leave the reader a little uneasy. I didn’t dislike it, though I’m not sure I can really say that I liked it. ➡
- Book nine of 2019: Time Was, by Ian McDonald. #PKDickAward nominee. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ 📚 A short, sweet tale of soldiers in love, time travel, the unraveling of their story, and the love of books. I very much enjoyed this one. ➡

- Another find in old boxes. Nobody’s sure what this is; the only thing everyone agreed on was “creepy.” So, of course, I asked if I could have it. :D ➡
- Found while going through Prairie’s grandpa’s old boxes: an Alaska travel brochure published in 1976. So much good stuff in here! ➡

- Footies in the surf! ➡
- Another pretty morning, another pretty beach walk. I can understand why SoCal is such a draw for so many people. ➡
- We didn’t think to bring sandals when we packed, so we both got new sandals for beach walking. Prairie’s are really cute, mine look good in a very guy-ish way. ➡

- Michael Hanscom for Governor of Washington If these idiots actually force us into a re-vote, I'll mount a write-in candidacy drive. Michael Hanscom for Governor of Washington. Sounds good to me. Hell, just running on a platform of 'no re-votes if I lose' should get me a sizeable chunk of the vote. ➡

- Crossing my fingers So, a while back, I'd gone poking around Apple's job site, as it was rumored that they were going to be opening an Apple Store just outside of Seattle, in Bellingham, and I signed up for their job search. Tonight I got e-mailed details on four job openings for the upcoming Bellevue store, and decided what the heck — it's worth a shot! So, I've applied for two of the positions: Mac Specialist and Mac Genius. ➡
