I'm here to build connections with thoughtful and creative people so that I might grow, and also find reasons to pleasantly pass the time. All photos are mine except reposts. Searching for authentic wherever it might be. 'Look Harder' -Rafiki

Does anyone that survives to emerge from such a synthetic experience feel more enriched as a human?

Once the felons bust through, that distance gives Markwayne time to yell: 'Don't shoot me, I'm a republican here to deny certification.'

Tan to sienna sedimentary formations rise to form mounds and plateaus in the near distance. Small high desert shrubs dot the surface of the expanse. White, puffy cumulus clouds enhance the brilliant blue sky. In the foreground, the orangish sand beckons onward. Small squat conifers, one alive and the other stark branched, frame sides of the composition.

You'll absolutely love this miracle in a box. Recommend the 24-120/4 S and the 105 2.8 S Macro (if you're into macro photography).

Del deserves a nice persistent case of syphilis to confirm the merits of his perspective.

Quite true! People are so eager to see Bryce Canyon views that they drive right past Red Canyon, barely noticing all the gorgeous gifts hiding in plain sight.

From my archives for #SCAPE day.

I got to travel to Iceland for the first time in 2021 right after vaccinations were available. The national parks were very empty. This is a fall morning in #Thingevellir National Park. #UNESCO world Heritage site.

Vibrant red-orange geologic features create a stunning landscape that rivals Bryce Canyon's breathtaking vistas.

Cats can sense nurturing souls,
as can most animals. They know when
to swipe left
or swipe right.
It’s in their survival bones.

I play that card game (Oregon Trail, featuring the pixelated imagery in your lovely cross-stitch) with my nephews and nieces. It’s the dysentery that always gets me.

Cross stitch on black background with the Oregon Trail wagon and cause of death listed as "you listened to RFK"

For the last couple years I've started a cross stitch project shortly before the Iditarod with the goal of finishing it by the finisher's banquet. I am very slow, clunky, and overall bad at cross stitch despite it being "beginner" but this was last year's.

This year's is more colors, so we'll see.

Then RFK 'Brainworm' Jr., then S. 'Goebbels' Miller, then VP 'Hillbilly' Vance.

Actually, it's a long list.

This delivery driver throws treats to all the dogs on his route to see if they can catch. Spoiler alert: some of them definitely cannot. Still 13/10 for all (TT: jezzyvi)

Star Trek has always been about exploring the human condition while also having some fun, thought provoking, and weird sci-fi concepts.

Getting tired of media illiterate chuds and fake fans trying to convince you it was only about the cool spaceships.

Nice image, unfortunately the first thing that popped into my mind: How does the plumbing work in Venice? Where does the waste go?
