You know that itās āthatā season (the best season except for the fires) in SoCal when the hills are mimicking their best #pumpkinSpice impression. #nature
Male wrens make several nests. The female picks the one she likes & just like us, she throws out all of his shit.
But heās still alive (apparently)
Theyāre only pro life before birth.
But itās out of people that voted for him so a 35% drop is progress. Iām more concerned w the olds. Life is supposed to make you smarter.
This is how we do Labor Day. Resist!
This 90 minute session was recorded live and is now available! Among other things discussed: there's a pretty good chance of some mixed wet/dry thunderstorms in SoCal next 48 hours, and slight risk of dry lightning in NorCal (inc. Bay Area and Central Valley). #CAwx #CAfire
If four seasons landscape had been in the car not mulch would have happened.
Tomorrow (9/1). Stop the billionaire takeover. More than 1,000 protests nationwide. Find one near you. MayDayStrong.org.
You know that any time I open a container & see this that Iām just gonna get the knife out
So his people had to include him being a Good Samaritan in the story which had nothing to do w the accident? I had Swedish pancakes this morning which totally explains my online activity.
I always knew that punk was going to save us.
Not only me but this is what I leave on for the cat when I go out.
Which TV series have you rewatched more than once? šŗ
Or you can highlight & hit translate
Diedrich is so much better than me. My response was holy shit!
Holy shit! Congress approved.
I see that. Itās not just one issue either. Heās so good at this bc heās played the game before. Nominating him could put another stronghold beholden to big money in office.

Please consider completing a short & anonymous survey regarding my @ucanr.edu weather & climate communication activities! Iām collecting basic demographic information to help ensure that weāre reaching a broad and representative audience of Californians.
I'll host a special Labor Day livestream on 9/1 @ 10am PT to discuss the upcoming extreme/record-breaking western Canadian heatwave, the complex and unusual weather pattern driving it, and implications for (lesser) CA heat & West Coast wildfire. #CAwx #CAfire
Weāll be marching but Iāll catch it on the replay.
Link?
HA, Iāve used that word so often lately that my phone now changes duck.
That was our practice run. The long weekend isnāt over.
On Labor Day, we rise together. While billionaires buy up our government, weāre coming together to demand a country that puts workers first. Find an event near you: www.mobilize.us/mayd...
I helped a guy (over the phone) that was super nice. He came to one of my talks sporting a MAGA hat. It was tough, but I blocked out the visual & it was fine. This was pre election tho, times not quite as dire as today.
Fuck
Mondayās march is going to be lit.
Cheney is my proof that thereās no such thing as karma.
I saw this early & signed up for a grocery delivery
Alcohol! Always rinse your hands off w alcohol after cutting jalapeƱos. This from a daily jalapeƱo consumer.
I donāt even have to see what this is a reply to. We are all imagining. Mondayās protest march would be lit.
Well, we have revived the plastic ones.
Iāve got the Champaign in the cooler
Itās like when Iām sick & my dang watch keeps telling me āYou can do itā
Mildly disappointed bc I watched & turned the sound on bc I wanted to hear you yelling āstop it!ā
Champaign is in the cooler
He probably has a sports memorabilia business. That would be a good place to start.
Hover flies ā¤ļø
Any Californian that has been paying attention hates him.
Arenāt there just like 10 species of flies?š
More answers than a coked up Ken Jenningsš„
Apparently she had a lot posted that could have stopped this if caught early but the doj & fbi were too busy focusing on the important stuff at Home Depot & the car wash.

Yes, we can make a difference. Be loud & use your right of free speech while we have it.

A serious effort to fight dictatorship needs the full-court press of āshadowā agencies: - A shadow CDC made up of real scientists and physicians. - Shadow FBI / DOJ / HS with people who actually care about rule of law. And on and on. Show what itās like to govern without the mad king servility.
Cat sandwiches were never an option.
Same as it ever was
We have a local phone & text number that I trust. See something, take a pic & send location & resisters show up.
The dogs & crows in the background are a nice touch. Show your fingers.
I slept straight thru the last 2 nights for the first time in months. Not sure if it was this, but maybe worth trying. I only do 1/2 gummy or 2 1/2 MG so it doesnāt really get me high.

New commission finished!! This portrait was requested by the wonderfully lovely Nadine Elise. Sometimes when Iām sent reference photos like this, I like to use all of my animal knowledge and artistic ability to produce a full body portrait, and Iām sure Nadine will appreciate my efforts here.
Turns on the tv. Not that I donāt appreciate your segments but if the tv is on during the day, thereās a car chase, fire or earthquake.
Iād suggest a head lamp but the last time I recommended that it resulted in a barrage of bugs to the face.
Well, if it ever cools off. Or you could be the crepuscular tailor.
Time to hit that go pedal on the 405. CHP is going to be busy elsewhere.
As you watch, keep in mind that less than 48 hours prior, two tax payer jobs funded Jeff Gorell, was in Cancun. Fuck each and everyone who voted for Gorell, LaVere, Long, and Parvin.
Shrimp, or is it too early?

Ventura County, get your walking shoes ready.
This is just so wrong. How is a parent going to feel when the pedo party decides that they need to do gender checks on children in school?
Rain? Thunder? Lightning?! It's Juliette's fault?!?! (tomorrow, Thursday) #VenturaCounty #LosAngelesCounty #SantaBarbara #CAwx
Bc going high worked so well.
OK, you said Dem voters. Shouldnāt it be them voters? Sorry, not sorry.

Doom scrolling all day puts me dead center in the physical activity section which also crosses over into mental health & maybe obesity if he doesnāt die soon enough.
I saw an interview w a lady whose belongings (including the only mementos left from her mother) were bulldozed into a trash heap by Gavin in LA & it was heartbreaking.
Hats off to all, especially the brave ones that signed their names. We need to fight, not fold. Ask those that bent a knee to Donald how itās working out for them.
Yes, but sitting on the couch all day scrolling can put you into several categories. Iām going for the mental health category.

Yep, they had the mailers out even before it was official. Iām using them for scooping up the cat barf.
Florida lost their groves to an invasive insect when we were going through a recession. Drink more mimosas & believe in science.
Cheney thoā¦
I'll host a live "virtual office hour" session on Tue, Aug 26 @ 4pm PT to discuss the recent SW heat (and ongoing PacNW heat) as well as the widespread monsoonal thunderstorm and wildfire outbreak in recent days. Expect a live radar/satellite tour! #CAwx #CAfire
How exciting! Iāve only seen it once but I will never forget it.
