Wooden cabin, slats not logs, but definitely a log cabin sort of feel, with a steeply pitched roof and a fieldstone chimney, with trees in the background, dark and a bit blurry. Over the roof, the words "Hodgepodge Lodge" appear in white, in a rather odd font that I cannot describe.

Variation on the new Minnesota State Flag, with the left being kind of a stylized shape of Minnesota, in dark blue, with an 8 pointed star at the center, and the right side, instead of being a solid lighter color blue, is a rainbow, including black and brown stripes, so the more inclusive version of the Rainbow Pride Flag. I love this thing SO MUCH.

Lady Jane Grey is concerned for you, and wishes you an easy wait, a fast recovery, and many good things.

A black cat, sacked out in a box that is on its side. The cat's face is on his side, facing away from you, with one paw over his nose. You can see his hind feet, the top of his head, but he's black, so it's more of a black blob in a box than anything else. HIs name is Ninja, and I love him very very much.

The cat in question.

Grey mackerel tabby cat with a saturnine expression

Creek. Minnehaha Creek. Also, there are many, many lakes, but this is on the creek bed, a short way from the falls.

Waterfall framed by trees, foreground are large stones which are actually part of a WPA-built stone wall.

Lydy@lydy· May 4

This is on my regular bike route to the falls. (Minnehaha Falls is a jewel of the city!)

Large tree stump clearly gnawed in a spiral fashion by beaver(s)

Best Star Trek crew. Wrong answers only. duckduckgo.com?q=image+beeg...

The Bee Gees tricked out as Sgt. Pepper's Lonely Hearts Club Band, with a dude in a white suit in the center, and I cannot for the life of me remember who he is or why he is.

I just want to say, my delightful housemate, Cameron Reed, got _such_ a good review in the New Yorker, for a book that is amazeballs. _What We Are Seeking_ is genuinely not like anything else, and is utterly wonderful. www.newyorker.com/books/under-...

Very abstract picture in browns and oranges, looking like desert colors, with a sheep-like critter and a ... not sure, maybe an plane of some sort, and a stone arch, and, um, yeah, dunno. Alien and lovely, like the book.

And the other side

The other side of the protest sign, which reads:

SOME SAY THE WORLD
WILL END IN FIRE
SOME SAY IN I.C.E.
WE SAY:
NOT TODAY, SATAN
FUCK I.C.E.

HT Robert Frost

Better look at my signs. Sorry for the repetition. I'm stupidly pleased with them.

A hand made protest sign that reads:
SO MUCH DEPENDS
UPON

A PLASTIC
WHISTLE

BREAKING THE
I.C.E.

PROTECTING OUR
NEIGHBORS.

HT: WILLIAM CARLOS WILLIAMS

The sign also boasts a large red whistle which is pasted next to the second couplet. The dots in I.C.E. are red and kinda droplet shaped, meaning to evoke blood drops. Not sure that part comes through.

@dbrauer.net Lookee what showed up while I was working in Sleepy Eye! Guess that's my wardrobe for tomorrow sorted.

Blue haired woman in glasses using a cane wearing a blue t-shirt designed by David Brauer. There is a big circle with the words "We keep us safe" in an arc at the top, and "MPLS" in an arc at the bottom. The middle of the circle is divided into quadrants, with images in each quadrant. Top left is a whistle, top right is a cell phone, lower left is a grocery bag, and lower rlght is a raised fist.

Book cover, which shows a road with a mountain in the distance, in the foreground a view of a motocyle from the perspective of the rider, gagues in the center, handle bars with mirrors, hands on the handle bars. Top text: "AN ENCHANTED JOURNEY RECOUNTED WITH THE SPECIAL MAGIC OF A BORN TROUBADOUR" - TIME. Under that in larger letters: PETER S. BEAGLE. Below that: I SEE BY MY OUTFIT. Under that is the image I described above, and underneath the image a pale yellow banner with the caption: PENGUIN TRAVEL LIBRARY

It is so cold.

Grey cat on a brightly colored afghan, her head is down, nose firmly pressed into the afghan. Her floofy tail is in the foreground. In the background is a very messsy bunch of stuff on shelves and my boyfriend's hands holding a phone.

Grey cat, medium length fur, limp in my arms with her head down but ears up. Her eyes are closed and she looks boneless. Top right you can see my eyes and nose.

Def a NE bias.

Color-coded living preference map. Absolutely= MN, PA, NY, HI, all of New England. Willing = Maine, WI, Illinois, and the Pacific NW. Maybe = Ohio, WV, CA, AZ, NM. Let the rest go with god but without me.

David Bowie sitting in an airport, wearing a white shirt and tan slacks, one leg crossed and reading a book. He's wearing wire-rim glasses and looking super hot, but then, he's Bowie, so he always looks super hot.

Experimental rosemary and kalmata olive sourdough. (I am trying bread flour instead of all-purpose.) #breadsky

Boule of sourdough on blue cutting board, golden brown and you can see a few olives

Crumb shot of rosemary olive boule, brown with large holes and a few olives visible.

Experimental buckwheat (15%) sourdough. #breadsky

Boule of sourdough, dark bread well dusted with whole wheat.

Crumb shot of boule, dark brown bread, pleasing distribution of bubbles.

The Cathedral of Learning.

Tall ornate skyscraper in concrete. It is the Cathedral of Learning on the Pitt Campus in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Lydy@lydy· Aug 3

200 g. whole wheat, 300 g. all purpose white, 130 g. sourdough starter. Good rise, but too hot to cut and cheek the crumb. #breadsky

Sourdough boule, rather more orange in color than in real life. Slashed in a star pattern, some burnt tips at the top.

Please accept this void with hopeful eyes as a token of my esteem and well-wishes.

Black cat with eyes like gold rings around black wells leading to his soul), staring at me while on an afgahan of green, white, and blue. He's resting against a black bag with imitation leather handle and detailing. There are sandaled feet in the background. The cat is hoping that I will get up and give him more food.

Oh, to be a cat!

Grey medium-hair cat asleep looking like a puddle of grey fur with feet.

Lydy@lydy· May 7

Large grey mackerel tabby cat in the foreground giving the camera a lowering side-eye, my head visible behind her. I am an older white woman with long dark hair looking fondly bemused.

Does anybody _else_ think this looks like a clothes iron? duckduckgo.com?q=locus+awar...

A picture of the Locus Award, which is a piece of lucite which is like an elongated oval, with the bottom chopped off and flattened, set into a base (which is, I swear to god, the same shape as an iron). This one has been etched with a moon, stars, a retro-looking rocket, and the words "LOCUS AWARD 2021." It's quite handsome.

I admire the papier mache extremely. It was a lovely day in St. Paul.

A person in a giant papier mache head in the shape of the Monopoly dude wearing a black suit and white shirt and holding a sign, yellow lettering on black background, which reads STOP BILLIONAIR TAKEOVER. There are pictures of Trump and Musk on the sign. In the background is the demonstration in St. Paul, today, people standing around looking up towards the speakers, mostly their backs to the camera.

Not my home, but I know my way around.

View of the main hall of The Cathedral of Learning in Pittsburgh Pa from the second floor showing tall (3 stories tall, I think) arches in concrete the color of sand, hanging cylindrical light fixtures, wooden tables and chairs. The wrought iron railing is visible in the foreground. This is one of my favorite places.

Ok, now they're just fucking with me. l.facebook.com/l.php?u=AT3Y...

Woman in a red riding habit with red hat, hair done up behind, riding a rocket side-saddle, above a countryside in beige and grey-green featuring fields and probably a church. Upper left says "Learn a language while you read." Underneath the image is a black box with the words "Sense and Sensibility Jane Austen".

I mean, I'd love to read this fanfic, but I don't think that's what's on offer.

scontent-msp1-1.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t45.1600-4... Huckleberry Finn in space? What even is that gun?

A figure of a young person, presumably male, kneeling with one knee up, on a large log wearing an orange vest with pockets holding firearm with a site which appears to be blasting an orange flame. The log is on the bank of a river, and there are pine trees and mountains in the background. Despite the fact that the light suggests that it is night out, there is a sun. Underneath the picture, there is a black box with the words "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn Mark Twain"
