This week I’ve been bitten by a giant centipede* and swarmed by a battalion of Polistes carolina wasps**; my normal laissez-faire policy with respect to the arthropods, winged or otherwise, is wearing thin.
____________
* OUCH do not recommend. Like a rookie fool, I’d omitted to check my boots for crawlies before putting’em on. About a quarter mile into my hike I detected a horrible, sharp pain in my foot. Pulled off the boot, expecting a piddly little scorpion. Butnno. It was a goddam *Scolopendra heros*, a Giant Texas Centipede.
Reader, it takes a lot to squick me out, but I have no stomach for giant centipedes. They’re just too goddang big, are too venomous, and have too many fucking legs.
Gripped with pain and irrational panic, I screamed like a city girl, splatted my ass down on the rain-soaked dirt, and pulled off my centipede-encrusted sock in about .04 seconds (the dog nose in the photo belongs to my feral Pomeranian, who enjoyed every second of this embarrassing display a little too much). I then defeatedly limped home in the rain, rapidly losing feeling in my big toe. It took about 5 hours for the pain to subside. These fucken things are no joke. Although, like all my doofy encounters with creepy wildlife, the tableau was comical AF.
** It’d been so long since I’d driven my own car off the farm that a colony of paper wasps had had time to build a whole-ass nest in the space between my driver’s side door and the fender.
I’d boarded the car without incident and driven into town, not having noticed the nest. Did my errand. But upon my return to the car, the wasps were by now kinda cheesed off. To my enormous surprise, an entire buttload of sting-y insects buzzed out of my car door at once and bounced into my face.
Pretty sure I did some hilarious and awkward anti-wasp-swarm moves in the parking lot while attempting to cognitively reconcile this unnatural state of affairs with any possible reality. It was only then that I noticed the nest and grasped the gist. When I got home (unstung, by some miracle), there were a bunch of panicked wasps buzzing around the carport, searching for their recent nest. So many of their compatriots had flown off in that parking lot 8 miles away! It was an emotional rollercoaster for all concerned.

If Biden were still President during this flood, the Republican Party (and most of the media and a lot of other people for that matter) would be nonstop screaming about how it’s a Democrat’s fault and saying where is FEMA or blaming a Cabinet member and they would never stop so fuck off, Ted Cruz.

It is also a local government issue to warn people about weather disasters so additionally fuck off, Kristi Noem and a last fuck off to anyone going on about “act of god.”
I don’t believe in one anyway, but if I did, an act of god should be funding government services and having services that warn people about evacuation in deadly weather. You’re an asshole if you think an act of god includes kid drowning.

It makes me so angry that @stux has to constantly beg users for help to keep that instance going.
The man has to pay rent besides running mstdn.social. It just isn't fair to him. Mstdn.Social has 13,000+ users. If every user paid JUST $1 each month, he could do that full time, and mstdn would have the latest, greatest servers.
But no.

Today I got up and dressed and left the house early.. I had my laser appointment at 9.30am, and then was attending an art show at Girrawaa Aboriginal Art Centre.
...except that my laser appointment is tomorrow morning.
...and the art show is on Saturday.
I don't think my dyslexia and dyscalculia has ever so thoroughly kicked my arse before.
_____
*Girrawaa is the Aboriginal Art Centre at Bathurst prison. They're having an art show to showcase the art work of some of the people in prison there. There are going to be framed and unframed works available for sale.
The proceeds from the sales goes to the artist, with 20% being kept by the centre to purchase art supplies (paint, canvases, materials etc) for the artists to use in the centre.
If you're in the area, it's definitely worth checking out!

More from roll of Kodak Tmax taken in May 1996, probably with a Pentax K1000. First two photos were printed as contact sheets, scanned, and flipped. Last photo is larger print cut out and pasted in sketchbook, unflipped. Probably printed in fall 1996, during my first semester in college. Original negatives are long gone.
Me and a friend; I have no idea who took this photo, but I do remember this outfit and those hot pink sunglasses.

At half past sunset from Mt. Tabor, yesterday.
If walking, you probably should take the leisure incline that is SE Salmon Street which becomes SE Reservoir Loop Drive. Or, you could test your cardio and do the 45-degree staircase up the middle section from the lower reservoir to the upper reservoir. About 2-dozen ppl up there after sunset.
