In June 2021 I took a lot more photos than the previous couple of months. After @susanmagnolia left to visit their mother I took more images of daily life to send along. And now I’ll share some of them here!
Look at that cut! How ridiculous it is! And from a plastic box no less…
I’m always disturbed when I see wounds on myself in certain places, such as my wrists, jugular, and Achilles tendon. This is, of course, barely superficial. But growing up, watching and reading the various ways people get taken out, my mind has mapped these points as my personal weak points; areas that would be glowing if I were a giant boss encounter.
So you see a tiny scratch, I see a reminder that I too am mortal, and must ward against random murder hobos moving into my lands!
This is the most “Central Valley California” photo I could take. It has it all: boundless land in all directions, voluminous clouds in the open sky, miles of manufacturing and storage designed to give humans their dopamine and sense of meaning.
Eventually we got to a point where a large truck and trailer tipped over across 4 lanes of traffic… and we were left in traffic for so long people lost their minds. They began speeding down the side of the highway so fast it shook our car from the gust, and then they would immediately need to skid to a halt as someone in front of them pulled out, either to do the same thing or to explicitly stop them from driving that way. The video I took without looking as we inched forward.
These are pics of strategically placed googly eyes on our laundry hamper, so it may freak out while we drive it in the car! The blanket stuffed in it make it looks like a chef’s hat.
