PSA: President Biden has so far made 166 life-tenured appointments to our federal courts. Of those, two-thirds are women and two-thirds are people of color, including Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson.

Representation matters. And when you’re voting, you’re also voting for the person who’s going to fill the courts.

Current view from my desk. (Well, from my office chair looking up at my supervisor who is reviewing my work from the back of said chair.) #Caturday #FreelanceLife #Editing

A black and brown tortoiseshell cat looks down at the camera. To the right is a bookshelf sitting above a window lit by daylight.

After the showers…. #StetWalk @stetwalk

Yellow oxalis flowers growing next to a gray concrete sidewalk.

@eliotedits Oh, no! I can only imagine the awkward replacements. 😆

Why, autocorrect, do you think I use “yo” more than “to”? 🤦🏻‍♀️

I’ve fallen out of the habit of posting a #StetWalk photo every day, even though I’ve maintained the habit of stepping away from my screens each day yo move my body.

Grateful for the dear friend who invited me to explore the tide pools during today’s minus tide. It got me out into the glorious sunshine. @stetwalk

The sun shines in a clear blue sky. Puddles of seawater lie amidst the exposed rock and green sea grass. In the distance, people of all ages walk on the rocks.

When your power goes out and you can’t lower the footrest on your powered couch. #Caturday

Grace, a brown and black tortoiseshell cat, stares at the camera while she sits on the raised footrest of a gray leather couch.

This spot is a 10 minute walk from my house. The waves are so big right now that I can still hear them when I’m inside my house with all the doors and windows closed. #StetWalk @stetwalk

A view of the Pacific Ocean under a gray, storm cloud-filled sky.

We managed to have one clear day, at least, before the next storm hits. #StetWalk @stetwalk

View of Capitola Beach at sunset. The damaged wharf is silhouetted in the fading light and is standing on the muffle of large waves. Logs and branches cover almost the entire sandy beach. Clouds tinged with pink streak the sky and allow a bit of blue to peek through.

@tanyagold @karenyin @stetwalk I mean, I kinda gamified it for myself when I did a #ScavengerHunt for a color each week. 🤷🏻‍♀️

@KristenTatroe @karenyin @stetwalk
Are we about to start gamifying #StetWalk?

2023-01-10

@tanyagold @karenyin @stetwalk Like #StetWalk side quests? 😄

2023-01-10

@tanyagold Thank you. 💜 I’m good where I’m at, thankfully. It’s going to be a looong recovery effort for this area, though, especially since the main industry here is tourism.

2023-01-10

@tanyagold Yep, pretty much. 😔 So many roadways washed out or flooded today, and there’s more rain on the way.

This beach was mostly clear of driftwood yesterday. Adolescent-age human toward the left for scale because these are *not* itty bitty twigs in that pile. (No comment on the fact that humans of any size were walking on the beach in these conditions.) #StetWalk @stetwalk

A long pile of large logs on a beach in front of high, stormy waves. A turbulent, gray, cloudy sky overhead.

To put some perspective on the power of last week’s storm: It left ENTIRE TREES on our beach.

Another storm with lots of water (but, thankfully, less wind) headed our way tomorrow. Stay safe, West Coast friends. #StetWalk @stetwalk

Tree-height logs with roots lie on rocks and the brown sand of Capitola Beach.

In anticipation of this evening, the Daily Kos proofreaders braced the editorial staff for the technical language that would be necessary in dealing with this event. These are the vital facts that you should know as we prepare for what may, or may not, be the final round of voting.

“Shit show” is two words. “Clusterfuck” is one word.

What’s going on tonight in the House of Representatives … is beyond words.

Found some magic at the front of my neighbor’s yard, then realized it’s also #FungiFriday 😆 🍄 #StetWalk @stetwalk

The five stages of editor grief:

-Denial: No, no, no, my edits can't be gone.
-Anger: WTF! Where are they?
-Bargaining: I'll be less pedantic this time, I swear. Just restore my file.
-Depression: Time to drown my sorrows in chocolate.
-Acceptance: Back to it, then.
