I only care ‘bout one person at the Met Gala, and it’s #DavidByrne!

I didn’t find any 2024 pics (2023 was great, him in all white with his bicycle)

but did find that #StopMakingSense Anniversary edition released in 2023 is currently on MAX.

#PsychoKiller is appropriate.

Turn it up and dance!

#TalkingHeads

I let my guy friend know this Anniversary Restoration of Stop Making Sense was on MAX.

Without watching he mansplained to me that I was mistaken and it wasn’t the restoration.

WTF is wrong with dudes?

I finally made the trek to meet Bruunidun. She’s a #ThomasDambo giant #troll making her home next to Puget Sound in Lincoln Park in West Seattle. Idun is playing a troll sized flute to call home native #Orcas.

Go #TeamOrca! And trolls!

#Mosstodon

Yesterday I visited Bruun Idun, again, (“Eden” for short).

She’s still chillin in the foresty forest of Lincoln Park, West Seattle, next to Puget Sound, playing her flute to summon resident orcas home.

This is currently my favorite walk. It’s 2 miles round trip and gives me forest, beach time and is just right.

A radical British politics rooted in nature is spreading – and the establishment doesn’t like it.

Just got off a video call with a healthcare provider at #Swedish #CherryHill in #Seattle. He told me Swedish system just brought back required masking for everyone, staff and patients, this week. He said “It’s not because of COVID. It’s because of flu, RSV and pneumonia.” He really needed me to know that! So the denial about COVID is still in place along with masks, masks that, fyi, are not for COVID! 🤨

@bassjobsen “[…] there is no reasonable argument against the use of respirator masks in healthcare settings. The arguments against their use seem to center on comfort or cost, neither of which have previously been acceptable reasons for a reduction in the standard of care offered to patients or the duty of care owed to staff and patients.”
