Today was her last day.

Photo shows an image of a medium small brown short-haired dog with her ears flapping in the wind as she gets all the smells on her way to the Rainbow Bridge.
We gave her the best life we possibly could. The unfairness of living longer than our companions is not lost upon me this day.
Peace and sweet memories to you.
<3
The hurt of having to make that decision never fully goes away, but if you did it right -- and it sounds like you did -- the joy and love of your life with her will always chase away the sad moments. Godspeed, best girl.

Mt. St. Helens souvenirs
alt text
Postcard of a volcano erupting and a small glass jar with light gray ash and a damaged handwritten label that says "St Helens erupted May"
A couple of souvenirs from the eruption that i recently found while cleaning out a corner of the basement. The postcard is to my mom from her sister, who lived in Seattle at the time. It was mailed in July, so the printers wasted no time getting merch together after the eruption.
The jar is ash that we collected on a visit to my grandparent's house that summer in Hillsboro. I remember flying past the mountain on the approach to Portland and seeing the huge crater on the side. I don't remember the month we visited, but likely June, because school would have been out but it was fresh enough that their yard made ash plumes when you walked across the grass. My dad got on their roof with a garden hose to help clean it off.

A) SO COOL, thanks for showing this!! B) JEALOUS
and C) I missed Mt. St Helens and even as a little kid was SO SAD I missed it when people talked about how the ash made it all the way to Wyoming (nothing like this, tho.) When Yellowstone burned in 1988 (36% of it!) everyone talked about how the ash on their cars and porches reminded them of when Mt. St. Helens erupted. So after Black Saturday when 150k acres burned in one day and the ash was really bad, I scraped up a bunch of ash from a windshield, put it in a jelly jar, and with my looney toon kid ass mind labeled it "Mt. St Helens ash," then took it to school to show off this "volcanic ash" with obvious pine needles and bark in it that smelled like a forest fire to a bunch of kids who lived in the same place I did.
So D) SUPER JEALOUS
NEAT!!!

When I was in Cub Scouts (or maybe it was Webelos at that time), our scout master gave everyone in the troop little, clear plastic containers (like size of a roll of 35mm film) of Mt. St. Helens ash. I kept it for the longest time, but I think it's long gone now. Always thought that was such a neat memento.

You know, I saw every episode of M*A*S*H at least three times when I was a kid but I guess it's not until ~40 years later that you realize how deep an impact something like a tv show can have on how you treat those around you.

Harmonies Pizza & Ice Cream

A storefront window with white vinyl signage reading Harmonies Pizza & Ice Cream.
My friend Will, late of Handsome Pizza on Killingsworth, has against all odds opened a new parlor in St Johns, PDX.
He was kind enough to ask me to design a logo for the new spot and managed to get vinyl installed in time for last week's friends & family opening.

Will's a friend of mine as well! Love the logo design, great work on that. Happy to have access to his pizza again, even if the new location is quite a hike for me out in Gresham.
came back to say that this photo has the vibe of fred herzog shot. nice.
and nice work on the logo! it looks great!

A colorful illustration in a pen-and-ink style (although probably done digitally). Four musicians appear, one standing on a pouring 7-Up can, one on a pair of lips, one on a UFO, and one on a giant keyboard (playing drunks), while in the background more keyboards, the Hollywood sign, a red-headed woman with long eyelashes, a monkey, clouds and rainbows, and a checkerboard pattern appear.

A person stands next to an ice axe on an icy surface. In the distance is Mt. Saint Helens erupting. The second photo shows the same person now seated with their hand on their head and the eruption is now ominously larger.

happy anniversary, you weirdos!
on this day in 2017, we went live thanks to the time and energy of so many wonderful people.
nine insane-assed years later, MLTSHP is still a source of daily joy, support, and discovery for me. i have art, music, and goodies from MLTSHPers all over my home. i’ve shared meals and adventures with many of y’all; i’ve commiserated and goofed with even more of y’all. here’s to many more.
(BTW, i happened to wear my lovely ol’ MLKSHK shirt to the farmers market this morning. tried to get a selfie in it for my celebratory post, but i was not lookin’ particularly sassy. instead you get an even older MLKSHK shirt and said beloved hoodie sans me. the hoodie and a bunch of other great stuff designed by heyitsal is still up in the webstore:

A red text-based public artwork by Frank Riot displayed in a JCDecaux advertising panel outside Holborn Station in London, UK. The poster reads: "When you've got rid of all the mosques but the costs of life still rise and you'e built your fortressed borders but the NHS still dies and the Muslims are all gone and your town's a wall of white but corporate vultures are still pillaging every facet of our lives who will you blame then? What will you have gained? A badge for barbarism against a backdrop of decay." Pedestrians walk past the bus shelter on a busy city street.
Oh, there will be no lack of scapegoats.

A macro photograph of a teeny tiny basil plant that is about half the size of the index finger fingernail that’s pointing to it
I have two volunteer basil plants this year (first time ever for me!), and this is one of them. So wee! Itsy bitsy! I will protect it fiercely.
good luck!
i love fresh basil but the couple times i tried they sadly did not make it. i hope you have much better luck than i did!

@nikkuneko Thanks! Like most years we have several plants that I expect will be waist-high by mid-summer or so, but I’ve never had any volunteers, so this teeny little super guy is a fun surprise.
We all need a little Grace today.
