I decided not to make my annual donation in 2023. Then, as we all know, everything imploded. With everything that happened last year, the closing of the forums, and how the organization has handled it so far, I can't in good conscience participate in the official event anymore.

#NaNoWriMo was a yearly tradition I've always looked forward to. Writing a novel alongside thousands of others, cheering each other on. The forums made me feel like part of the community. But, the organization has lost its charm.

This year would be my 12th time participating in #NaNoWriMo. But, with the way they've mishandled all of these controversies for the past two years and destroyed the community, there's no point. I'll be writing 50,000 words in November, but not through the NaNo organization.

I saw Daughtry, Staind, and Breaking Benjamin last night. As a fan of Breaking Benjamin and #Halo, I loved seeing the Halo HUD on the screen at the show during their performance of “Blow Me Away.” Nice nod to Halo 2

Saw some golden larches during my midweek hike! I’ve never seen them before, so it was a great time, even if most are still light green. #larchmadness #larches #pnw

I haven't done much hiking and exploring so far this year, other than my road trip down to the Redwoods. But, I've been going up to Seattle every month and making new friends, which I really wanted to prioritize this year. I've also been running in the mornings, which is nice.

Some photos of the Pride flag raising event at the state capitol yesterday. #PrideMonth #Washington

Things that didn’t happen tonight: - Seeing the aurora borealis for a second night in a row Things that did happen tonight in search of the northern lights: - Almost getting sprayed by a skunk - Listening to coyotes in the distance - Admiring the stars

I say with my own eyes, because my camera captured a very faint aurora once in 2017, even though I couldn't see it

Still not over last night. My first time seeing the Aurora Borealis with my own eyes was incredible #Auroraborealis #NorthernLights #washington #pnw

The Aurora Borealis/Northern Lights over Mount Rainier last night #pnw #washington #NorthernLights #Auroraborealis

Views of Mount Rainier / Tahoma from the plane yesterday

I don't visit this platform much anymore. I guess I'm not on social media much in general. I've been writing and working, mostly. But, I did get out and explore this weekend. Here's two photos from over the weekend.

I can confidently say that The Wheel of Time might be one of the worst book adaptations of all time. They changed so much that it doesn't feel like the same story. So disappointing.

Please @elonmusk @X , bring back headlines for website articles! Now nobody knows what they're clicking on. You've made it easier to mislead people than ever.

Spent two days exploring the Olympic Peninsula this week. #waterfallwednesday

An update on the National Park Service’s permits for filming. A Mount Rainier National Park employee said that I don’t need a permit if my purpose isn’t to generate income or sponsorship, and I don’t use models or props. So, if you want to film at MRNP, don’t monetize it.
