While taking long exposures at Lake Padden, I noticed these two beams in the middle of the lake. I decided they would be the center of my shot and I tried to line them up with the autumn leaves. Then these two birds decided to chill on the beams. So
I made a composite and called it ‘Two Friends’.

A great article from @sightlineinstitute about how Proportional Representation would benefit Whatcom County: https://www.sightline.org/2025/04/10/whatcom-county-eyes-a-prime-election-upgrade/

The Bellingham Queer Collective is having a Spring Dance this weekend: https://www.bellinghamqueercollective.org/

All queer fairies, elves, sorcerers, and furry friends are welcome

I may have an extra VIP ticket if someone is going to be in town

Dang, I'm really going to miss Zane Burger in #BellinghamWA. The thing I appreciated the most was their order ticket printer used red ink for any special instructions, and they NEVER messed up a special dietary request.

Just what we need, another bank. :(

That one was close. With the BC quake 9 days ago, I don’t like this trend. #BellinghamWA https://masto.ai/@lastquake/114098669993780059

@shansterable so #BellinghamWA #bli airport is less safe to fly into and out or six days a month? Is there a discount for flying on those days?

Yesterday, I parked at a Fred Meyer in #BellinghamWA . The van to my right had a sign on the back door that said "THE ONLY WAY IS JESUS NO OTHER WAY".

Then I looked at the van in front of me and it had a bumper sticker that said "TRUMP 2024 TAKE AMERICA BACK".

So, you can imagine my giggles when I returned to my car with my 3 items to find a Challenger with the word "Swinger" painted on the rear fenders had parked in front of the JESUS van, next to the Trump van.

Signature Plastics is a darling company in the custom keyboard scene, and they're based here in #WhatcomCounty, just outside of #BellinghamWA. https://mastodon.social/@mhoye/114008680163406523
