Tuesday is always a special day. The chaos of Monday is over, but it's not yet the middle of the week. It's a day I've always liked a lot. You don't have the anticipation rush of the weekend, but neither the sadness of its end.
Have a great Tuesday, whoever is reading!

This is a strange little rock that I found in #GoldenGatePark that looks like some weird altar or ancient tool.

It will definitely fit the #Mosstodon label, as well as #TextureTuesday I think.

Maybe #parkaeology ? (Nah…)

Okay, a little mystery also for today. After the Toxic Club, my
brother and I got a strawberry limeade at a little drive inn, and drove around this Conservation Area, but then we start seeing this fence with these signs, it's like 8 foot tall with lots of the fence totally blacked out, and these signs placed on them that say:

Saline Valley Ranch, No Hunting, No Trespassing

This fence went for miles, and miles had to be incredibly pricey to put in, it reminded me of the fence they'd have at a minimum security prison, but we didn't see cows, horses, crops, nothing but woods and hills and miles and miles of giant fence.

We try to find information about what it is, but there's basically nothing. My husband looks it up on Google Earth, and finds Little Saline Ranch, and I look it up, and it says permanently closed, and even less information is available about that. Google Earth shows lots of wooded land, a lake, and a few open fields, but we couldn't see any buildings or animals, nothing like that.

So, looking up that I find this article about mysterious happenings in the area:

https://www.cjonline.com/story/news/local/2018/10/31/hunting-ghosts-miller-county-other/9408986007

It mentions several people seeing a Bigfoot type cryptid in the area, so obviously the fence is to keep it in. My other guesses involve a government blacksite, as it isn't too far from and airforce base, or a doomsday cult, what do you all think?

Yeaaah, I’m thinking this is permanently out of service, not ‘temporarily’!

This was seen in a small park area next to the SF Bay, right after a big renovation. This refuse container was taller than me and wide and FILLED to the top with oyster shells that had been cleared out of the bay during reconstruction of the area.

So many shells!

What if the weird thoughts I have popping into my head are animals trying to telepathically communicate with me?

Whenever I laugh at a line in a movie, hubs will look up a T-shirt with the line on Co-pilot, and send me the results. The line was:

She missed her High Colonic?!

SHE WOULD NEVER DO THAT!

In the latest edition of "complicated communication misfires I want to pick at," remember that your knowledge isn't always common.

People form simple opinions about complex issues. The mind you may find yourself arguing with doesn't necessarily have ANY awareness of the complexities and nuances of the thing they're arguing about. They may very well be parroting talking points which were fed to them.

If you're arguing presuming they know the roots of a systemic problem, you could be wrong.

Hello! I want to do a Spooky Picture Prompt! So, find a picture in your camera roll that would represent the phrase:

Last Picture on the Camera Roll

This should be spooky, but completely up to your own interpretation. Here's one from me, with weird eclipse light.

Privacy is a human right.
If you don’t understand that privacy brings dignity, you are probably awash in privilege.

I think #ThankYouTuesday sounds like a nice idea.

It obviously needs to branch out, but maybe a week to think about that will help me… so, at first:

Thanks to @stefano
for the idea, and @me for the boost.

Positivity is downright radical action in today’s world. Let’s keep it going!
