Seems to be a San Antonio custom to put the mop outdoors to dry. Could be related to the relentless mold spores.

Avec ce hors-série axé autour du plus vieux métier du monde, l'auteur frappe quelques statistiques au coin du bon sens puis d'autres considérations à ceux du pessimisme et de la lucidité, le tout avec un humour ravageur. Un régal !

I'm too twitchy, and haven't read the manual, but I tried.
Car lights, traffic lights, Lucky Rabbit Bar lights.
It was a nice day for a walk in the neighborhood.

* Wonder Walk - Glows *
Down at Wonder Parkway I paused for fading sunlight.
A quiet glow at the horizon quickly faded.
#SanAntonio #CityView #Sunset
![Ah. The Martinez Creek. It says that on the google map. Wonder Parkway is a single lane each side. It has bridges sometimes [one is visible here] for cross streets.
The ditch is concrete a dozen paces wide and shoulder deep. It has a reflective trickle in this pic, tho I have seen it filled.
A car's tail lights glow as it has just passed the bridge, and house lights show in the background.](https://s3.eu-central-2.wasabisys.com/mastodonworld/media_attachments/files/109/985/387/456/146/672/small/0ff55783caa0fadc.jpeg)
* Wonder Walk - Moons *
I went for a walk down by Wonder Parkway.
Tried to get some pics of the full moon.
A nice day, warm. But pollen sneezes.
[descriptions on pics]
#SanAntonio #moon #CityView
![Trying to get the bright full moon [and never having read the book on my camera] I set up a shot next to the gas price sign at Nassau Market.
$2.79/gal in San Antonio.
This shows a blank white circle for the moon, but that's better than I usually do.](https://s3.eu-central-2.wasabisys.com/mastodonworld/media_attachments/files/109/985/323/952/463/261/small/11d27bb7aba8ecef.jpeg)
* View From My Door *
As I went out for a walk on 3/5 the full moon was in sight.
And, amazingly, some detail shows.
[me and the camera have a really bad relationship]
#SanAntonio #moon
* Moon, Stars, and Planets *
I was on a walk to the corner store near sunset when I noticed shiny things.
I never RTFM for my pocket camera, so I cope by putting the shiny thing near some other things it can focus on.
The full moon next to a utility pole, with bonus wire frame.
Multicolor stars on a wall, from across the street.
Venus and Jupiter doing a slow dance over a billboard advertising the value of education.

Look at this gem. A postcard from @knoebels showing the reconstruction of #Phoenix after it was transported from #SanAntonio #Texas
Do you see the parking in front of the ride? Imagine parking there!
If you've been to the park recently you know how different this area looks now. Lots of trees still, but an antique car ride, flat rides, and Phoenix Junction have also been built in this area.

Re: our last two boosted posts
With accelerationist fascist groups like Atomwaffen being implicated in attacks on the power grids, it becomes more important to stay aware about those networks. They are often less visibly present compared to street movements like the Proud Boys or Patriot Front, but they move through shared worlds and are dangerous in their own ways.
Our CenTex Fascists page lists a couple of AWD members locally who were exposed in the last few years. We have not seen many updates to this information in the last year or two, but if there is any we would happily update the page.
Steven Billingsley (SATX), Benjamin Bogard (New Braunfels, Luis Enrique Melendrez Jr. (SATX), Ethan Landrum-Denby (ATX), are some of the notable names associated with this milieu locally.
See more information about them and other exposed fascists in our region here: https://austinautonomedia.noblogs.org/know-your-enemy/centex-fascists/
If you notice any information that needs updating, or know of other exposed fascists who have not been added to this list, let us know in a comment or a DM!

“It was a real life example of one hateful group threatening harm and decent people supporting and defending their community.”

#Russia is doing a lot of work to protect its major cities (and seaside resorts) from #Ukrainian launched GPS guided #drone attacks.

From our archives: This is Texas Freedom Force made a name for themselves through protecting Confederate monuments in the state. https://www.texasobserver.org/whos-defending-texas-confederate-monuments/
Tonight in #SanAntonio, #Texas, hundreds turned out to shout down a much smaller far-Right mobilization against a Christmas drag event. Far-Right event was organized by This is Texas Freedom Force. Neo-Nazis from Patriot Front were also in attendance. Large contingent of armed antifascists. Photos via @stevanzetti
Per @stevanzetti, it sounds like things are wrapping up at the Aztec Theater in #SanAntonio: "There have been no incidents of violence, no scuffles, no arrests, and the #drag show went off without a hitch."
We'll have Steven's report from the event available on our website later this week.
Another account to follow tonight from #SanAntonio, Candice Bernd from TruthOut, who reports, "It’s basically a block party at this point. Honestly it’s heartening." https://nitter.net/CandiceBernd
Texans protect each other. via @stevanzetti: At this point, the pro-#LGBTQ counterprotest appears to be five times the size of the anti-LGBTQ protest outside the #drag show at the Aztec Theatre in #SanAntonio, Texas.
via @stevanzetti: Despite the presence of armed protesters outside the #drag show in #SanAntonio tonight, the pro-#LGBTQ counter protest has basically become an open air party. https://nitter.net/stevanzetti/status/1602853583904542720#m
Steven: Here's a patch worn by a military veteran with #Veterans for Equality, who decided he wanted to show up for #LGBTQ+ rights today in opposition to the extremist militia protesting the #drag show here in #SanAntonio, Texas.

Joey Palacios of Texas Public Radio reports #LGBTQ+ supporters outnumber fash by 4 to 1 in #SanAntonio.
Steven: Due to the threat of armed TITFF members outside the drag show tonight some #LGBTQ supporters in #SanAntonio have decided to open carry in response. (LGBTQ open-carry supporters are the group seen here dressed in head-to-toe black)
