I know you’re gone,
but I still see you in EVERYTHING.

I see you more now,
in every if, and, but, and how.

Sweet dreams baby girl.

It’s crazy how you can be through hell and high water and somehow things can still be worse than they were. It’s almost like collecting the trauma and memories just finally was too much weight for me to carry.

I know nobody will see this probably but I’ve been at one of the lowest points of my life and I’m trying, but I feel like art was such a pipe dream and I was never meant to be good enough to do it as a job. I’m sorry I’ve made false promises of coming back. I wanted to. I did.

Hey all sorry I’ve disappeared. A lot of things happened including dealing with the aftermath of my surgery not be handled properly and today I found out my 1 year old hamster most likely has Cushing’s disease. I don’t think life will ever give me a break lol.

I really hope you get them back, that’s absolutely horrible uhg :(

Hope things look up for you soon ❤️ that’s a lot at once

Have you ever heard of a Dhole?

Now you have ! These Endangered canids are unique and charismatic critters native to parts of Asia.

I wish I could hold and cherish them, and I know others do too. Therefore...

Go get yourself a Dhole plush to hug!!

I know it’s so awful how neglected these issues are! My meds worked great, it doesn’t always work for everyone but I am glad it bought me a few years. I realized too how much my depression coincides with my pain so I hope I’ll be in a better headspace like I was first time I went on Natazia 🙏

Originally I had made an appointment for my first surgery consult as a teenager, during that time I also started a sample of a new birth control pill called Natazia. During my first few months on Natazia, despite my body taking time to adjust, I had relief, I thought I didn’t need surgery for now. It would take me 8 months of fighting incusrance and trialing several different pills, causing immense pain, before I was able to find that legally they were required to give me this option. After everything else failed to improve my quality of life. I would go onto having a couple years where I barely noticed the daily pain, bleeding became infrequent and light. Last year I starting bleeding regularly again, then it got heavier, more painful, more frequent, longer. The daily pain came back tenfold. I started having pain before, during and right after going to the bathroom. I began waking up several times a night from the pain, regardelss of menstration. During all this I was dealing with increased pain and swelling in my whole body that worsened during mentration. I went to all sorts of specialists, all coming to the same conclusion; I have some sort of inflammatory disease. My bloodwork showed it, my body showed it, but nothing they could find was specific enough to figure out what was causing all these weird changes. This is only a fraction of what I had been feeling, and every month it was getting worse. I decided to tell my OBGYN that I wanted to move forward with surgery after the question of endometriosis would come up again and again.

While waiting for my surgery date I began to feel weak all over. Muscle spasms and tremors I struggled with years ago had returned with extreme weakness in my legs. It wasn’t until one particularly painful breakthrough bleed that I began falling all day long. I had days that I would simply have to crawl on the ground to do things for my pets because if I bent down I would fall over. That week was so bad I spent my nights yelling out in pain and sobbing because I had no relief, nothing could stop how horrible I felt, I started throwing up from how bad the pain was. I was often sleeping or in bed for several full days after work days because of the exhaustion. I have always hated people telling me what I “could or couldn’t do” so everyday to push through I began dissociating and hyperfocusing on how I felt getting to lay in bed.

I no longer had time for myself, my art, my friends. People told me it was as simple as quitting my job, but I had a lot of time I could have spent doing other things, it’s just all I felt good enough to do was sleep. I have become extremely depressed and anxious. I spend a good deal of time hiding how bad I had let this build up to be and it was starting to fall apart. People began noticing I wasn’t walking correctly, that I struggled getting up from the ground or even chairs, that I was forgetting simple things or messing up all the time, completely unfocused. It’s because the pain and weakness was getting worse and the disassociating has controlled my life and I had no more room in my head for anything else. I had felt so sick for so long I forgot what it was like to have a “good day”.

I don’t know exactly what this surgery will have in store from me until I wake up. The only thing that has kept me going is the hope that we find what it is that is causing my pain so that we can improve my quality of life. I don’t expect a magic cure or miracle, but all I want is to feel better, even if it’s temporary and even if it’s only a little bit. I want to be able to do things again, and I want to have my mind back. So I hope to see you soon with a little more strength and a little more hope.

So I hope to see you soon with a little
more strength and a little more hope.

Amazing work! 🦖❤️

Goose and Blossom. Two ferrets laying in a hammock together.

Please, if you can spare anything, consider donating to my Kofi. More than any other time I desperately need help.

My ferrets are hospitalised with a suspected infection and costs are piling up and I'm scared. I never, ever expected two of them to be so ill at once.

Please.

We recommend at my work people cook there’s to at least the minimum to get rid of bacteria, you can add supplements to their diet for anything lost in cooking. I know someone who lost a cat to it unfortunately, meat is just not well regulated for raw consumption pet food or not.

NEVER AGAIN

NOT IN OUR NAME

NEVER AGAIN IS NOW

NO KINGS HERE ❌ #nokings

If you can't attend the rallies today for whatever reasons, something useful you can do is scour your local news outlets for coverage and share the coverage on social media and pump it out to all of your networks. Amplify what's happening locally so others in your communities are aware.

“No Kings”. Los Angeles. Just wow.

Americans all across the country are rising up in protest of Donald Trump.

no pride in genocide

My boyfriend brought me to the zoo AND threw me a surprise birthday party with his family and some friends this past weekend it was awesome 🥹❤️🎂
