Day trips to new places 🌦️

I’d like to thank Taylor Swift and Dr. Pepper for getting me though this travel day.

Just your golden child eldest daughter turned ragging liberal going to visit their conservative family for four days.

*me at the airport*
“Where are you going”
“A funeral”

Airports are so weird. Just a hub of people waiting together who will probably never see each other again.

Middle School special education 👌🏼

My grandma died on yesterday and I went to work. If I’m going to be sad I’m going to be paid for it.

I love live music with cool people. I love last minute plans that work out.

I had my quarterly review and I knocked the shit out of the park ✌🏼

Another beautiful day in King Artdur’s Kingdom #KingArtdur

Kris’ dogs bestie girl. She is a small French bulldog stretch on the steps of their porch.

Arthur, a tuxedo cat stand on a porch chair with his paws on the table. He’s is enjoying the weather.

My plans were canceled, so now I’m enjoying the weather with my cat, dog and my dogs bestie girl. It’s a good day.

I honestly believe our most powerful position in a toxic time that feeds on cynicism, apathy,& despair is to genuinely care and act for a better world.

Cynicism is our enemy. We should check it, incl. on the left. It’s not intellectually superior. It’s the virus they’re trying to infect us with. NO

I get she’d so much at work, I forget I’m nonbinary

Wake up and release your inner bitches or whatever Natasha Bedingfield said.

Cat person 100%. By my partner came with a dog, so I’m a dog person for THAT dog.

I’ve been out as nonbinary for 5 years this week.

Reasons to Live Through the Apocalypse Sunrises. People you have still to meet and laugh with. Songs about love, peace, anger, and revolution. Walks in the woods. The smile you exchange with a stranger when you experience beauty accidentally together. Butterflies. Seeing your grandparents again. The moon in all her forms, whether half or full. Dogs. Birthdays and half-birthdays. That feeling of floating in love. Watching birds eat from bird feeders. The waves of happiness that follow the end of sadness. Brown eyes. Watching a boat cross an empty sea. Sunsets. Dipping your feet in the river. Balconies. Cake. The wind in your face when you roll the car window down on an open highway. Falling asleep to the sound of a steady heartbeat. Warm cups of tea on cold days. Hugs. Night skies. Art museums. Books filled with everything you do not yet know. Long conversations. Long-lost friends. Poetry.

I wrote this on one of the darkest days of my life. It gave me an anchor to hold onto.

The cutest cat in the world hiding under the dresser

We’ve come a long way from hiding under the dresser 💙 Surfer Girl #catsofbluesky

e-readers are just literary devices

A fun fact about me, one time I did an entire series for a print class on how much I “strongly disliked” Betsy Devos, and now I’m blocked on instagram.

No shame. Get famous on Bluesky so people send us platypus squishmallows of all sizes.

Earlier this year I paid my second to last debt off. I’m slowly working on my personal loan I took out for school. Debt free by 2026? *fingers crossed*

My cat doesn’t approve of all these days off, mainly because no one is up and in the bathroom at 6:07 for his morning water faucet drink.
