We recognize no king except the king in the north… 😬😂 What a week, y’all.

My tummy hurts and I’m mad at the government. 😡😡😡

Greetings fellow travelers. We’ve made it to another Monday. The horrors persist.

Is that February? Finally?! I feel like I’ve been slogging through 2020 again. Ugh.

Can I get a ✨SCREAMS INTO THE VOID✨?

That was a nice break from an existential crisis. I’ve returned to reality, and the weight of everything is on my chest again. Anxiety, stress. People I care about are losing their ability to exist. I feel helpless.

Taking a break from the world being on fire to celebrate my partner for a few days. I’ll be back. 🤍✨

So many questions, not enough answers. Today I am feeling the grief like a stone in my chest.

Ramen cures exhaustion. I tried the mayo/egg yolk sauce mix. It’s really good! Jammy eggs & meatballs for my proteins. Don’t forget the chili oil 👌🏻🤤

It would be awful to forget them! But Boiled? Mashed? In a stew? I am partial to them with fried fish.

That’s the best part! Tasty hobbit meals. I suppose I must add the cozy reading nook, and all the nibbles we can stand. 🤍

I’m coming apart at the seams. Piecing myself together enough to be able to exist instead of just survive feels indescribably hard these days. Find me in my hobbit hole.

Watched someone use “ok, Karen” in one of my community groups. The audacity of this old white dude… Ok, boomer?

Here are some nice mushrooms

I refuse to be human today. Would I rather be three owls in a trench coat or raccoons? It might even be a scurry of squirrels instead. Careful… I bite. 😂👌🏻

A spiral galaxy with two arms: one stretching to the top right of the image, the second to the bottom left. The arms appear orange/red. The centre is really bright. A lot of background galaxies can be spotted everywhere, with one of them appearing like a ghost behind the main galaxy of this image!

Hubble still got our back whenever we feel overwhelmed! 🔭

This is the NGC-2442 galaxy (~50 million light years away), as seen by Hubble in 2021.

To be honest, I think that this is one of my best processed Hubble image to this day 😊

Joy is an act of resistance.
We need joy as we need air.
As the world grows dark, and threatens to suffocate,
Don’t forget to steal a moment of joy as an act of rebellion.

For all the flak George Lucas gets for his writing, pretty hard to deny the "so this is how liberty dies" line is an unfortunately spot on banger.

Image title - One Headlight. Milky-way over snow capped mountain night scene, interrupted by car driving out of the fog laden valley below.

One Headlight.

Shooting the Milky Way and having composed this image, a vehicle emerged from the fog-laden valley below. Initially annoyed, I was to delete this file. But this image has become my favourite from that night's shoot.

Take-away, don't delete files in camera.

The country is in a state of fight or flight. Dig in, or give up. Do or do not. It’s exhausting to be a human in this world.

River wants to know how you are. Are you drinking water? Have you taken a few deep breaths? You can cuddle on the couch with us if you want. 🤍✨

Newest Tarot deck to add to the dragon hoard. 🃏🤍✨

Hibernating looks like crafting. The thumbtack dragon eggs are a favorite. Plus it makes a good prop for my dungeons & dragons campaigns. 🤍✨

It’s 12 degrees today. However!Snow demands photography. Giving my best Lord of the Rings ranger, hobbit look in a Knight weave cloak. 🏔️🤍✨

Doggo snoot. 🤍✨

2025
The year I have a lifestyle I thrive in, instead of only survive. 🤍✨♾️

It’s ❄️Winter❄️, lovely creatures.
Time to stay warm, do dopamine activities and maybe hit the slopes. What do you do when it gets really cold?
Also seasonal sads? Here for you 🤍✨♾️

I’m out here lurking in the woods. Freaking out the neighbors on my adventure to become local myth.
