Ty!!

Thank you! It took a while to get the hang of it haha (pun intended)

Best twisted Russian climb I’ve done yet. Cut my foot open on the rope but it was worth it 😂

How unfortunate for me 😂😭

Thanks! Based on the initial tests they think they caught it early, and I’ve had no symptoms other than the rash, which is gone now. But I’m glad they’re making sure it’s really for real gone.

Having some follow up tests today for the Lyme disease that is hopefully gone after a course of antibiotics. I’m glad they’re taking it seriously, but every medical professional I’ve talked to is acting like they’ve never seen a case of Lyme before. It’s weird! Ticks are pretty common in Kentucky!

Sending lots of love your way!

HBD!!

Hey Louisville pals. This is TOMORROW, and if you’re feeling griefy this holiday season, I’d love to see you there. 💗

we have to go back. to warn them.

Eternally grateful to @elenaexisting.bsky.social for introducing me to THE PAINTED SKIN and its sequel (?) THE PAINTED SKIN: RESURRECTION. I love Chinese movie night.

Maybe it’s just me, but since I have 💀 parents, I’d rather volunteer on Thanksgiving than talk politics with my friend’s friend’s boyfriend’s aunt. 🤷‍♀️
