last night i learned abt a book about Steely Dan from a 30 Rock meme group i’m in, and if that’s not the most on-brand thing to ever happen to me…

I personally think AI gen stuff is ugly and super bad for the environment and I don’t think it’s fun!! Sorry!!!

Apartment with Deep Pile Carpet $500/m A Couple Paintings from Sears $75 Big Water Bed $36,000 Utility $150 someone who is good at the economy please help us budget this. The money has gotten tight and we just didn't count on the tears.

ever since i found out i can’t have garlic (rip) we’ve gotten funkier with our substitutes for “garlic bread” sides. tonight’s meal: veggie chx parm pasta w/ parmesan black pepper soft pretzels. 10/10 slay of a friday night meal

had an incredible few days trading on lucky sweater!! i got a handmade silk top, a pair of handmade turkish leather loafers, an incredible pair of patterned trousers, and this handmade cup!!!

made something silly this morning 🪡 💊 🪷 #whitelotus #embroidery

today my coworker & i sat outside our university union and encouraged people to write postcards to their elected officials & uni admin. we also passed out info on how to submit comments to oppose LB552 in nebraska. in ~2hr, we had 50 stamped post cards ready to send out!!!

Unless you’re disabled or chronically ill and isolated from a society that makes every in-person human interaction a risk to your life then you don’t get to lecture me about which social media I should quit because your “moral high ground” demands I become even more lonely and alone.

vest from my art trade came in and it’s gorgeousssss

things break By Kathryn Nore

eating cheese danishes & watching rent is a pretty solid way to spend a sunday

i’ve barely gotten food poisoning since going vegetarian in 2019 so it feels particularly cruel that spring mix would fuck up my body so much 😩

got some good light today so took the opportunity to make my partner take higher quality photos of my recent embroidery piece so so so thrilled with how this turned out. i learned so much!! 🪡

second ever hand embroidered patch = DONE ✅

happy snow day i’m gonna watch Moonstruck and do arts & crafts 🙂‍↕️

somehow finished this piece today!!! #embroidery #abstract

knot by knot and bead by bead we are making progress!!! #handembroidery #embroidery #WIP

a little progress on my current art trade!! #embroidery

probably my favorite thing I’ve ever embroidered 🪡

i’m so tired of the “don’t ask your friends to _____” posts bc like, you need someone to look over your resumé? send it to me. need someone to hold your hand at the dentist? lmk when and where. struggling to do dishes? can i come over and help? we are stronger together. this is what friends are for

having too much fun with my junk journal i fear

on my bullshit (making multiple to do lists)

Posting mostly to remind myself: We knew bad shit could come hot and fast from frump. We know it’s to shock and discourage us from keeping up the fight. We will not comply in advance. Small actions help people. Even lost battles doesn’t mean we won’t win the war.

Your nonbinary friends and family deserve complete love and affirmation of who they are. If your politics don’t allow you to challenge the status quo, your politics are wrong. If your politics prevent you from seeing the beauty out of the binary, your politics are primitive and harmful.

saturday spread #hobonichi #junkjournaling

i avoid commenting on celebrity passings due to the parasociality of the thing but David Lynch was an artist’s artist and a reminder to never explain yourself (when you don’t want to). one of the greatest filmmakers to ever do it.

too many people emailing me too many tasks with an ASAP deadline and i am overwhelmed!!!!!!!!!

Thanks to all for your kind remembrances on this awful day. Words will come later. Only feelings at the moment. Mourn and remember him but don’t forget to celebrate too. We won’t see his like again. The man from another place has gone home. #DavidLynch #TwinPeaks

david lynch dying was not on my 2025 bingo card and i am so so sad 😭

a friend of mine sent me the silliest pair of earrings as a surprise and i am in loooooooove 🎈 🪿

some of my favorite #hobonichi junk journal spreads of the year (so far!)

makin’ breakfast nachos for dinner

last time i was in for a haircut, i gave my stylist some washi tape and a field notes to give to her daughter. i got this in the mail today as a thank you for my gifts and oh my god did i cry

update as of 1/8: 3/42 Devil House by John Darnielle Freshwater by Akwaeke senesi (a re-read) A Good Happy Girl by Marissa Higgins

got some good light for a brief moment so here’s my current embroidery WIP!!! it’s for my first art trade of 2025! someone’s knitting me a vest!

first finished embroidery project of 2025!

2025 reading goal: 42 books

went to the library this morning. put 20 minutes on the meter in case i wanted to browse or got to chatting with one of the employees. ended up leaving with three books in four minutes 😅

UPDATE!!! IT WAS WORTH IT!! i have been working on this #embroidery for months because i’ve been so nervous to do these clouds, but i think they turned out really pretty 🥲

Sage writes with a force that continually knocks the wind out of my chest. THE Substack i look forward to the most. give them a follow!!!

just read this book in a single sitting, which is seldom something i can do but wow did this book hook me in #booksky 💙📚

slow progress on this patch but damn i think it’s gonna be worth it

participated in a not-so-secret-santa swap in the field nuts group and my first package came in today and i’m beyond thrilled!!! so so thoughtful to include so much ephemera too.

ins & outs for 2025 (so far)
