Lately I’ve been in my fungi appreciation era since it’s winter/fungi season in Northern California 🍄❤️

roommate got me a bunch of goodies from @fossilforager.bsky.social for Christmas!!!

I’m currently sick over the holidays, but seeing people’s photos showing off gifted goodies from my shop does help me feel slightly better :’) thank you so much to everyone who supported my art this holiday season ❤️

I made (and ate) an omelet that deserved a modeling contract, and A Santa who decided I was good enough delivered this delightful pin by @fossilforager.bsky.social (OBSESSED)

Celebrate Fungal Biodiversity! 🍄

I am starting to get sick right before Christmas (which is somewhat of a nuisance), but I am admittedly more annoyed about the fact that I have a mushroom foraging class booked this weekend and will be very upset if I can’t go 😭

Celebrate Fungal Biodiversity! 🍄

so I think the guy who wrote “My Favorite Things” wrote it to spread winter superiority propaganda. because why is the song in a musical that’s set in the summer

I saw this pin from @fossilforager.bsky.social earlier this year and sent a link to my bestie. My bday was on 12/8 and I got my pin from her! It's perfect and lovely and I couldn't be happier. 🥰

I think part of the reason social media is exhausting is that you have 17 year olds talking about celebrities in their 30s “aging like a fine wine”. like girl come on that is not even old 😭

My new nudibranch keychain decorations from @fossilforager.bsky.social ! The purse has a Cooper's aeolid and the wallet has an orange-peel doris. PERFECT defenses for my tendency to lose essentials in dim corners and dark surfaces.
