January prompt list for the photo project I'm starting next month! rachelakelso.com/2025/12/17/a...

anxiiiiiiiiiety

I've looked at my switch handheld too much this past week and my neck is messed up and our half-bath sink faucet is leaking underneath and I feel like the shut off valves also need replaced and I watched a YouTube video about how to replace these things and now I'm overwhelmed. Stupid pedestal sinks

For some reason it feels scary to say I'm gonna do a new daily photo challenge even though I have done a bunch of them!

Sometimes I get Choreography from White Christmas in my head but I replace the word "Choreography" with anxiety. "Chicks who did kicks Aren't kicking anymore They're doing anxiety"

Got the tree up and started watching my Christmas romances!

Here's an absolutely deranged marketing campaign for the 1949 rerelease of The Wizard of Oz

Daydreaming about things covered in cranberry chutney. Edible things mostly.

More than ever my life is moving from one room to another and not remembering why I did it

Back to full time animal crossing

Halloween!

My election day tradition (as an early mail in voter) is to ignore everything everyone is saying until it's all called and put up Christmas. This year I'm melding it with Halloween even more than usual!

Gettin' real into borrowing from my local library streaming options lately

Hopefully last push to get my good friends moved, Thanks everyone, SO MUCH <3 gofund.me/3092bce50

🦇🎃💀👻

I think we all need this right now

My friend Summer has changed her gofundme goal, their rent got raised and they're going to try to move somewhere cheaper. Any shares or even the smallest amount of money could help so much! Thanks for looking!

Grateful for time with my people

August and September, covid, my birthday, a little bit of Tulsa

This is my dear friend Summer and her husband James, they lost a lot of their assistance this year and are struggling to get by month to month. They're super good people and I love them! I would appreciate a share or help if you have the ability!

In 2014 I did a photo project that I paired with quotes, I have been going through and putting all the quotes in one place as a distraction and they're so good! Words are magical.

Not an actual interaction: I was on a flight with Kirstie Alley and she had a live rabbit with her. It was like she wanted to be approached, there was a line in the gate waiting area to pet her rabbit. I didn't do it but kind of regret it because she was letting everyone pet her rabbit!

Sometimes when I'm standing around the kitchen stirring pots and moving from task to task, I fantasize about being on a unicycle

It's nice to see all the kids out playing in the neighborhood, a thing I have loved about both townhouse communities I have lived in is how we all kinda share a yard and we aren't dicks about it

our lady of perpetual sad sacks of potatoes

Oak Tree Books and Scott Dingman were a big part of my childhood, wild to read what happened with the store and Scott after we sold our bookstore in the mid-90s and fell out of touch. I got most of my childhood Nancy Drew books here.

You really don't have to read very much news at all to feel absolutely devastated all the time

Escaping for a little bit into a Sims 4 Legacy. I've never really done one (I was big into the Sims Livejournal scene, in the Sims 2 and Sims 3 days) and I'm rusty as heck but it has been nice to spend a couple of hours playing with my dolls a few times a week.

Most of the good stuff lately has been food.

Past couple of months, existing

Being scared and sad all the time is really wearing me down

I'm tired

Today in an attempt to have control over anything at all, I went to moisturize my face, and my lotion wasn't there. Because it was still packed from our Oklahoma trip. Because I haven't moisturized my face since November.

Not posting on Instagram anymore but I have been posting f&f only on Flickr again flickr.com/photos/47864..., posting my daily happy photos and other positive photo stuff here: @homemade-happiness.bsky.social, Tumblr a bit rachelakelso.tumblr.com?source=share, and my website/blog: rachelakelso.com

Panicked so much today my Fitbit told me I need to take a break because I'm at risk for overtraining 😂

Womp womp our pipes froze last night 😭

Picture @jennysaisquoi.bsky.social took of me when I was five, I had just been performing Sweet Transvestite in my hand-me-down black cat sweater and frilly-butted underpants

Got all my old phone photos backed up and found this picture I took of a childhood guided journal. This is fine.

Max Comer's rise to viral fame as ‘airplanefactswithmax’ didn't come easily—or even intentionally. @zbreeves.bsky.social went to find out how it happened, & found a story about love, loss, & unexpected journeys. Here's a story about Tulsa's surprise LotR influencer. thepickup.com/the-max-come...

“Holy smoke!”

David Lynch taught me that the things I make can be as weird as I want them to be and I don't have to explain them to anyone which is the most beautiful feeling

If you need me I will be here

Fix Your Heart or Die: The Startling Empathy of David Lynch

Still feeling like I'm only halfway here...

I'm so excited about this winter storm

Just thought you should know. Norse and Danish mead-horns sometimes had feet.

I didn't send Xmas cards this year because depression but I need you all to know I love you and wish you holiday cheer!!!

Not sure if I'm just extremely burnt out or I have a cold or I'm bored or I'm hungry

Hungry and stuck in traffic looking up the menus of all the restaurants we are passing
