Trick or Teat! 🎃

Wait- it’s Diana 👑 Josephine Baker or Dolores J Blige

Today’s 55 days of 55 is worth highlighting 🤩 Took myself on a thrift break and found a Cuyama 👜 It’s monogrammed DJB so I am now Dolores J Blige or maybe Dolores Josephine Baker

I had a bunch of old post cards from orientation (circa Y2K) that I put in a bin outside my office - along with a note offering to mail if they slide them under my door. Today’s under-the-door love ❤️ #HigherEd #OfficeHours

This guy is NOT a morning person and is rightfully annoyed

I ran smack into Robert Redford once as I was rushing to class @ubc - he was on campus filming a movie. He was nice about it - and also shorter than I’d imagined RIP

One night I took my girls to the oldest gay bar in the world and it was small and loud and perfect- except smoking is allowed indoors, so we got hotboxed out after an hour or so 🚬

Yall. 😂 My friend has a studio pottery mug that says “abortion is healthcare”. I want one. I searched “abortion is healthcare pottery” - and this is what came up

He’s obsessed

Found a sheepskin for the sheepdog at the thrift

And just to reiterate Halloween is a SEASON not a holiday

I stalked Rip’s previous life on the internets - and I found his baby pictures 🥹 (also learned: there were 4 in his litter, they were huge and delivered via c section, and he was born without a tail.)
