i made a spore print of an amanita mushroom! zoom in to see gills

california is a land of eternal spring

how i be after a joint and 3 hours in nature

legally married as of today :)

precious family members traveling today to my home base 🥰 i’ve been too overwhelmed to plan much but i know we’re having a cozy movie night, nature & legal marriage excursion, and a big tasty dinner on thursday 💛

moved almost to tears seeing a milk-like fluid seep out of a purple sweet potato

ur early twenties are for unbridled techno-optimism

da vibe after i successfully completed a phd milestone

possibly gonna get legally married in pinnacles NP next week 🧡

who’s tryna be homies (we like each other’s posts, we ask each other thoughtful questions or otherwise engage in a way that adds something to each of our lives)

fun lil lichen (caldonia probably) i found on a walk today

had a pretty uncomfortable rideshare experience saturday night. it was a 10 min ride from the rave to my bff’s place a few min in he asks where my bf is, and i say - he’s in los angeles (true, & he’s my fiancé) shortly after he asks if i want to come sit in the front seat. i’m like no thank you…

just had a vision of going grocery shopping with my kids having popped an edible beforehand. stoned in da grocery store with the little homies. a veritable wonderland. so much fun to be had

thinkin' about how high fructose corn syrup effs up your metabolism because it doesn't go through glycolysis quite like normal glucose

keeping an eye on my blood glucose via cgm from stelo, not 100% sure if sensor’s properly functioning yet, but very fun to see!

subaru maintenance — the internet says it’s more than the average car. looking at a forester or crosstrek, coming from a prius. can i has a sanity check?

#TIL about Zzyzx, CA

planning a bday roadtrip with plenty of desert time 🏜️🧡

so when was the last time u felt interconnected with the world & life around u , when ur sense of presence was expanded beyond ur body?

wonder if there are any local dj “courses” or “startup” type programs that could help me get more connected

this lil guy was screaming outside my bedroom a few nights ago

full moon in taurus today 🤍 hope all the rockhounds & tidepoolers enjoy the low tide today (-1.4ft near me!)

20 minutes of work, then 20 minutes of jewelry makin'

interact thoughtfully! dare to share your heart or a wisp of what you're feeling be kind and curious cultivate wonder and presence on- and offline 🤍

made a spiritual meme

the "invalid handle" thing is driving me a little crazy , it's so un-aesthetic 😅

i think bsky will rival twitter in my heart when i hit my stride on here & get interesting input on things i care about . that's when twitter feels best for me . not quite there yet here (also depends on how engaged my network is) , but may be possible!

i’ve got some writing on death i’m tempted to share

visiting a vineyard in sonoma feb 2023

degraders (🍄) doing their job

i joined ingroup/tpot in 2020-2021, but now prefer to think of myself as adjacent

met a cool girl last weekend who studies carnivorous plants in california bogs :) she takes samples and analyzes nitrogen content. looks at use of nitrogen by native vs non-native plants — to see if the non-natives are invasive and messing up the ecosystem! 🌿 pics from a mendocino, ca bog

going through yet another mid-phd minor existential crisis. this time: yearning for environmental/fieldwork based work over my phd work (human health molecular bio)

tell me about a recent road trip you went on 🚗 !

emailed a prof to ask if i can take a field geology course next spring 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽

i can only hope that someone will click the like button on One of my past Five posts

i got into rockhounding (hunting for cool rocks outside) earlier this year. it’s been great - intellectually stimulating , gets me outdoors , uses the aesthetics-appreciating part of my brain. the other thing is learning about rocks and geology teaches u abt the crazy long timescales rocks form on

scream and shout // when u let it all out

where my fellow stoners at 💚

happy wednesday how’s it going? it’s gloomy here in the bay, thick sky of clouds, and i’m trying to show love to my feelings of overwhelm so i can move through them

scenes from mendocino last weekend

good morning from me and mori

jar of agates i collected on an sf peninsula beach

i’m in a phase with spiritual practice / spiritual study where i’ve lost a great deal of interest. i think it’s related to my mom’s passing, as she was (is) a significant spiritual pillar in my life
