You know that old saying, If you're going through hell, keep going? Well I've been keeping going. Here's a picture of my dog inspecting some beaver handiwork yesterday.

Got lured in at dusk But i know the way home in the dark

What the sea lacks in moss and fungi it makes up with kelp and stones.

A newsletter worth reading.

Remember when I was accidentally off mute in a bias and assumptions workshop and baby talked to my dog and said Oh do you LOVE that bone? You love that bone. #noregrets #dogsofbluesky #bestfriend
