Resist. Indulge in joy. Rest.

Saw someone say, “Stop hoarding books, we don’t need paper books anyway” and I can’t express how misguided this is. Online libraries disappear, digital books can be altered, and with Big Tech seeking to destroy history and literacy, print media has never been more essential.

Almost lost my mind but i finally finished my fabric study 😪

Maybe when people online say ‘go touch grass,’ what they really mean is: go read Tolkien and wander the green hills of the Shire or the hidden valley of Rivendell.

It is raining gently in war-torn Portland. I have returned home from mailing Etsy sales and using a nearly expired BOGO free chicken coupon. Crows are strutting about looking for worms. Parents at the park are standing with umbrellas watching their kids play soccer. Truly we live in a hellscape.

being a cat person is so crazy bc you live with someone who is undeniably annoying and you're always thinking "maybe i should get another cat"

How do our bodies react to art? A short animation guides us through using paintings, sculptures, and more to get in touch with our emotions. www.thisiscolossal.com/2025/09/an-a...

Please keep me in your thoughts during this difficult time (a Wednesday in 2025)

It sure would be nice to live in precedented times for a change.

Looking at you, Charleston 😒

Never give up on your dream that one day, you will finally have a bookshelf with a rolling ladder.

If only every day could be spent messing around in the garden while listening to hours and hours of Escape Artists podcasts. Just shoveling dirt and having emotions. That's the life.

If you need an escape from everything, People is recommending some lovely Dark Academia books for fall, and I'm so happy to see I Have Some Questions for You on the list! 🏫 🔦 🍎 🔪 🚸 🧛 🎓 ☠️ ✏️ 🐍 🎓 🪦 people.com/10-dark-acad...

The time I waste repeating this to myself 😂 I haven't caved yet though!

Portland, Oregon is beautiful.

Peaceful Portland.

Want a cuppa? #Midjourney

you are never confined to who you once were. life is constant renewal. each season is an invitation to rebuild, reshape, and reintroduce yourself. you are not bound to the old story. you are the author of the new one and it is never too late to turn the page.

Portland’s Antifa headquarters.

Things I care about: - people feeling safe and supported in their growth and expression - weird books getting resources - weird books - curiosity - self determination - people's inner narratives and their outer forms - connection to the land - watching people be happy

No, sorry, I can't today. I have to stay at home with my agonies.

it’s Sunday on bluesky so I am urging everyone to take care of themselves. Take a walk, have a second cup of coffee or tea, read a book, spend some time looking at small poems

I am like an onion: complex and multilayered, and then once you peel those layers back you get to the very worst part of that onion

Never give up. If you ever wish to be known for your cabinet of medical curiosities, or as a notorious bootlegger of cheap circus whiskey, I know you can do it. I believe in you.

Getting an early jump on the holidays by already gaining five pounds I’ll never lose again and being exhausted and arguing with my family

In the hills again, walk at Corran with @welshnaturelady.bsky.social, first roaring stags of the holiday.

Today’s advice from your Goth Auntie: -Stand up and move around for a few minutes. Drink some water, take your meds. -People who are rude about your personal identity aren’t worth your time. -The demon you accidentally summoned wants to be pen pals. Is it a good idea? No idea. ❤️Auntie Jilli

I sketched Saturn devouring his son and wrote a poem about the way it reminded me of the self-serving gluttony of lies. Healing from trauma is weird 😂
