Regenerating health (sewing instead of doing chores because it regulates my nervous system better than literally anything else I have found)

Taking the ancestral fiddle to the violin doctor because it has another crack, pls think inexpensive repair thoughts🤞

Had a bag of tomatillos left and needed the freezer space so it's salsa Verde time

This essay is extraordinary and absolutely reading my mind. "It’s especially hard when I see people I once viewed as allies or sources of representation choosing to change, and the world rushing to celebrate them, essentially erasing what their visibility once meant to people like me."

I'm so glad that I provide everything for two cats that are nowhere to be found when I want to cuddle at night 😤 Even the snuggly one is off on some bullshit

Moved an absolute pissload of dirt by myself this weekend, year #3 💪

"Pay people what they're worth" includes decreasing executive pay.

How does Boston, coffee capital of the US, not have cup holders on the commuter trains

Halfway convinced this is what actually goes on in nondisabled minds when they see us. Just “ahhh! COVID!” Not that they think we have it, necessarily. Just that we represent the whole terrible thing. Doesn’t make what they do okay.

Sometimes i forget Chonk is basically still a big kitten because he's the better socialized of my two dinguses, until he does something like grab my hand with his paws and try to fit the whole thing in his mouth

New neighbor didn't seem interested in a polite welcome to the neighborhood conversation but joke's on him I am out in the yard all the fuckin time and there's no man to talk to

I got a really good grade in being a cat mom today at the vet which is really reassuring after a few days of listening to the boys fight 😭

Listened to a coworker painfully explaining actual plays to a coworker who is a d&d GM and I'm not sure who wanted to walk into the sea more

This though, I started calling friends again a few years ago and being able to chitchat while we do chores or walk home is so healing. Tell them you love them before you hang up too. Can't recommend it enough.

the thing about our girl Carly Rae is that there is simply no one else in modern pop who has so perfectly walked the tightrope of expressing "I need you in a way that is frankly embarrassing", like it's not 50% vulnerability and 50% lust, it's 100% both

Me, doing absolutely nothing: My brain: HOLY ROLLER SITS IN THE GARDEN WE FLED, BLOOD INTO WINE TAKE MY BODY INSTEAD youtu.be/cWE0sSZ9yLc?... Anyway Spiritbox was incredible this weekend I'd like to go back pls

Just did back-to-back pretty much solo late concert nights in the city, a thing me 5 years ago would not have imagined me doing Sometimes I have to remember I can exercise free will and do something I'll enjoy and the world will not burn down around me if I do Well it might but it's not my fault

ART.

Reading a biography on Frances Hodgson Burnett and I think I would have really thrived as that flavor of post Victorian unattached-to-a-man creative/society woman. Gardening by day, parties in the evening, big ol house, lots of "female friends for company" I really think I missed my calling

It Only Tuesday

I miss having local buddies that would go scavenge a Joanns sale at a moment's notice 😭 Finally most likely in the clear from a potential bug exposure and it's a perfect shitty gloomy day to procure fabric I don't need but definitely want while we complain about dumb shit and have a little beverage

I now have one angel cat who knows there is more to house than safe room and one feral idiot who makes fire engine noises as soon as angel cat is visible

Oh yeah, happy hours are auditory processing hell.

I have TWO CATS in my house right now and they're both being remarkably chill

I stopped building puppets for a bit and had to scramble to get this one together for an event this weekend. Forgot how much I missed making these lil guys

growing up, when our parents told us to never ever share personal information online, they did not specify whether that includes detailed military operations

please don’t text me war plans, because I’m actually at capacity right now and I don’t think I can hold appropriate space for you. do you have someone else you could reach out to?

The best thing about living alone is that I can be so bad at this and nobody has to know. What sweet relief from feeling like music has to be a performance all the time. It's sing-along hours and I'm going to be so bad at it but I'm going to have fun

✅ Hydrangea cuttings given rooting hormone and jammed into a pot to hopefully root ✅Bird feeders filled to the brim ✅ Happy lil daffodils sprouting

look at this cute little bastard i planted this weekend. soon he and his 69 siblings will all grow together to form a flowering carpet thatll make the neighbors stop and go ‘hey would ya look at that, that’s nice huh? isnt that nice?’

There’s this muppet on TikTok who transcribes and then scats incredibly difficult jazz solos so well and I could not possibly love a thing more

Sitting here enjoying Chappell Roan's The Giver until I was struck by the dodgeball of prophecy realizing I'm gonna have to explain what a service top is to at least two straight friends once they latch onto it

Dahlias are going in pots to wake up. They won't go into the ground for a while but I've been seeing people doing this rather than starting them later and I have a metric fuck ton of tubers so here we go
