I am cosy in bed post-shower, it is 20:45, and I am going to sleep deliciously early. I don't care how ancient this makes me sound, good night and good luck

me in the red car convinced i did something wrong

Today on intake I talked to a tenant and he asked if he could pay for our services in cat photos. Technically we charge nothing but I accepted that payment SO FAST and I regret nothing

all my battles are losing battles, because i am not very good at battling.

This is such a perfect article. Absolutely satisfying. I fucking love journalism. slate.com/culture/2025...

The Luddites were right

Rachel Cohen (the lawyer who quit very publicly for ethical reasons) is working on an email campaign to get executives with law firms who capitulated to Trump removed from boards. You can find it here (it's a drive link) drive.google.com/drive/folder...

Would personally be extremely grateful if anyone joined in on this for the letter specific to The Legal Aid Society

I got this mug for free and thought it would be good to keep in my office, and today I discovered that the heart changes colour when heated! What a delightful little surprise; it brought me such joy this morning when I made my first cup of tea. (Red heart is hot; black is cold again.)

Guys I’m going to say something difficult… fail them

Guest starred on my first podcast, and if you watch it and see the mug I'm holding, please know it was FULL of whiskey

Had a bad dream about my mother, so today is not off to a great start. I wish I could stay home and cuddle with Evie, but I have back to back meetings from 9am to 4pm and plans after work. But I'm not feeling this. I just want to cry.

Sometimes I get words or phrases stuck in my head, instead of music; today, it was παρακαλώ. Made me wistful for being in Greece, which already feels so far away and long ago. I have no reason to use the Greek I've learned anymore. Everything ends.

I gotta say, just as a person who didn't get to make the decision to walk away—you're not weak for not being able to do it, either. Surviving is all you need to do, and it takes strength. Choosing to live, with or without them, is strength.

Cannot stress how much -any- orders would help, incredibly, right now. Phone is about to be off. Never got to get human groceries (but the dogs are ok right now). It’s been very bad times. So much original art to give away w/ orders. I’d be honored if you took me up on any of the specials. <3

happy mother's day to the moon btw

Spent this Mother's Day exploring some unmarked hiking trails and talking to birds and chipmunks

I'm not going to share it because it's not good, but I spent part of the evening colouring a sketch of Evie and it's the first piece in my new sketchbook. She was unimpressed and is sleeping with all four paws pressed to my arm. 💖

Gary Snyder who turned 95 a few days back (born May 8, 1930). “As a poet I hold the most archaic values on earth . . . I try to hold both history and the wilderness in mind, that my poems may approach the true measure of things and stand against the unbalance and ignorance of our times.”

Sending love to everyone for whom this Mother’s Day stuff is impossibly painful for any one of a million reasons. You’re not alone, even if Hallmark and social media are especially cloying today. In fact, you’re part of a pretty massive club, even if it’s a shitty one. 💕❤️‍🩹💕

Man, so far the second year of losing my mom is harder in that no one cares that I'm still grieving, so it feels just as hard but I'm alone this time 🙃

Can't believe this will be my second Mother's Day without my mom. She was everything in the world to me and she's just gone. I just don't have a mom anymore.

polly pocket, pocket calculator, game boy pocket, pocket money, hot pocket. these are all things you know about if you lived through the golden age of having pockets.

Feeling vengeful towards elites? This sheet-pan brioche will make you feel like you’re in 1780s France.

Don't waste a moment of your life with someone who makes you feel like you need to make yourself smaller; hide your intelligence, thoughts or opinions; who isn't interested in your life; who doesn't make you laugh; and who makes you cry every day and question how they feel about you.

Please look at this squirrel I befriended in the park while I was trying to finish reading my book
