Escapism for the day, a little late in the day 📸 I took this as a baby photographer for my capstone project in college! Shot on 35mm black & white Kodak T-Max film, this photo now represents that liminal time between graduation and starting my career. Where does this path lead for you?

My husband is going through all the negative YouTube comments under Fox News’ post about the brave and compassionate speech by Rev. Budde. All bots. Don’t be fooled.

Alright besties, let’s take to the sky 🕊️ Photo escapade of the day (from the archives) for 1/22/25 📸 This image was captured at Carkeek Park in Seattle, WA in January, 2009. I was listening to “To The One” by Mediaeval Baebes on the drive to the beach, which made this day positively epic. 💙

I want to share some content for escapism and nervous system regulation in this space. I’m an ethereal nature & landscape photographer trying to fight chaos and destruction with art. So what do we think about me sharing a “photo a day” for us to escape into?

Start your own website. Run your own blog. Use decentralized and open-sourced platforms @ghost.org is a great open-sourced blogging platform and website builder Pixelfed is doing great work for images and runs on the social web Support open social projects so your homes on the web don't fall apart

The mainstream media is already normalizing Donald Trump. I won't, and neither should you. This is why legacy media is dying.

Happy #MLKDay ❤️✨

And so we begin again… #newbeginnings #liminalspace #mentalhealthmatters #darkaesthetics #forestcore #escapeism #darknaturalism

We can also stop bending over backwards to help ungrateful people 🙃 My kindness and support is freely given, but a little reciprocity would keep it going.

I don’t think we should be giving our warmth away for free anymore. My energy is depleted from masking my feelings these past two weeks.

I recently had an initial interview for the type of role I’ve been looking for since April. Wasn’t the right fit, but it inspired me to make some changes to my resume. The search continues 🤞

Last day off before getting back busy work season and busy small business season. I have an entire web shop to restock before Friday 🫨

It’s been so long that I forgot how to do this. I deleted my Twitter account over the summer but have the archives to remember who I was and how positive that spaces used to be. I hope this is a safe space.

I have few words these days. I mourn the loss of 2008-2015 Twitter. I mourn the loss of justice. I mourn the loss of joy. But women all around the world are finding their voices and rising up into their power. Maybe one day I will, too.

What better day to begin my bluuuuue sky era than my birthday? Hello everyone 💙
