This time of year is always roughest on me mentally, and it makes me want to return to my archives of photos taken during my childhood/teenhood/young adulthood in Upstate New York. Here are some.

Even less palatable really: not a musical with a score and catchy melodies, but a slow-paced fantasy film where characters occasionally do the kind of slightly toneless group folk singing characteristic of old English rural culture lol

My dog disemboweled one of his toys and we had to stack the fluff up like a pile of cloud trophies while we watched tv

something I keep running into lately is 100% of the art pieces I'm interesting in making being textile based which is an issue given that I do not know how to use a sewing machine

making a nice dinner for my butch feels like this

the mailman is probably so sick of me for how I'm always trying to get the mail way too early because there might be perfume samples in there LOL

editing my raw wedding photos is really bringing home the glee re: how planning the shit out of this and making a gazillion moodboards and being really pedantic about stuff paid off. look at this moodboard to wedding day execution. I'm allowed to flex idgaf!!!!

Isa just told me to come into the living room because the cat was doing “white pillow stuff” and by god she was

“Mount her? I hardly know her! 😂” —my impression of my fuck ass computer refusing to mount my fuck ass external hard drives

it’s been like a decade and i’m so tired but at least i stopped being trolled

Half of my IG friends list is at Exsence it seems and I know it's gonna be even more fomo during Scent Week LA..... in 2026 I am scampering to at least one perfume event I can't live like this !!!

hello Bluesky. here are pictures of baby Fievel the little white dog my silly little animal. he is 6 years old and has two mommies. some things he is afraid of include: sounds, objects, people, animals, places, things, concepts, and smells

waiter...bring me the bobby hill meditating jpg

we all hung out in a coffee shop called poopies up on the strip

New little guy, part 1 of a bigger piece but I love it on its own goddamn

I am NOT allowed to write about perfume today until I finish the backlog of work I have. My Reward.

i was hot on both occasions but it's so crazy to me that between now and 2022 when we moved here i lost like...45 pounds. that doesn't feel real and i only realized it because of medical records/my CA driver's license lol. san francisco was fun for me but it was not healthy for me! the stress!!

i know everyone thinks their dog is like a little adorable baby but ours...ours really is.

this is literally me today editing photos & catching up on work LOL
