Husband and I are in a truce. We were able to have a fairly decent conversation a couple nights ago. I was brutally honest about some things and he really struggled with that for a while, but then came and asked me to help him understand it better. He apologized but also avoided

My native plant origin story: 2021: Let me just add this strip of "wildflowers" to our giant side yard. 2022: What if we stopped mowing that side yard altogether? And I just heard about native plants, so I tossed some seeds onto the berm. We'll see what happens.

I love Barbara Ana cross stitch patterns but they never call out to me to be stitched - I only like looking at them. She just came out with a new one though and I had to snatch it up.

i know I've already posted a #selfPromo post for today, but for some reason I have an overwhelming urge to point out this #ACAB #CrossStitch pattern that I have available in my ko-fi shop, is on sale for half off with the code "ACAB" ko-fi.com/s/d7592f4e8a

This weekend has been mentally difficult. I've done pretty well at resting but it's scary to rest when you have energy for the first time in years. It feels like, if I stop moving, it will come back full force.

Fidget pendant update! Last batch for a while, my hands need a break. Ready to ship: citrine, golden obsidian, rose quartz, tiger's eye, snowflake obsidian, two tone lapis lazuli, carnelian. oishiny.etsy.com/listing/1604... #Handmade #ShopIndie #DisabledArtist

Vivi just parkoured over a bunch of plants and smashed my favorite blue and white pottery planter. RUDE.

Today started out with a bang. 6 hours of sleep followed by an hour of gut pain followed by a ragey meltdown from Miss 12 because she can't find some art she drew literally months ago that she took zero pains to put away safely and of course that's my fault.

⏸️ BOOK PAUSED: Would you like to continue? #crossstitch the perfect pause screen for your book with this new bookmark pattern, now available: echoandmine.etsy.com/listing/1900... #stitchsky

It would be nice to just have baseline agreement on the left that retard and retarded are ableist slurs that shouldn’t be aimed at political opponents.

Last night I dreamed I worked at a medical clinic and that babies were born from chicken like eggs. I was assigned 6 eggs to assist with hatching. It should've taken hours but one burst open immediately and a regular sized newborn emerged. The baby had two heads but the second head was a growth,

Miss 12's new favorite band is Rabbitology and let's just say her musical tastes are far more developed than mine were at her age.

Around the yard during the golden hour. The peony is a surprise! It was supposed to be a pale coral. This is its first year flowering and I'm happy it's pink. I already have two coral peonies.

What’s really disturbing about Palestinians like Saeed continually having their accounts taken down/marked as spam is: Over the past year or so, I’ve watched Saeed get thinner and thinner, his eyes grow deeper and deeper set, ever more haunted. He’s real, and he needs our help.

Still LA, ICE is gathered again to start another operation after tear gassing civilians for hours at Paramount. A massive ICE presence stands across the street from civilians. This is live right now.

Shiny things, get your shiny things, the faster these go, the quicker I can start stocking up for Halloween and actually do something this year! (I'm pretending my heart won't have exploded by then, go with me here.) oishiny.etsy.com #Handmade #ShopIndie #DisabledArtist

Got my Joe Pye Weed and Obedient Plants (the second batch) planted on the creek bank. Pulled some more thistle and invasive nightshade. That was the extent of my physical exertion today - other than that and putting out new bird feeders, I've been parked in my chair.

Remember a few months ago I had my first flying dream ever and I hated it? It was scary and I kept thinking about how not to fall. Last night I had my first lucid dream and my first dream of euphoric flying. I had started to wake up and I thought, "I don't need to wake up. I can keep dreaming if

What word isn't an onomatopoeia but feels like the thing it is? Miss 12 picked flicker and clump. I picked cake.

Carbuncle is a terrible word.

Finally got my quilted heart sewed to the back of this hoodie. I wish it wasn't so warm out or I'd wear it! #upcycle #quilting #sewing #handsewing #EPP

I just hit the wall. 3 weeks of intense domestic stress. A week of wildfire smoke messing with my MCAS. I've been doing so good with my energy levels the last couple months and I suddenly feel like someone pulled the plug. I will be so angry and sad if I lose it again. This weekend is rest only.

Today's random Taylor Swift song that made me cry: youtu.be/Mxxswu7V1Us?... I wasn't even listening to it. It just appeared in my head and made me cry. Mean.
