Nothing is actually known about my origins. It's assumed I'm American, born to American parents but "accusations" of being Slavic have followed my whole life.
Even if you didn't know Serbian energy drink was out of frame, I'm afraid my lunch today isn't helping my case 😅

"High sustainability" garments are meant to last at least 35 washings vs a normal garment's 5 washings.

New clothes you buy in ANY shop, not just "fast fashion", were purposely designed to last only 5 washings.

F I V E

Now I understand why I need new underwear every month. 😡

Mark Twain had many words for the type of times we’re living in. He called them “super fucked up” and “a real shit show”

@esa.int should sponsor me (specifically as a disabled aerospace engineer without a lab) for F1 Academy - not only is it a historical legacy to use racetracks as a testbed for aviation innovation, it would be the most economical and ethical way gather biomedical data on my designs.

I wish I didn't know I had Ehlers-Danlos and still believed it all was just something I could personal trainer appointment myself out of, because F1 Academy was made for me 😭

Sanrio sponsors it and everything 😭😭😭 I could take the pole in a Keroppi car 😭😭😭

‘Do you think we ever met in a past life?’ You ask, smiling like you enjoy the notion.
I think I’ve loved you in every single one. This feeling feels ancient, rooted into my soul. But what I say is: ‘I don’t know. But I’ll find you in the next one so I can annoy you some more.’

Die heilige #Elisabeth von #Thüringen, deren Gedenktag heute gefeiert wird, ist eine meiner Lieblingsheiligen.

Zum einen wurde ich ungefähr 200 Meter neben ihrer Grabeskirche geboren wurde, zum anderen wurde sie das Opfer massiven spirituellen Missbrauchs.

People being sloppy with PPE in Italy is the flapping butterfly wings that led to my brain turning into mush so AAAAAAAAAA????
In case you are wondering if it’s a good idea to wear a #respie and use proper PPE when caring for undifferentiated patients in the emergency department….

You think some staff might lose some sleep tonight in Italy? #MedSky #Marburg

Usually only 2 crows live on my block.

A group of 9 just streaked past my window surrounding a hawk and are now gathered up in the tree in case the hawk comes back.

This post is about antifa.

Trump essentially said loyalty to the Constitution is punishable by death. Those are dangerous words coming from the President of the United States, but I’m not going to be intimidated.

I had planned to kill myself before any snow fell and never bought boots for the year. I genuinely do not have proper footwear to go outside before they have shoveled. I don't even have a bag of bags under my sink anymore to stick something in my shoes.

Exile will do that... 😓
Tamara De Lempicka, portrait "Young Dutch Girl," 1941
The portrait was created after Tamara had left Europe. However, it still reflects the artist's chic and elegant style, which began to fade during her exile in the United States.

I used to get shit in class for wearing a painter's robe but I'm a messy bitch who likes their clothes. I also would wear sleeves at the printing press. I feel like it's a symbol of the breakdown in artistic tradition when BFA professors shame students for traditional practices.
