I created a photography website that is mostly #birds 🪶 but also squirrels, flowers, marine mammals and a super cute dog (will add a pic of my other dog soon so he doesn’t feel left out): crystaltomusiak.smugmug.com

Just a reminder: you are NOT unusual, weird, or unlovable if you have:

- no one to see on Christmas Day,
- no presents, or
- no contactable relatives.

Very few people live the idealised version on TV. Those of us who live differently—whether by choice or trauma—matter as much.

Possibly too many dog photos but it’s impossible to choose

Sketchbook page for today. Merry merry!
Ink and watercolor image of two tall decrepit buildings topped with antennas and satellite dishes. A large blank sign looms in front off to the left. And a string of crooked fence posts connected with barbed wire lead over the hill. The sky is yellow, with faint spidery connected lines spiraling up to the left.

B&w photo of a row of pelicans sitting on a wooden wall over the water. The front two birds are sleeping curled up with the beaks under their wings. The third pelican is sitting up with its beak pointing straight down. The fourth is sitting up with its beak pointing straight up and its head is tilted back with its mouth open.

Social media has receded far into the background of my life and I’m quite ok with that (though I very much value the people I’ve met in such spaces)

Our beloved Alice Wong has joined the ancestors. It was one of the great honors of my life to call Alice my friend, co-author & co-conspirator. She was a true genius, a force of nature the likes of which the world has never seen before. I love you, Alice, and am equal parts grateful and devastated

“Don’t let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.”
Black text on a yellow background - This is Alice's friend Sandy Ho, posting. Per Alice's wishes, this message is being shared at the time of her passing. Hi everyone, it looks like I ran out of time. I have so many dreams that I wanted to fulfill and plans to create new stories for you. There are a few in progress that might come to fruition in a few years if things work out. I did not ever imagine I would live to this age and end up a writer, editor, activist, and more. As a kid riddled with insecurity and internalized ableism, I could not see a path forward. It was thanks to friendships and some great teachers who believed in me that I was able to fight my way out of miserable situations into a place where I finally felt comfortable in my skin. We need more stories about us and our culture. You all, we all, deserve the everything and more in such a hostile, ableist environment. Our wisdom is incisive and unflinching. I'm honored to be your ancestor and believe disabled oracles like us will light the way to the future. Don't let the bastards grind you down. I love you all.

Foreground, middle ground, background. Dark darks, light lights. Working on this stuff.
