Today's fragrance is Corail Oscuro by Diptyque.

I went to an amazing swap and sale at La Parfumerie here in NC, and got the 5 dabbler set of this new line.

OMG. This rose is salty and mineral and took me by surprise. I thought Bois Corsee was going to be my jam, but nope. Keep coming back.

I've had some time to think about the GDT Frankenstein, in hopes that 24 hours might somewhat cool my brain but

When I say she’s a snuggler, this is what I mean. She is presently between me and the arm of my chair. If you could hear this picture it would be purring.

Remember that story in the Bible where the immigrant family had ICE called on them when they went to find shelter?

Oh wait.

Truer words, etc.
This is why you have to love the work. When publishing and fortune kick you in the face, the page will still be there for you. When all you get are nos, the story will be your yes. You can't count on sales or marketing money, but you can count on the feeling of flow, of creation, the joy of art.

I am taking Salem to the vet and she is displeased.

Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.

Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

Oh Hai 👋🏿

If I can keep these gig contracts steady, the last 15% of this campaign (that I started in October 2022) will go to the bigger ticket items that I still need like neonate appropriate pulse oximeters, for ex., and my licensure exam fees.

This is what I came for.

The Daily Salem Dispatch is perched on my chair and watching my mouse cursor with vested interest.

She’s losing her kitten belly! And she looks so grown up here. You can see her sun spots so well though.

When Edith Head designed this sequinned marvel for Ginger Rogers in 1944, it was the most costly film costume ever made. Worn in the film Lady in the Dark it is a lovely aperitif to my Hollywood Costume lecture with Falmouth Uni Costume Design 2nd years tomorrow #V&A #FashionHistory 🗃️🪡

‼️Important Breaking Mews: Salem has finally deemed her milk carton house suitable for habitation.‼️

The Daily Salem Dispatch won’t leave my lap this morning. Also isn’t a fan of me not petting her constantly…
November 19, 2025 at 4:11 PM
I am so freakin inspired.
The difference between me and most people is that I will absolutely follow through with my most unhinged ideas.
November 19, 2025 at 2:12 PM
Salem just groomed my head.
November 19, 2025 at 2:25 AM
Anyway, here’s where Salem and I are at. Pretty sure she is maintaining my shred of hope and sanity.
