I went to therapy on the wrong day and realized it when I ran into my therapist in the bathroom.

I ended a meeting for my second job by saying “Welp, I have to go open a window for my cat to sniff out of now.”
The person I was meeting with laughed and said “I understand”

Hi pals! I’m still here… barely. 😅
If you’re coming to SSK in Nashville on July 19 and are hoping to find something specific in my booth let me know! I make no promises but I’ll do my best.
I recently got a part time job and it’s something I’m SO EXCITED about. (🧵/1)

I dyed up some Mind Your Own for a wholesale order today!
This colorway is inspired by somebody who took time out of what I presume is a busy day to tell me they think I’m gross for donating to abortion funds.

I woke up with the storms and tornado warnings at 12:45 am and never went back to sleep (because of said storms and warnings)
Still did the stretching thing with my cat though! 🙌🏻
Shop update tomorrow, I’m gonna be moving slow today but things will get done.

Postcard was the second best selling color at NYF, and I’m dyeing up your preorders this week!
The general feedback on this color is folks love the splashes of color peeking through the light blue base. I had a lot of fun pulling some pairings for this colorway on Saturday!
