1 year since the loss of lovely Amber today. I figured a somewhat messy, creative endeavour referencing one of her photographs felt appropriate. Hug your loved ones, be kind to yourselves, embrace your creativity - especially the imperfect kind💛

Remembering her, 1 year later.

Miss her so much. #uglydogs

Amber sits on green grass, leaning back on her hands with legs stretched out. She wears glasses, a white T-shirt with the word “geek” printed on it, denim shorts, and black sneakers, looking off to the side with a relaxed expression.

Here's a snoozy little Zo Zo (from the other night, I only WISH I was bed rotting right now) to lift your afternoon spirits.

My fluffy long haired dilute tortoiseshell cat Zoë with mottled gray, tan, and cream fur sleeps curled up on my bed, eyes closed and tail wrapped around her body, resting on white and gray blankets.

Hi all,

I absolutely hate asking for help, but here we are.

(Being unemployed for 4 months with little notice didn't help either. Luckily, I've regained employment in the new year, but I'm still trying to regain my footing.)

Any help is greatly appreciated. 🐾💙

A gentle reminder this week.

🎄🕎♥️🐾

Holiday-themed mental health infographic titled “The Holly Jolly Mental Health Survival Guide” by @mental.health.with.emma. On a light blue background with string lights at the top, nine illustrated reminders are shown: take prescribed medication; you don’t owe anyone access to you—boundaries matter; you’re allowed to leave early; alcohol isn’t mandatory or explaining why; if overwhelmed, stick to basics—shower, eat, sleep; plan recovery time after social events; step away to a quiet room if it’s too much; eating is always allowed even when it feels hard; and feeling lonely doesn’t mean you always will.

What an absolutely horrific couple of days.

Please remember to take care of yourself and your loved ones. ♥️🐾

It's probably the holidays, making it hurt more that she's not here to giggle with. It's all been a bit much lately.

If anyone wants to share their favorite memory or interaction with her, I'd love to hear about it. ♥️🐾

A dear friend unexpectedly gifted me the new Reverie collection/collab from MOB Beauty x Courtney Quarantine.

Thank you to my wonderful compadre. She knew I wasn't feeling like myself these days, & this definitely brings a little "spark" back. 🫶🏼❤️🐾

Saturdays are for charcuterie. 🍖

A rectangular white platter filled with charcuterie items, including stacked slices of cheese on the left, green olives, folded slices of prosciutto in the center, small rounds of salami on both sides, larger peppered salami slices at the bottom, and a few red mini tomatoes on the right. A folded paper napkin sits beside the platter.

Buckle up. It's a long (but necessary) one.

Came across this post on LinkedIn, but I do ask you to take a moment and read it through so you can grasp exactly what unemployed people are going through in 2025.

It's tough out here. It's demoralizing. It's humiliating. And it's exhausting.

Wait, can we upload our own gifs now?? I guess that shows how infrequently I've been on Bluesky as of late.

Oh, it's all over for all of you* (*anyone who doesn't know) how unhinged I can get. 😅
