Mags helped me put up wallpaper and I'm so happy with how it looks with the rose gold trim. It's amazing what a little paint and wall paper can do to a space.

I seem to have misplaced my hope and optimism. I hope I am able to find it soon.

My yurt is under attack. If I can't get a seismic hazard evaluation and a bunch of other impossible and expensive bureaucratic things in order to get a permit by April 21st, I am expected to tear it down. Let me know if you know any local geotechnical engineers.

Last night I had my first figure drawing session in the yurt and it was magnificent. So much of my life has been pursuit of horizon goals that extend forever until this moment. Suddenly, I'm at the sunset. I suddenly have time for art. This feels like an internal revolution.

Today I'm having a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day. Normally I can maintain my cheeriness but it's a struggle right now. Tell me things that are making you feel hopeful or inspired.

These are dark times. I've been trying to figure out a way to help. I want my yurt to be a sanctuary for people who are in despair right now. I want it to be a way for my queer and trans community to be able to access free ways to dance, create art, and find support.

As I look for wall paper, I find gems like this..

I'm struggling with how to replace all of the functionality I used Facebook for. Bluesky seems like a reasonable way to keep up on sound bites from friends, but I find the character limit incredibly limiting. My favorite part of Facebook was reading poems created by people I loved..

Friends who are leaving Facebook: What is the best way to invite you to parties? Do you want Google events and emails? Is discord the way?

Until I figure out a good means, I'll probably lean toward emails. If you want to be on my invite list for things consider sending me a PM with your email.

We are remodeling our kitchen! What do you all think of this color combination?

Few things signal more to me that I belong with a partner than us spending all morning arguing about which of us is Bacchus and which Dionysus.

New Year's resolution bingo!

Now that the holidays are over I'm going to be hosting more things in my yurt in South Everett. If you are interested in participating in dance classes, figure drawing sessions, or a women's circle or all gender support group let me know and I'll invite you to things
