Some photos carry more than just a moment—they hold a shift.
Gold like memory, light catching something older than I could name. Thank you to @brujabettypinup.bsky.social for holding such a soft, creative space.
For someone who can pull beauty through the veil and still keep it grounded reach out.

How can we, as individuals, donate directly and effectively to the Ukrainian war effort? I’m skeptical of, and want to avoid organizations that skim most of the funds as administrative costs.

Local veterinarians are warning pet owners to take extra precautions as a particularly contagious strain of bird flu spreads across the country.
Cats in particular are at risk of contracting the virus, according to veterinarians at Mount Laurel Animal Hospital in New Jersey.

When his humans are out for the evening, this old man decides I’m an acceptable substitute.
One good thing about coming home for the holidays: stealing love from my family’s cats.
I miss having my own.

Saw someone upbraiding someone else for having a hobby while the world is on fire, and, my friends:
1. The world is ever on fire, this is today's conflagration;
2. If you don't find time for rest and joy the fire will consume you;
3. Don't let people shame you for being an entire human.

Sunday morning read.
After self-imposed isolation and a media cleanse in 2024 (life circumstances), I’m easing back into the news—it’s overwhelming at times.
Any tips or ‘shifters’ for emotional regulation you swear by? Would love to hear them!

Turns out tulips are a bit dramatic—but a simple reminder that sometimes, all we really need is a little water.

The hallmark of an open mind is refusing to let your ideas become your identity.
If you define yourself by your opinions, questioning them is a threat to your integrity.
If you see yourself as a curious person or a lifelong learner, changing your mind is a moment of growth.

Seeing so many #southwest photos today. It’s making me homesick for Las Vegas.
Here’s a throwback to the #coralpinksanddunes in #Utah… still one of my favorite side-quests so far.

Still trying to adjust to the freezing air here in #Ohio - 0/10, do not recommend. ❄️
On the bright side, staying indoors means more time to chip away at my reading list. #booksky #slowmornings

Empathy is the bridge between mere existence and true humanity, reminding us that to feel another’s pain is to affirm the shared connection that makes life meaningful.

It’s hard to grasp what it was all for,
Repeating lessons, learning nothing more,
Part of a history that feels off course.
No matter the outcome, no matter the score,
The wind calls, pushing us from the shore.
Tally your cost, embrace the unsure.

Not me being overly enthusiastic about the refresh button then seeing a post about “Sailing” by Christopher Cross just in time for the feed to refresh… then spending an inordinate amount of time trying to find it again because I NEED to know what was said… #blueskylearningcurve

Often between deadlines & destinations, I pull off the road - just a small stop, unplanned and unimpressive. Gas stations. Roadside oddities. And here, a stretch of grass with a sky that felt bigger than it had any right to. A moment where the pain of loss shrank under the weight of something vast.
