🙋‍♀️ : Giant Echidna. They burrow underground to survive wildfires, they have spines to deter predators, and they can roll into a ball. Imagine a kaiju echidna rolling around trying to play bowl-a-Dino.
An echidna walks along the dusty ground. A threatened echidna rolled up in a spiky ball.

A poem for 2025:
Hope Like Glass At five years old, my mother led me through a labyrinth of crystal figurines. Each handmade piece stood tall, nothing askew; my fingers ached to bring them down to me. "Don't touch," she said (she knew her daughter well), "They're breakable; we can't afford to pay." Though true, their power shone when sunlight fell upon the glass: their brilliance on display. To hold hope well, you must use tranquil hands or it will shatter in your fingertips. The lightest touch fragility demands, though gentleness does not its strength eclipse. With tender hands and just as tender hearts, We cling to hope and the strength that it imparts.

I've been gone for months, but this is why--I had a very heavy course load for the last term. But it's done, and it was totally worth it!
Me and my Creative Writing degree!

There’s an occasionally cool breeze now; fall is almost here, finally.

It’s been a helluva week, but I got my first pumpkin spice of the season so it’s okay.

I also accidentally got ahead in my school work so maybe next week will be easier. 🤞

You'll laugh when you find out because it's nothing special, lol. It's the Inkjoy gel pens from PaperMate.

Big advocate of food names, myself. My kitty is Taco, and we call the neighborhood cat Burrito and the possum who visits my backyard Chalupa. Your boy looks like a Cookie or Cake to me! (Taco, below, for reference). 😁

I need someone to check me to make sure I'm not wrong about this, but the word "biopic" specifically refers to a film, correct? Because whoever wrote the curriculum for my American Lit class keeps using it to refer to novels and short stories. >.<

Oh my gosh, your tuxedo cat looks so much like mine that at first glance, I thought my own posts had come back to me. Please tell Timmy and Fishy that I said they're lovely. 😍
