I should be getting an engagement ring in two weeks 😁

I’ve already proposed to my partner, but they wanted to get me an engagement ring so I could wear one too.

I’m going to unblock my parents, who when I came out said no one would want me, right before I post the picture.

Made a pickled peach and balsamic black raspberry cheesecake with some braised kale (with peas, green beans, and sun dried tomatoes) for my love while they were out stage managing at their local community theater.

I love spoiling them. 🥰😘

A network of hyphae grows
The moment’s fruits rise.

Old me: Smoke 🍃 every day to cope, constantly drowning, constantly moving.

New me: Consuming with intention, moving with intention.

Here’s what helped me grow in this area.

Two types of poets: "I write the poem in one draft and never touch it again" vs "I have an elaborate editing process and my poems are never truly done"...

Which one are you?

Honestly I'm more of a contemplate and choose my words carefully kind of guy. I'll sit on a poem and edit over and over, looking up associations of words so that every word carries its full weight and echos other decisions I've made throughout the poem. Idk how to just yap for the algorithm.

Well, some times the beets aren't beeting. I've struggled with root vegetables so far but they're some of my favorites so I'll keep trying.

If you have any tips for growing root vegetables, I'd love to hear them.

Berry season is upon us!

I happened upon a mulberry tree recently adjacent to the site for my gardening apprenticeship and was able to pick enough mulberries to make a fruit salad with some other things I had around the house.

It’s the second day of pride month and
They made an example out of Jonathan Joss,
So the rest of us don’t forget
We’ll always be kindling
We’ll always be a danger to our loved ones in between their crosshairs.
