Accidentally matched my project to tonight's family movie selection.

Guess what we watched 😂

Year 3 of Roundtop folk festival is in the books! I'm so happy that this 7ft snowflake could spread out, get some love, and inspire my community to get creative.

Really proud of my city today after seeing such a massive demonstration of solidarity.

My family and I made crochet crowns to mark the moment, sharing more than 20 in the hour we were present. It was an honor and a privilege to carry on the tradition of subversive stitching!

It's finals week for the most difficult term of my Master's program (so far), which means prepping my study space for virtual proctored exams.

Time to say goodbye to this board doodle from the kid 😢

Today, during a hike, my friend and I were talking about Fire Pink, an endangered native plant.

Five minutes later, we stumbled across a healthy population on the trail.

Closed two (very different) exhibitions tonight. I'm exhausted but thankful to be part of a community that celebrates creative expression in all of its forms.

I stopped in at the Legacy Institute in Montgomery over the weekend. It's a powerful place - visit if you can.

This is showing number four of my contribution to Embodied: Contemporary Takes on the Dress. See it at Johnson Center for the Arts in Troy, AL through May 2025.

I love how she changes a little bit each time. What a babe 💃

I wrapped a scone from breakfast in a napkin to take with me today.

Is this a sign of menopause?

I'm editing my Fulbright application during this unending layover.

Will there even be a Fulbright this year? Who knows, but it's a valuable exercise all the same.

10/10, highly recommend.

Top cane is for formal occasions, bottom is my daily driver, but the middle is my favorite.

It unscrews from the base, so whoever you have beef with needs to patiently wait for their stabbing.
