Remembering when Halloween decorations were made by hand, not Amazon. 👻
This little ghost pumpkin I sculpted 25 years ago still comes out every October—tea light flicker and all. #nostalgia #halloweenvibes

Even when the world feels heavy with hate, small acts of kindness still matter. A kind word, a listening ear, a patient heart—they ripple farther than we can see.

Two days remain to comment on the US FWS and NMFS rule change that undermines the Endangered Species Act (ESA). This proposal rescinds the definition of “harm,” limiting protections to actions that directly injure or kill listed species, leaving their habitats vulnerable. Please submit comments! 🧪
Rescinding the Definition of “Harm” Under the Endangered Species Act

The government is trying to quietly dismantle the ESA by removing the definition of “harm”—basically saying it’s OK to wipe out habitats and pretend we didn’t know better.

Met a fellow birder on my trail walk today—turns out she plays Wingspan, too!
There we were, two grown adults geeking out over life lists on my Merlin app like giddy teenagers.
Nature heals. Birds connect. And board games? Apparently, they bond us in the wild, too! #boardgames

How do you ever really get to know someone who never shares a thought of their own?
Reposts can be a window—but original words are the soul.
I’m here for the messy, honest, awkward stuff too. Say something real.

Trainer Valerie and Trainer Lori entered the arena tonight…
Pokéballs were thrown.
Evolutions were swift.
Soju was critical.
Victory?
Still under review by the League Officials (aka… us).

Playing River Valley Glassworks. We were supposed to be artisans of fine glass…
Instead, we’re drunk river goblins hoarding shiny rocks.

Napoleon once fled from an army of rabbits.
In 1807, he planned a hunt—but the rabbits were tame. Instead of running, they swarmed him.
He had to retreat.

The man conquered Europe but was defeated by fluff. #historyfact

I’m returning to something I loved long ago: making leaf spirits—tiny guardians of green spaces, drawn on cured polymer clay with pigment and pencil.
In a world full of noise, maybe this is how I find quiet again.
Maybe you will too.

The world’s been chaotic lately, and I’ve found it hard to string a clear thought together.
So for now, here’s a fox I’ve embroidered just for me-a quiet moment of peace in the midst of the chaos.
I’d love to see what you’ve made recently. Post your #art here!

Playing Kodama feels like it was made for me—growing a whimsical tree, nurturing tiny spirits, and making sure my branches flow just right? Perfection. If only real trees sprouted this fast… but I’ll settle for winning. Love these whimsical nature feel games. #TreeLover #BoardGames #Kodama

Lately, I’ve been spending my time sketching and playing Palia to recharge. It’s a strange time, and staying grounded can feel like an uphill battle. Art and gaming are my go-to escapes, but I’m curious—how do you stay balanced when the world feels off? #PaliaCommunity #Palia
