Queer mom, former midwife, former vaccine policy editor, now I work in sexual and repro health, low key make art, garden and share factual science. I’m ok wearing a mask forever and getting boosters if it keeps my family healthy.
I did not drive up this ramp.
I did not relocate this rotten milk bag to behind the tires of a parked car.
I did not pick this lone daffodil.
I AM SO GOOD!

I was going to go to bed early at 10:40 but then I noticed that the grapes from my Odd Bunch (veggie box service) likely would be too shabby to eat by morning.
So I made 3 cups of small batch casual jam.
No recipe, yes sugar, yes microwave, yes pectin.

Still trying to figure out how this app might fit into my life. In the meantime, don’t you think this ceiling sensor thing looks like a sleepy eyed gnome?

I finished some art last night.
I bought the embroidered patch from Luck and Lavender (a local queer artist) and wasn’t sure what to do with it, and a year or so later I had a strip pieced scrap of quilted fabric that exactly matched it.

Whenever I send a request to IT, I am in the habit of attaching a photo of my cat in the section where they allow you to upload a screenshot of your issue.
Just because everyone deserves the chance to see a cat during work hours. Just because.

I just made poutine in the air fryer using canned baked beans instead of gravy (to add protein and reduce gluten) and it is an absolutely winning combination.
I nearly ate it all before it occurred to me to document my genius.

Also, here is a photo of my child’s teddy bear having a bubble bath after some dusty outdoor play. This photo melts my heart.

Not my pet, but I saved this photo recently for my tender hearted teen to appreciate. I hope you feel some sunshine soon.

I look a lovely portrait photo of my kitty sitting behind the sewing machine this morning. Afterward I noticed the sticky note with the hilarious mending instructions on it from one of the teens. It makes it an even better portrait of the reality of the chaos over here.

Different social media platform, same hijinks. I'm making #CorsiRosenthallBox desktop #AirFilters for reducing the risk of eating lunch in class. I don't expect it to solve all issues8p, but it should reduce the amount of particles immediately near the fan.
