Joy is an act of resistance. Love will light the way. Let's go!
Axel, like Autumn before him, is a high flying frisbee dog. It’s not good for his young, developing joints, so I don’t throw to allow for jumps often, but you gotta indulge him a lil every once in a while. 🚀

Morning play time!

We recently connected with the family of one of Axel’s litter mates that had a DNA test done and found out he’s 72% border collie 19% Australian kelpie and 9% Australian cattle dog/German shepherd! (So a purebred Handful.)

Today while the leader of our nation threatened WWIII on a nation being battered by the axis of evil (a side our nation’s gov’t is now on) I glazed these 15 pieces of pottery I made. 10 others in the works! What a world. 🥵🥳

Dealing with them LUXURY BONES todaaaay.

My pottery class is almost over and I'm pushing myself to make as much as I can. It is so soothing to go to the studio, put on my headphones and just create. Today I threw this 4.5 lb beast, my biggest yet. Like 60% or so of my creations, it will be home to a plant. I can't wait to see it finished!

I’ve never had a puppy. Autumn was 6 months old and in my 13-years-ago memory it was all almost effortless. Figuring out what this guy needs and attending to him is a 24/7 job. Today we walked in the woods. He terrorized when we got home, but it’s 7:50 and he’s asleep and that’s a miracle.

This little painted rock appeared on my mom’s doorstep. Love is and contributes to resilience. In the face of unbearable aggression share love, and sprinkle microaffections everywhere.

In these dark times it can be good to remember brighter, warmer times. Tell me something you’re proud of!

This is the crew I have managed for Burning Man since 2018, the DPW Shade Crew, just after finishing our last structures of 2024. So proud of the work I have done with these beautiful people!!

A little morning Axel. My little valentine. 💕

I decided to take a 17 credit academic writing heavy term in school. Now there’s a government coup, I have a puppy trying to tear apart my living room, and I’m frantically writing papers on healthcare policy that won’t matter next week.

Here’s Axel’s one week growth spurt, last Tuesday to this.
February 4, 2025 at 7:15 PM
We’ve had Axel for 9 blurry mushed together days; cleaning up accidents, snuggling, learning the rules, completely rearranging the house and yard.

At the same time I’ve been following, watching our government be dismantled. Thinking a lot about how we’re going to move forward.

Love you friends.

Was gonna like this but couldn't.

A little levity among the madness: Our little guy has gone from shy to dictator. His herding instincts are blowing my mind. Autumn is queen mama. We’re all tired and in love, with ears ringing from tiny barks. Can’t wait to start on talk pad training and ground level agility fun!
January 26, 2025 at 6:40 PM
Another dose of adorable. Axel is so intelligent, I can’t even. No training necessary, brings the ball all the way back 100% of the time.

He insists on getting on her bed a lot, and she begrudgingly allows.
January 24, 2025 at 2:58 AM
He is a sweet, gentle boy, a little shy, but opening up quickly. It’s impossible not to immediately love him with your whole heart.

Things with the rescue moved fast and today we brought home a new family member! He was born Nov 11, Armistice day, so we named him Axel, a northern Euro/Scandanavian name meaning Father of Peace.

We couldn’t have asked for a better first day with him. Autumn says “acceptable.” It’s been dreamy!

A bigger view of that space I’ve been doing serial photos of.

My first ever short form content video yada buzzword labels etc, I’ll learn. Maybe. I wanna be a beta tester for @skylight.social please and thank you! 😄

Weeeeell that escalated quickly! The rescue called and said they think we can find what we are looking for more easily in a puppy and they have a shy boy who we should consider. It’s not for sure until he’s in our car but, the plan is to pick him up Wednesday! Look at his little heart nose!!!
January 20, 2025 at 1:23 AM
And just in case anyone was getting worried; Autumn is doing great and the reason the search for another pup is/will be slow is because we’re searching for the right fit for Autumn. ❤️

We have been approve for general adoption through the collie rescue and are talking about all the dogs. We’ve already determined 2/3 of these won’t work for our family/them, but we’ll be looking at and talking about lots of dogs as we search for our new family member. The right babe will find us!
