Assistant Professor of English & Journalism @PensacolaState, faculty advisor of The Corsair! Medievalist, romantasy writer, and frustrating human being. Worst case of OCD you've ever seen. NOT a PSC spokesperson. Views my own.
I spent the whole day crying intermittently, afraid that I would go to the vet and hear the worst. And it did. My sweet baby boy is gone, and I miss him. I love him so much.

Stressing over my baby tonight. My poor little Tigger has been very sick for a long time. It's been a constant string of vet visits every couple months. He's better for a while, and then, he's not. Tomorrow, we're back to the vet because he's not eating.

I am in Austin, representing Pensacola State at the NISOD conference! I've been in this city for two days, and I've decided that Austin is the Most Underrated Gothic City. A marvelous place! (And the conference is pretty great, too.)

Throwback to when I had pink and blue ombre hair and went around taking extra witchy photos in this cosplay by the super talented @amazonmandy.bsky.social.

Final count is 9.5" in Pensacola, Florida. It's already melting but sure was beautiful while it was here.

Greetings from frozen Florida! We have about two inches of snow in my yard, and it's coming down FAST. ❄️

My parents bought me pajamas and a bookmark for Christmas. My cats, meanwhile, received a custom-made catio.

I'm beginning to think my parents prefer my cats to me. 🤣

Before succumbing to my present bout of illness, I *did* get to finally see Mari Lwyd at the NOLA Krampusnacht parade. Mari Lwyd is my favorite Welsh folk custom, and it's really cool to see her in the South!

The semester is done, so I went downtown to see the lights. I hope everyone's holidays are joyous and bright! 🥰

I couldn't decide between two images! If you see this, post an image you saved because it made you laugh.

(It's funny because, before I saw this meme, I noticed a opossum eating with the feral cats and called him "Marx" because he was "redistributing the resources.")

Happy Halloween, my friends! It finally feels like autumn here in Pensacola, and I'm determined to make this the best, spookiest season ever!

WHILE SHE HISSED AND GROWLED AT HIM. Apparently, it's not that everyone loves him. It's just that Mr. Kitt has no survival instincts at all.

Anyway, here is Mr. Kitt, he who has no survival instincts. 2/2

Took Christmas photos with my brother. This is my favorite, even though it looks, in hindsight, like the cover of a spicy romance novel involving a hero who shapeshifts into a snowman called "Winter's Warmth: A Winter Wonderland Romance" or something.
