Iris has been lost for more than 24 hours! I repeat, IRIS HAS BEEN LOST FOR MORE THAN 24 HOURS!

I sometimes get worried that if Finn ever found it on the floor, he would just eat the entire vape pen.

So how's your Friday night? 🚀🐾

A large black German Shepherd named Finn with amber eyes and tall pointed ears sits on concrete, wearing a colorful argyle knit sweater in red, yellow, pink, and light blue. A light purple leash is attached to his collar with a “FINN” rocket tag. He looks calmly up at the camera, because he is the handsomest of the handsome goodest of the good babiest of the baby boys in all the galaxy 🚀

If it's below 50°, mom makes us wear sweaters 🥶
Two adorable dogs, Finn (left) and Alice (right), standing side by side on outdoor stone steps. Both are wearing colorful knitted sweaters and pink leashes. Finn is a sleek black dog with pointy ears, licking his nose and looking slightly to the side. His sweater is a vibrant mix of red, yellow, white, and light blue with a rocket tag that reads “FINN.” Alice is a smaller brindle-and-white dog with a big happy grin and her tongue out. She’s wearing a pink turtleneck layered under a striped red, pink, green, and brown sweater. The late afternoon sun lights them beautifully as they pause on the stairs, looking like the best-dressed and happiest duo ready for a chilly walk! 🐾❤️

This Thanksgiving, I am thankful for mental health drugs & that we still have the insurance to get them. This wasn't always the case. And on this particularly chilly night in San Francisco, I think of people who don't have access to drugs like that, no insurance, and are cold on the streets 💔
A selfie of Holly lying down on a bed, smiling softly at the camera. She has long, wavy light brown hair, fair skin with freckles, and is wearing black-framed glasses. She’s dressed in a dark T-shirt featuring a bold red design of Neko Case's name surrounded by flames and handprints, partially covered by a blue and white patterned grandma sweater

Dark undereyes and all, a shower is fucking restorative
A close-up selfie of a person with light skin and freckles, blue eyes, and a subtle smile. Their dark hair is wrapped in a black towel turban-style, suggesting they’ve just come out of the shower or bath. The photo is softly lit with a warm, intimate feel, and they’re looking directly at the camera with a calm, confident expression. Bare shoulders visible, relaxed and natural vibe.

If you were a teenager in the 80s, I don't think I want to know you if you haven't puked MD 20/20 Purple Passion out your nose. You're drunk, and you're pretty sure you're dying.

#TheMDStandsForMogenDavid
A clear glass flask-shaped bottle filled with dark red liquid, featuring a black label with gold borders. The label shows a bunch of purple grapes at the top and reads “MD 20/20” in large stylized white letters, with “RED GRAPE WINE” on a purple banner below. The bottle has a silver screw cap. A bottle of Mad Dog 20/20 Red Grape Wine, the official beverage of poor life choices and legendary regrets.

Photo of a giant bruise on the side of my leg. It looks a little bit like the lady of Guadalupe is in the middle.

STOP. this is a selfie checkpoint. you must repost with a cute selfie to proceed
A close-up selfie of a woman with long, wavy chestnut-brown hair with soft highlights, wearing bold black cat-eye glasses. She has fair skin with a few light freckles, bright blue eyes peeking over the frames, rosy cheeks, and glossy pink-red lipstick. She’s giving a gentle, slightly playful smile. She’s wearing a cozy cream-and-caramel striped sweater, and the background is a soft purple pillow. Warm, intimate bedroom lighting with a relaxed vibe.

Tuesday at Neko Case and John Grant @ The Masonic - gorgeous and lush ❤️

#NekoCase #JohnGrant #LiveMusicIsLife
A stage set up under warm amber lights. Neko Case in the middle moving too fast to capture. This was before I knew she did not want video or photos at the show. Respect. The Masonic in San Francisco. Upward view of a ceiling covered in thousands of dark, rounded protrusions (like acoustic foam or textured panels), with bright light streaming through irregular gaps, creating a dramatic, cavernous effect. Hyper-moisturizing and depuffin' for that bouncy skin of youth! Same woman… Teabags on eyes, white silicone mask, and a green terry cloth hoodie. Close-up of John Grant playing keyboards and singing his adorable little heart out

Tight close-up of a woman’s face lying down, with tousled brown hair, blue eyes looking upward, glossy lips, and freckles. She wears a burgundy slip dress and the same bow choker; the background is dark and out of focus.

A bearded man with graying hair, wearing glasses and a black-and-white checkered shirt, stands next to the same young woman in the mustard-yellow sweater. They pose closely together indoors under warm ceiling lights, both smiling slightly. Full-body photo of a woman seated in a wheelchair on an urban sidewalk at night. She wears the same mustard-yellow off-shoulder sweater, burgundy slip dress, studded ankle boots, and accessories including rings, bracelets, and a small crossbody bag. A marble staircase and city street are in the background.

Me and my girl, a year ago today ❤️

#CityDogAlice #DogSky
A person with long brown hair, wearing a gray sweater, black skirt, and beat up black motorcycle boots, stands on a tiled floor while holding a pink leash attached to a brindle-colored dog wearing a matching pink harness, named Alice. The person has sunglasses on their head and a small checkered bag slung across their body. A frosted glass window reflects a blurred figure in the background. A person with long brown hair, wearing a gray sweater, dark skirt, and beat up black motorcycle boots, sits in a wheelchair outdoors on a sunny day. They are gently touching the tail of a brindle-colored dog, Alice, wearing a purple harness and attached to a leash. The scene is set on a concrete path near a grassyed area with greenery and a wooden bench in the background.

This is what 3 days of nearly constant crying looks like. I don't know how my eyes will ever be normal again.

He told me that I was an "embarrassment because I drop everything," because I accidentally dropped my water bottle on the floor. I have neuropathy in my hands, and I often drop things.

this is where I post from
Alice the brindle boxer-shepherd sits upright and alert on a cozy bed, while Hank the Maine Coon tabby cat lies relaxed beside her, resting his head on a pillow. They share a floral-patterned blanket on a white metal-framed bed in a warmly lit bedroom with a lamp, fan, and nightstand in the background.

Who is your most favorite VAMPIRE?

It's really hard to narrow down, and I'm having bi-panic, so I will pick 2 who I really, really wanted to bite me 🫦
Bram Stoker's Dracula (1992) Stills A vertical three-panel film strip. The top panel shows Sadie Frost (Lucy Westenra) in a pale gown laughing while looking up in a dark, overgrown hedge maze. The middle panel shows a close-up of Lucy looking shocked or screaming. The bottom panel shows Winona Ryder (Mina Murray) and Lucy in the rain, sharing a passionate, rain-soaked kiss in the maze. True Blood - Eric Northman A close-up of Alexander Skarsgård as the vampire Eric Northman, sitting shirtless outdoors. His expression is serious and focused, and smoke is visible rising off his bare shoulder in the foreground. Snow-capped mountains are visible in the bright background.

post you from a different era

(1973, 4 years old, and freaky-tall already)
Me (Holly) young girl (1973, 4 years old) with shoulder-length brown hair and bangs smiles at the camera while sitting on the hood of her Grandpa's 70s Ford F-100 pickup truck. She is wearing a white short-sleeved midriff top with ruffled details and dark shorts, paired with white shoes. The truck has a classic design with a prominent front grille and round headlights. In the background, a house with light-colored siding and windows is visible. The photo has a slightly faded, vintage quality, because I myself am vintage and slightly faded.
