The world feels incredibly heavy right now, and holding onto hope feels nearly impossible. It’s a fragile thing—like a tiny bird in your hands, precious and delicate, but worth protecting. The stakes are so high, and the future is so terrifyingly uncertain. Guard your hope fiercely.

Spent time yesterday making some analog art—man, my inner perfectionist struggled! Gouache has a mind of its own, but I’m learning to let it do its thing (deep breaths).

Cats, books, and tea 💕

An ugly sentiment in a pretty frame. I’m so sad and angry right now.

History keeps yelling, “Don’t do that!” and we keep replying, “You’re not my mom!” So here we are. Again.

I don’t often post stuff that’s political in tone. And as an agnostic, I don’t usually get involved in matters of religion. But after the response to Bishop Budde’s sermon the other day, I felt compelled to put this together…
