I used to be an author until I got sick.
Now I’m learning how to paint and sing.
Love art, puppies and acts of kindness.
Looking for the goodness that resides in most of us.
No crypto, no porn, no DMs

I won’t post often. I mainly repost animal, science, archaeology and anthropology posts.
The world is a dark place right now.
Bringing a little light into it might help someone 💜

Mr Fox 🦊 was not only one of the very first dogs Niall ever fed in the moped (he was in the first 6) but also the first to ever get sterilized.
To see him now in the snow in America with his wonderful forever family is a thing of pure joy.
