(all of life is a wonder and i am too)

Ongoing proof that I’m an animal with less thumbs than a raccoon and a smaller brain than a sperm whale.
If there’s money for a golden ballroom, then there’s money for universal basic income.

For the record: I consent to my taxes going towards universal basic income, not a golden ballroom or genocide.

It’s almost snuggle season and I’m so ready!

What is small talk?

People say they hate it…
And I’m not really sure if it is a specific thing or if it is more of a perception about interacting…

Fight or flight are great instincts.
Listen to them. Engage with them.

Your senses are real and want to be heard.
Listen to your gut, as they say.
Engage with all your senses.
Breathe.

Get curious about your breath.
Feel where you touch the ground and let your weight settle there.

it’s even more demoralizing when the history you’re repeating is history you were around for the first time

What is this obsession
with smartness?
What is this obsession
with beauty?
Why not an obsession
with nature?
Why not an obsession
with feeling?
If you call me smart or pretty,
I will wonder what you want.
If you call me wild and free,
I will know you see I’m alive too.

I gardened so hard, my laptop doesn’t recognize my fingerprints anymore. These calluses are hardcore!

For Friday the 13th, I unearthed a nest of spider varieties of all shapes and sizes, carrying egg nests, storing egg nests, some the size of my palm and some the size of my fingernail. 🕷️🕸️ Definitely creepy crawlies mood.

The most rebellious thing I’ve ever done is take care of myself.

I feel so victorious when I clear an entire garden bed of invasive plants to start fresh with natives, edibles, medicinals, and pollinator-loving plants.

The RFK Jr. version of health, where health creates health and healthy people don't get sick and the thing that keeps you healthy is /living the right way/ is very seductive to a lot of people. It also places the burden of illness back on the ill, which decreases the value of human life.

Are wild animal photographers more or less higher-risk, more reality Pokémon GO players?

“Try to love the questions themselves as if they were locked rooms or books written in a very foreign language.
Don't search for the answers, which could not be given to you now, because you would not be able to live them. And the point is, to live everything. Live the questions now.”

I’m trying to lean into celebrating when people don’t show up, because it gives me more space for those who do want to co-create with me.

Before choosing violence, flare those ear feathers to let rivals know you've had enough.

I keep trying to make friends with humans and end up so forlorn that I can’t be my true self with them…
and then I hang out with some flora, funga, and nonhuman fauna and feel more fully me and seen by these beings who are so free to just be…
Relationships can be like that, the earth tells me again…
