Found on the box of my favorite rosin (Dime Industries Wedding Cake) which i found b/c i decided to dab today… “Stop shrinking to fit places you’ve outgrown!” Even if that place is in your own head. I led with “yes” today even when it was uncomfortable.
And that is the Lookah Seahorse Pro Plus.
An open orange, gold, and white Dime Industries Rosin box sits on a wooden table with the open jar and too next to it. Atop is the orange Looka Seahorse Pro dab rig.

My art supplies
have suffered from years in The Deep. Stiff with dried glue, paint, and tears. Stagnant and forgotten.

Wait, did Superman and Lois create a cult episode in which the owner of the Smallvlle newspaper(the woman in the tan coat) gets sucked into a cult (by a cult leader named Ally). She looks a lot of Alison Mack (Chloe from Smallville) who got caught up in that cult??? Wow!

I asked our favorite Librarian to help spread the word about my book and he reshared it. I’m 🥰🥰🥰

It has taken me some time to embrace that I wrote two editions of this book. I’m proud of this work, but it’s a complicated pride for which the words to explain don’t come easily.

Crocheting with all black yarn is so challenging because its close to impossible to see the stitches. But so far, this hat is looking good..

A piece i wrote. #bvm
Screenshot of a poem written in notepad. It says I’ve never forgotten my place in this world. Stuffing to hold up the illusion. To exist for everyone else’s desires. I’ve felt the repeated pecking against my bones. Torn flesh taken by pounds and stolen by hallow exclamations of love. And nothing hurts more than the disappointment of hope. Except maybe the realization that you will never be enough.

Replenished the stash and reclaiming my peace tonight and this weekend. Haven’t been to he dispensary in a while as I use THC-A > #cannabis these days. I picked up KUSH Mints and Novarine bud, a new dry herb vape (YoCan HIT) to replace my Ooze Flare which has seen better days. What’s in your stash?
Photo features two 1/8th jars of weed flower, a yellow box of THC-A and a large THC-A preroll in a yellow bag, and a white box containing HIT dry herb vape by YoCan positioned atop a brown surface.
