I take photos of people and I (try to) read a lot— I’m interested in grief, community building, care, gay stuff. I have a background in studying Black Sound Studies in Literature (proud PhD drop out)
the 2000s were tough on ‘em so they’re microblading lol hopefully they grow back enough while the microblading fades

I also adopted an old, sick, stinky cat thinking she had a couple of months left, it’s been 6 years and she’s my whole life

went on a side quest and finished reading The Girls by Emma Cline. I loved her prose. captivating story, I enjoyed the jumps in the timeline, the lowkey suspense/looming doom and the way the narrator acknowledges the darkness of the story while also telling it from her experience & perspective.

biden doesn’t deserve credit for shit, he’ll forever be remembered as genocide joe and that’s it. he allowed this to go on for wayyyyy too long to “deserve credit” in any way shape or form

people are just so afraid of grief and I think it’s a shame that they project that unto their kids instead of facing the reality that we all have to deal with grief at some point and it’s much better to be prepared for it
