Delia doesn't know what tariffs or fac1sm means. She just loves the beach and fetch and her families. I am so grateful for her love and influence, especially now.
Delia is smiling for the camera with her eyes closed. She has an orange jacket on and is standing on a beach at magic hour. Nothing but blue skies

The best part of having my poetry in the subway is knowing healthcare workers might see it, right when they need it.
A poem hangs in a subway. It's called "Things I took from my hospital jobs" here are the words : bandaids pens lanyards / a stained set of scrubs / and the ability to laugh like a siren / when tragedy wants to win // gauze steri-strips gloves / and the knowledge / that time is meant / for love // paper clips / stories I cannot share / and the memories of how / we held each other through them // working in emerfency is all reaction / so my art becomes prevention / because dealing in death / taught me how to live

I know I should get better at bluesky. Everywhere else is such a billionaire hellscape. To say thanks for this platform, please enjoy this beautiful oil portrait of my dog roommates falling in lurve.
Two dogs are on the floor gazing at each other. One is a husky mix, the other a small mixed breed. They are both shades of brown to back and to white. They are encircled. My feet are also present in the lower half of the photo. There is sunlight streaming across the wood floor

I tweaked my back playing with my dog. Or did she carefully plan a series of moves to cause this so I'd stay home?

I hear people are upset about the amount of people also protesting the war in Palest1ne during pride marches. Do they not realize pride is a protest? That queer and trans people are amongst those killed in this horrific moment in history? We are not free until we are all free. Period.
Charlie holds the camera low to capture a selfie. He is wearing a keffiyeh around their neck. They are also wearing a black chest harness and a mesh tanktop
