Callista (aka Claudia) is leaving the San Francisco Zoo soon. I said farewell to her yesterday, after 2 years of magical acquaintance. Tried to make a lover’s eye style ornament as a keepsake for myself; we’ll see (literally) if the finished product does her any justice. ❤️👁️❤️

A missed connection.
To the woman today at San Francisco’s Lands End, sitting on the sidewalk with her dogs and looking at the ocean, with tears flowing strong down both cheeks… I’m sorry I didn’t pull over and give you my new pocket pack of tissues. I hope your day got better. I hope you know you are loved by random strangers. I hope so many hopes for you. (& dear random Bluesky reader if you’re witnessing this post then please wish her well, too. Thank you.)

There's a pretty great Tumblr post about this:
A Tumblr post from user "nitewrighter," March 26. Me: I don't get it. I thought I was doing a lot better than I was a few years ago. I'm like 10 times more on top of things than I used to be. How does everything feel terrible now? The Tiny Me in OSHA-approved Hi-Vis Gear Who lives in my brain and pulls all the levers: Boss, it's the fascism. You're completely gunked up with cortisol due to the fact that your entire daily life is now underscored with a haunting awareness of the rapid erosion of your rights, dignity, and any and all social safety nets, and you're also bearing witness to the most vulnerable people immediately being persecuted. This creates a natural stress response that basically means you're going to continue having memory and organizational problems, as well as emotional imbalances. Me: BUT I HAVE A BULLET JOURNAL AND I MEDITATE NOW. Tiny OSHA Me: BOSS, THE FASCISM.

Thank you to Julia for this zine at yesterday’s No Kings protest. Photocopied and old school and absolutely delighted me. Indeed, we’re all in this together. 💕
Hand drawn zine for No Kings protest on October 18, 2025. Includes questions to ask yourself, including It’s not enough to be against something; what do you stand for?
