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.)

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?

Looks like an orbweaver to me & iNaturalist seems to agree. Have you named her yet?

In honor of @maryengelbreit.bsky.social joining Bluesky a few days ago, I wanted to share this tin I’ve been safekeeping for the past 30 years.

Mary has always been one of the helpers, one of the lights. Give her a follow. ❤️🎨❤️

My new go-to quote for All The Things. 💔

“The work of the mature person is to carry grief in one hand and gratitude in the other and to be stretched large by them. How much sorrow can I hold? That's how much gratitude I can give.” — Francis Weller

This is a milkweed seed. Go ahead dear ones & make a wish for 2025… I hope it comes true for you. ✨

Meanwhile, very excited to have spotted these bonded ravens three days in a row… & I love how they talk to one another when they think no one is listening. 🥰🥰🥰
Two ravens eating raw unsalted peanuts in the shell with enthusiasm (& tolerating the human trying to get a picture of them).
