👋I’m Shannon, a curious soul seeking joy in little things. I exist within chaotic bouts of creativity and struggle with consistency. I am mainly here to admire art and chat about the human condition. Join me!
It has been hard to celebrate beauty and joy lately (*gestures broadly at the state of things*), but I could not resist appreciating this little cluster of immature pine cones. I love this beautiful world so much, even when human things get scary.

Went on a nature walk with my brother. I am not always where I want to be, but I was today.

I love coming to campus a bit early to see what new things might be blooming. Also milkweed was my favorite plant as a child.

Without downloading any new pics, where are you mentally? Not where I want to be but I'm working on it.

I played Content Warning with @daddy-camelot.bsky.social @dotv2.bsky.social @fifisqueaks.bsky.social this weekend and if I were to sum it up in one word it would be "shocked." I love my friends.

And she is done! I named her Patches. This is my second crochet project ever and I am pretty happy even with lots of room for improvement. The pattern is by The Mary Jane on YT.

Snow is continuing to accumulate and I feel little guilty admitting that I love it. I know people are having a hard time traveling right now, but all this snow is like a hug I have desperately needed. (Athens likes it, too.)
