The best part about turning 40 this year is slowly disappearing from the male gaze. What a fucking relief, 12 year old me would be ecstatic if she knew there was an end in sight.

I swear the hardest thing in the whole world is letting your child fail so as not to enable them. I could fix everything, I know the answers, I could do it all for them, I could make things easier in a heartbeat, but what good would it do them as an adult? Pardon me as I have a moment of mom guilt.

Ok, if you're not afraid of spiders stop doom scrolling for a sec & look at this baby! He was in my window so he got a drink of water & a lil field trip to the rainbow chard out on the patio. P.s. excuse the ragged cuticles, I'm busy doing important things like taking pictures of bouncy fuzz butts.

I told the robins
The chickadees
And the crows
Of your misdeeds
Dandelion puffs
Bathed in baneful smoke
Dispersed with intent
Now seed the earth
Only the natural world
Knows of the debt
Our great mother
Comes to exact
The chickadees
And the crows
Of your misdeeds
Dandelion puffs
Bathed in baneful smoke
Dispersed with intent
Now seed the earth
Only the natural world
Knows of the debt
Our great mother

Sometimes the balm for a grieving heart, is some mediocre vodka on ice & a giant oatmeal raisin cookie. I don't really like chocolate, so you'll never need to worry about finding nothing but oatmeal raisin in the box while I'm around. Your chocolate is safe with me 🍪

Don't ask me if the glass is half full or if it's half empty. The answer is, it depends. Did you empty half of it or did you fill it up halfway? My brain isn't wired for metaphors.

Not a bad haul for my little home reference library; considering a 1/4 of the floor space was allocated to christian reading materials. Science was relegated to 3 shelves, Art was stuffed in the corner, and several of my finds were miscategorized. Perhaps a metaphor for the state of my community?

In all my purchasing years and potentially thousands of dollars spent buying Legos, I've never actually bought any for myself. So here I am, uncomfortably close to middle aged, proudly sharing my first set of Legos. Cause there's a dandelion in it & their persistence is inspirational.

I'll never be as cool as I am now: Listening to L7, while I scrub the toilet & receive a lecture from my four year old about how unjust it is that putting all of the toys away, includes the ones under the bed.

In the interest of efficiency, it's time to look over the ol' W-4 and reassess our withholdings. Wouldn't want to deposit billions of dollars in wasteful overpayments into the treasury now would we?

When I'm not watching my country go to hell in a handbasket. I say loving things to my progeny like, "You know vegetables help regulate your digestive system right? So if you wanna shit normally you should eat some." Perks of growing up a book nerd in a crass household, you end up smart & vulgar.

This administration is as inescapable as my grandpa's "pull my finger" jokes from my childhood; but at least that shit was funny.

Is this a battle jacket? I dunno, but it's a hoodie that I do some novice level; spooky-shit applique work on in my free time. I'm working on the layout for another piece of it but it's a slow process. #battlejacket #appliquework

I don't have much for an introductory post. So, here's a garbage quality video clip of a little jumping spood (maybe phidippus audax) in my office catching a tiny treat.
