and let's be honest: I love a complicated shoe and a painful hobby, so getting my flesh bruised a couple times a week by a big, metal pole ticks pretty much all of my ex-ballerina boxes🥹

may our joys replenish us and keep us ever in the fight ❤️

in news I never ever EVER thought I'd be sharing: despite the 18 years that have passed since ballet nearly killed me and I had to quit, and after more therapy than I could possibly even begin to describe--I started dancing again.

things are so hard but this? oh man. I missed my heart 😭😭😭😭

perfect last minute gift idea:

a science book about masochism that will make you squirm, laugh, cry, drool, giggle, snort, shriek, and do a big gay sigh with your hand over your heart 💝

"Hurts So Good" has all that and a blurb from THE @edyong209.bsky.social!! you cannot miss!

"Downtown Asheville infrastructure remained largely untouched by the storm"

this is not true!!! municipal water IS infrastructure and baby, there is nothing coming through the taps that you want to touch raw

how often do you cry? ngl I am good for like 6 or 7 times a day, minimum. I used to try really hard not to cry, but that was a waste of a life, so now I'm here to spread the gospel of the lacrymal agenda 🥲

why science writing? because when you hand a grown ass adult a pair of eclipse glasses, they always do a little earnest gasp when they see that part of the sun appears to be totally missing. happy eclipse day to every stranger who reveled in this joy with me, wonder is best when it's shared 🥲
