Back in the day when I still had time to volunteer at rescues. These were some of the lovely cats that came across my lens. They hopefully got a nice home. But there’s many still waiting for their golden basket.

We’ve been chasing sunsets together for over 6 years now. From terrified rescue to dog who has loudly learned to communicate his discomfort. You’re a champ and I’m proud to have earned your trust. #photography #adoptdontshop #dogs

Studying infectious disease whilst combatting my own infectious disease. Vet school in your 30s is a ball.

Very proud to report that I thought I failed an exam, got an email to say I passed, failed to read it correctly, and nearly studied another week for no reason. Thankfully I have friends who are better readers than me, so now I can sit in the sun and drink my coffee.

Genuinely cows scare the shit out of me. They’re so much bigger than they should be. But I’ll make exception for calves any day of the week.

If someone had told me how far away the finish line was going to be, I’m sure I still would have quit my very cushy job and done it cause but boy would I have made sure to have 3 extra vacations before. Almost there now. #veterinarystudent #startingoveragain

I live to make this mutt happy. He rarely is. He lives to make me happy. I rarely am. Thus we spent our existence in an ouroboros of perpetual love and sadness. But it’s cool. We have lots of little snacks along the way.

As an almost vet I am not a huge fan of pugs cause even at the start of my career I’ve already seen how broken they are. But I do understand why people love pugs. Look at that face. Look at that attitude.

This has been my background to my computer for years. Just upgraded my machine and it’s still one of my faves.

Vet school is wild. It’s mostly staring at computer screens and sitting in lecture halls. But some days you get to do the stuff one day will seem boring. But my job before was staring at computer screens and I never got to hang out with animals so it’s an upgrade either way.

This boy is my whole world. Where I go, he goes and vice versa. He’s endured the worst luck and still standing. He’s a pain in my ass. But ask me to choose and I will always choose him.

The US switching sides in the world, from pro-democracy and rule of law to anti-both — most immediately seen in helping Europe against Russia to helping Russia against Europe — is the biggest, most profound change to the international system since the USSR collapsed.
Immense implications, long tail.

Congrats to everyone who walked around with roses reminding me it’s valentine. Many more congrats to me for having to google twice today what day it was, and never realising twas valentine cause my main man loves me just as hard today as every day. And by that I mean very little, unless I have food.
