Clio lounging on the porch earlier this week

Giving my little birb they/them pronouns and playing around with outfits has been so freeing (on top of Finch being my daily to-do list and keeping me sane). Juniper says hey!

Wearing my "biology is bigger than binaries" shirt at @originsgamefair.bsky.social and SO MANY PEOPLE have loved it (one vendor even has one, too). @sarahmackattack.bsky.social out here killin' it 💪

Where did you get this picture of my cat?

Clio reporting for cute-duty (I'd crouched down for a picture of her snoozing face, but my knee popped so loudly that she startled awake 🤣)

Look out, Chris, he's behind you! Thanks for the fun evening, @scalzi.com and @chriswarcraft.bsky.social -- and shout out to @aadl.org and @eli.aadl.org for getting these two goobers on stage!

Just kicked in for a couple of pet-care funds. It's the least I and my cozy tortie can do ❤️

It's just so stupid

Clio and I are grateful for the good energy you bring to these blue skies 🩵💙

I love my cat's activation noise -- the wake-up chirp always makes me smile

this lil old lady

I love when Bluesky collapses a thread and I get to guess how the conversation got from Point A to Point B 🤣

Finished renovating my kitchen, fed a lot of pollinators, and immortalized my garden on my arm

Clio claimed my foot

The exclamation points really make it sing

My hour-old tattoo featuring beloved native plants, birds, and bugs from my Michigan back yard:

I got my first tattoo over the weekend (a Mary Oliver quote that's been carrying me this year) and am now dreaming up an armful of Michigan wildflowers to go with it

Made these lil felted acorns at my local library yesterday

This is Clio, the sweet potato pie-flavored empress of triomgles

Found this amazing small animal skull while cleaning up a community member's back yard

Six kinds of daylilies are blooming in my back yard right now, all transplants rescued from deer-munching death in my aunt's yard

This creature is a cartoon character and I love her

The very best

Long mornings lounging in bed with this lovely senior lady

Had a grand time at the @ypsilibrary.org Superior Branch yesterday, learning a new craft! Nothing like stabbing a hunk of wool over and over again to get you psyched up for a protest 🤩

Just finished stitching this great piece designed by @thestitchcrypt.com

Encouraging update, though!

Just found myself doing happy tippy-taps like an overeager golden retriever, all because I looked out the window at all the small green things starting to pop in my front flower bed. Tulips Daffodils Crocuses We made it, folks.
