looking at animals in their enclosures

Orbit I thought I was holding grief. Tonight I see grief is holding me. Not with a vice grip. Not with a fist. More the way gravity holds the earth to the sun-a force without which our planet would lose all warmth, all life. Love has many names. Grief is one, and I am grateful tonight for the way it tethers me not only to pain but to beauty, goodness, connection. Tonight I see grief not as a problem to be solved but as an energy to explore, to move with, to circle what is beloved. There is some comfort even in knowing it will never let me go. It is right that it should hold me, even as I turn and turn. -Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer

oooooh I gotta try this one

daintily crossed paws for the illusion of politeness

god, I wish people would Shut Up

Looking up at stars, I know quite well That for all they care I can go to hell But on earth indifference is the least We have to dread from man or beast. How would we like it were stars to burn With passion for us we cannot return If equal affection cannot be Let the more loving one be me. Admirer as I think I am Of stars that do not give damn I cannot, now I see them, say I missed one terribly all day. If all stars were to disappear or die I should learn to look at an empty sky And see its total dark sublime Though this might take me a little time. W.H Auden

Ohhh yes I did see this!!! will consider next time I want a pizz pie :)

!!! Which pizza 👁️

found Powells book store today and I’m in so much danger now 8)

feel this. Moved across the country and still Think About It every single day. Yearn for a time when I eventually don’t. takes time and space and healing and that shit is so fucking hard. Spiritual path end game hard, truly.

my learned strat has been to press it really well, then cut into slabs, then coat each side with some corn starch and cook in skillet til golden on each side, THEN marinate after cooking. Keeps more flavor that way!!

genuinely, mad respect to those who can hold a corporate job. I couldn’t hack it.

sleeping with ur hand down ur pants on the train sure is

gonna do my first #portfolioday i guess? i’m spore, i’m a PNW based artist who makes little guys and art with esoteric vibes. i work primarily in needlefelt, ceramic, handpoke tattooing, and i’ve recently gotten into painting, but i truly would just love to dabble in whatever art form i can try!

went straight from being SUPER SICK to having a GNARLY PERIOD. Zero seam allowance, living in a human body is so fun and cool 😎

I hope it gives you some relief, finally 🙏

These go so crazy!!!!

Fugaziiii🤘

you don’t need a salary on paper when you’re doing insider trading & blatant market manipulation, my guy. Head in the fucking sand over here.

GOD >:( some people do not deserve to have pets

Sometimes you’ve got to do it scared

this evokes so much

Immediately made the one with red tones my wallpaper on my phone

I boosted the saturation on some just to see what colours were actually present.

i hope humans make it. The universe is practically a baby and I believe we're among the first capable life forms. All the hatred and fighting we do I believe is because we're in an awkward mid-evolution point having evolved from a very violent/territorial species. Sad I won't be able to see it fully

This makes me emotional as fuckkkk haha

yeah, even with a little wobble I was able to sleep on it all night just fine and there are ways to fix that. Common issue with wood lofts. It is such a space saver in a small living area. Definitely worth taking advantage of vertical space when space is limited

hassling the seller for partial refund because the boxes all said white on them & I couldn’t return it, anyway. I needed it to be done and built. Thing was designed like it was made to flat pack into a box & not like it was made to actually assemble
