A bunch of my original drawings are up at the Ledding Library, here in Milwaukie, as part of a community themed art show featuring members of the Milwaukie Arts Committee. They’re all for sale too! If you’re around town I hope you’ll check it out.

The dark eyed juncos are back!
I love this time of year and seeing them show up all round gives my heart a lift. I like making their winters easier.

Got to feed the squirrel again today.
Earning the trust of smols continues to be the pinnacle of my achievements. How can I possibly be sad that some humans don’t like me when a squirrel comes to my door, peeks in & believes in me enough to eat out of my hand?

Dogs are actually magical creatures ✨
We only rate dogs. This is a family of Suburban Gold Fairies. It's rare for them to travel together like this. Very magical but please only send dogs. Thank you... 13/10 for all (TT: hdbrosriley)

Someone just told me it’s “too early” to be watching Christmas films.

It’s always tragic when a friendship has run its course.

Had coffee with my dad today.
He asked me if I had a good enough winter coat and knowing that my dad worries about me being warm enough will carry me through many days to come.
Just a gratuitous post to say how thankful I am that he exists and how lucky I feel to be cared for. ☺️

Favorite Christmas movies ❄️🎄

There’s so many that I love and watch every year but these are all tied to
very specific family traditions ☺️

Chief relaxation officer is someone who would be useful in my life 😅 lol
Kaneta-nyan, a laid-back cat, is the “Chief Relaxation Officer” of Kanetaya Furniture Store in Chiba City. As a professional in relaxation, he proposes a relaxed and comfortable lifestyle. When he eats peanuts, he suddenly starts talking passionately about furniture and interior design.

This is so very very true. Read anything, any book. I will never judge genre or style, just get lost in those pages whenever you can.
Reading saved my life. There are words out there so powerful that they keep you going when all else fails. Reading is magic and books can take you anywhere.
It sounds crazy but I promise you: if you just put your phone aside and read for half an hour each night before bed, it will change your life.

@jasontrost.bsky.social has made some of my favorite stuff.
He’s creative, passionate and honestly , no one out here is doing it like him. His films are some of our most rewatched “comfort” films & I’d love to see him make more awesome stuff. If you can help , please do, he’s legit one of a kind✌️

Sipping coffee &watching the Squirrels bury nuts in the yard.
tossed out some peanuts for them,I hope it helps them have a kinder winter.
Looking out for them is a small thing but it makes me feel better about existing.
They bring me so much joy just by being there,it seems the very least I can do.

Today consists of dog walks and cereal and vintage video games with plotting towards a cottage pie for dinner and a spooky movie.
Hope y’all have a very pleasant one ✌️
Life is short, squeeze out your joys y’all.
