Hey hey new followers!

Tadaaaaa 🍊 my stylist is an alchemist, I love it when we make magic.
I will not let that Cheeto-hued pissbaby take a favorite color from me — if college football couldn’t do it he sure af can’t.

Saying goodbye to my green tomorrow. I’m already having fomo about it, but I know I’ll love my fresh floss just as much once it’s done.
Anyone wanna take bets on my next color? Winning guesses might get a little treat from yours truly…!

This isn’t even my final form, but I gotta say: getting tattooed was a mistake. Because now I want more.
It’s like okay, I get it now. The little glimmers I get just from seeing my art is fuckin rad. And reclaiming my scars has felt so, so good.

This line has been bubbling up in my psyche a lot lately. Whatever happens next, I stay true to myself and accept the opportunities that are meant for me.

I had a lovely week with family, but certainly grateful to have our house back. Still know how to strike a pose though 😉

Two things:
A) this photo is a perfect encapsulation of me in my 40s — eating a giant snickerdoodle at a hardcore show, and
2) wearing a sensory aid in public is like a Batsignal for fellow Autistics. I’ve been adopted by another ND every time I’ve worn them.

Happy Halloween the first! I kicked off spooky season with a bang by getting to be the killer in a burlesque murder mystery show. Here I am pre-show dreaming about the Taco Bell I was gonna get on the way home.

One of my favorite Portland acquisitions. It’s very Vaporwave and very gay — so obviously very me.
