I won my friend group’s fantasy #survivor game last night :)) our group is appropriately named “girls, gays, theys, & allies”) and the prize was a season 49 merge Buff®️, modeled by Bowen in the photo below!

People who don’t have sisters will never get to know the joy of begging them for advice on what to wear for a job interview, date, or party, then immediately disregarding their advice and wearing something completely different

I’m making twice baked baby potato bites and homemade vegan chocolate pudding for the #Survivor49 finale tonight 😋

Can’t wait to see Savannah pop off at FTC (even if I am #TeamSage… I’m also realistic 🤭)

I've made it a personal goal to stop using the term "content" when referring to media made by artists. The word implies mass-produced filler and calling someone's hard work their "content" has started to feel kinda like an insult. Like human art made strictly for quick consumption
the enthusiasm for generative AI would not have been possible without prior decades of capitalist conditioning to view works of art as products, rather than acts of culture and shared human life
I think the fundamental gap here is that non-creative people think that creative people make things for the end product, when in fact it’s the act of creation and not the end point that makes it worthwhile.

Matching the energy of people who treat me poorly feels like revenge, but it’s actually just protecting my peace. I’m learning to stop giving out hugs where punches could be justified. #selflove

It is very important during these insane times to remain human. Practice kindness, compassion, and understanding. Now, you better take zero shit and stand up for you. But be good. Be a force of love. This creates amazing change. Little change, sure, but as it ripples outwards, eventually it grows.

A haiku* from the archives titled, “Courage”

You spread yourself thin
Holding others’ suffering
Why not hold your own?

Sometimes the truth really hurts but I can at least be grateful to have people in my life who will tell me those painful truths in a gentle and loving way.

Pan fried spicy garlic maple tofu is one of my favorite ways I cook tofu 😋

Understanding my capacity to harm others, and also knowing that is part of what makes me human, gives me greater compassion towards those who have harmed me—because they’re only human too.

Tonight’s @crowdcontroldo.bsky.social episode only confirmed what we all already knew, which is that the venn diagram between @dropout.tv fans and polyamory is a circle 😭

Apparently my friends conspired together to try to make me cry on my birthday and they succeeded 😭🥹 I’m feeling so grateful this morning for such a fun celebration last night

Forced these two to binge all of ATLA with us leading up to this concert that they got us tickets to for our birthdays. So worth it, the concert was incredible.
