I live in the Texas Borderlands (and want to leave). I’m a Writer. Mexicana. Mama. Pop-culture junkie. Reader. Researcher. Editor. Academic.
This is Catt Murdock. He’s a 3 month old blind baby boy that has been through so much in her short life, yet he keeps on with the sass and WILL steal your girl. 🥹😂

Henry, channeling Smaug with my kid’s Valentine’s loot

Henry, hoping his humans give him a little snacky snack from the fridge 😂
February 12, 2025 at 1:37 PM
I was eating and Henry was pretending he wasn’t interested 😂

Thought I had posted this here as well as on other platforms 😂 Henry likes to attack his dad. Then he makes this face when he’s subsided 😂🖤

Another rage as resistance shitty first draft poem I wrote this morning. My daughter is brilliant and will be 6 this month. I can’t believe I get to be her mom. 🖤 While the world burns around us, she is number 1. She will always know we love her and support her. Always.

Henry, wanting my chair, again.
January 26, 2025 at 8:15 PM
Henry, waiting for me to be done using “his” chair. (Insert be mine, but he took it over and we fight over it from time to time.) 😒

Another shitty first draft resistance poem I wrote on my phone while I lie in bed thinking about my bones and Frodo and Aragon and Smegol and Sam and Gandalf and the Shire is burning…
January 23, 2025 at 8:34 PM
Resist.

(And also…beware the flu. I’m very aware of my bones at the moment 🤧)
January 22, 2025 at 5:42 PM
I write this #shittyfirstdraft in my notes app and posted it. We cannot remain silent and complacent. Resist.

My kiddo’s fever finally broke, our strays all survived the cold plunge in the home I set up for them, one of them had babies in there (🙃), our pipes are okay, we didn’t lose power, I’m congested and coughing, and my hand tattoo has dropped out so much (😔) but we’re warm and we’re together today 🖤
January 21, 2025 at 3:07 PM
Hoping the strays we feed like their little shelter during the freeze the next couple of days 🖤

I’m doing all I can to log off everything tomorrow. 4 years ago, I watched the inauguration with my toddler. This year, my almost 6year old and I will spend it baking and winter weather prepping. We can still have glimmers in the darkness. We need to hold on to them fiercely ✊🏼🖤✨

“There are no words in Elvish, Entish, or the tongues of man for this treachery.”

I’m sad and mad and scared as a permanent resident/non-citizen in a country who (especially) hates (smart, mouthy) women.

Henry Catvill knows his angles 😍🖤

Inner wrist hurts a lot in parts, but overall not as bad as collarbone, I’d say. Outer wrist felt more like scratching on the skin than nerve level pain.

I think this is where you mean? (But I have my whole forearm and outer arm done. Planning inner), that’s Henry Catvill, he’s a handsome boy.
January 12, 2025 at 3:50 PM
I will get this touched-up/re-done even though it hurt so much more than I thought I would. It’ll look how I want it to look in the end, but I’m still sad it dropped out so much 😭

And this isn’t my artist’s fault or my aftercare’s fault. It just happens sometimes, unfortunately. 😩
January 12, 2025 at 2:57 PM
This flippin’ guy 😒
Just sat there, slow blinking at me too. We had a rough day today 😂 lots of cattiness between us.
January 12, 2025 at 3:26 AM
Doodles with my kiddo before I’m done with coffee 🥱
January 11, 2025 at 4:15 PM
Just submitted a short story I wrote for consideration for this conference. I’ve never been to the east coast, so here’s hoping I get to come May! 🤞🏼🤞🏼

Henry Catvill in Outpost Kickass (Fort Kickass is located under the coffee table. Made up entirely of boxes he chose and dragged under it.) ☺️🖤

Best lockdown purchase ever. Color saturation isn’t up. It’s a normal camera setting under fluorescent lighting in a waiting area. They’re so pretty 😍 got them in 2020 and only started using them in 2022, sparingly since. 🖤

This is only the first half of the video I posted elsewhere. Essentially, rest if you can bc your body will force you to if you don’t. I’ll be teaching 6 ENGL 1302 classes. My prep starts next week. For now, reading, resting, and chillin before Spring semester insanity. 🖤
