2025 was one of the hardest years of my life. I lost nearly everything, and barely survived the summer.
Since then, I've made it a year of saying "yes" — to new homes, new friends, and new experiences. I still live on the margins, but I'm safe, I'm loved, and I'm ready to keep saying "yes" in 2026!

Accidently following 25 professional nature photographers was the best day 1 mistake I could have made. My timelines are sprinkled with beauty. The doom is interspaced with bloom.

Still gong through the highlights of 2025. I'm still in February. We had some amazing #aurora evenings when I was up in Churchill guiding tours.

This is one of my favorite paintings, from any painter, ever.
Not only is she crushing Mein Kampf, but the arc of her rivet gun's cable also evokes a serpent being crushed under her heel - even while the rivet gun herself is laid on her apron like Christ on the lap of the Virgin Mary.

I didn’t know until now that in the original Rosie the Riveter painting, she is crushing a copy of Mein Kampf under her foot. Happy feast of the Blessed Virgin Mary, remembering all the women who crush the serpents of Satan under their heel.

CBS pulled the 60 Minutes CECOT segment, but Canada aired it anyway.
The segment was streaming via Global TV and YouTube (since taken down). Having a VPN set to Canada helped. 🇨🇦
My take, there is no reason we shouldn’t see this. Most of it was known information, easily searchable.

It's important to note for the consultant people: Kat is tied for first place, she's raised more money in this race than anyone else, and she hasn't used Twitter in months.
It's a website filled with racist AI snuff films and it's rigged against you specifically. There's no good reason to use it.

This has always been a Bluesky-first campaign. But as of today, we will no longer be using Twitter. At all.
And I'm calling on other candidates to follow suit.

Attacks on feminism are similar to attacks on vaccines. We begin to take for granted a world where women have rights and most children live to see adulthood, and then, over time, we begin to forget, neglect, and (now) reject the movements and innovations that brought us here.
Until the mid-1970’s, a man could not be convicted of rape in New York State based solely on the testimony of the woman he raped. A second witness was required because the female rape victim was deemed unreliable.
Feminism has not failed women.
