It's been a couple days since my East Coast vacation/meet-the-family ended, and I'm already missing it.
Oh, to be swing dancing with my beloved at a seaside Christmas market while enjoying good seafood again. 😭

Yesterday's Jen was a dumb-dumb who didn't do her cool-down stretches.
I do a sport where I'm constantly squatting and lunging, you'd think I'd learn. 😭

I appreciate how my coaches describe my dueling style, because it's usually a gleeful "she's fast".

When you're pushing Indigenous peoples off of their homelands in the name of "conservation", then turn around and build resorts for the ultra wealthy in (supposedly protected) fragile ecosystems containing endangered species important to these peoples, claims of "eco-tourism" really don't hold.

Went to an amusement park with some friends yesterday, and I had a bunch of honeybees just hanging out around my legs. One even rested on my knee after a ride on the Tilt-A-Whirl.
I guess this is confirmation that I am, in fact, the bee's knees.

I stopped at the stoplight next to my DMs wife and their dogs while coming home from work yesterday.
It was such a delightful surprise, I adore them Your Honour.

Sometimes working in a museum department with a bunch of Animal Crossing folk means doing your office work while the museum theme plays in the background. 🦉✨️

Getting all of my gear ready for this weekend's tournament.
I'm both super excited and terribly nervous. It'll be a great learning experience though, and I get to both explore a new city and catch up with a dear friend!

95°F+ weather means I'm almost exclusively wearing floaty linen poet shirts and things that vaguely suggest Edwardian undergarments.

My friend thought I had already played Expedition 33 because I'm a cosplayer who fences, and assumed Maelle was on my radar.
Anyway, guess who's now playing Expedition 33.

Telling people that I have 3 different species of nightshade in my garden is actually kind of fun.
The black nightshade the birds planted is producing like nobody's business rn.
