Microdosing
Since my last post, I became more radicalized as predicted. I am plotting to become vegan in 2026, most specifically when I move back to PDX. Until then, I will be microdosing veganism and, well, maybe macrodosing it too. My rationale? Easing in will help me build sustainable habits. I will learn how to make…

Value Alignment and why it’s Worth the Effort
For the longest time I felt weird about eating meat. Not just weird; bad. Icky, guilty, etc. I was definitely a closeted vegetarian (I am a pescatarian as of right now but I could see myself being radicalized further in the future)…(no I don’t think fish have less soul or worthiness of life, it is…

sardine bones
the creepy crunchy crunch the boney briny bunch i eat these sea-picked fishies hoping to gain their nutrients and pack a filling punch the tin is quite pleasing to look at it makes me feel like a fisherman at the sea or like someone who lives off of the rural coast I read the posts,…

& Just like that

Girl, Uninspired?
It’s been a minute, I miss you. It’s not that I haven’t been thinking about you, I have. It’s just been difficult to write you lately. I have updates but none of them feel worthy or interesting enough. My ‘love life’ took a steep shift lately for the better – as you know, my brain…

Instilling Rituals for a better Life
The best place for me to be is close to the divine. When I feel otherworldly and “in my spiritual bag” as my best friend and I call it, I feel truly embodied. I get to experience mysticism on a daily basis, but it isn’t always an intentional, slow and smooth connection. For example, sometimes…

Queer Friendships
I think part of the reason Wicked makes myself and other (specifically queer) women tick is because of the intentional choice of how Elphaba and Glinda’s relationship is portrayed. It’s clear (and confirmed) that “Gelphie” goes beyond friendship, despite their official label being friends. So many queer women, including myself, can relate to this dynamic.…
