Just found out about stamp duty and I AM DISTURBED, not that I will ever afford to buy a house.

SO excited that I’ll be getting back into more serious photography. Made the jump back into the Cannon System, with a lovingly used 6D II and the 24-70mm. Looking forward to sharing some of my new shots 💜

I've just watched Fair Heaven, movie about 2 guys love history, and it made me think about the song Fast Car by Tracy Chapman. Love the idea of leaving with someone you love and has been there for anything.

A touch so familiar, like a mirror I'd owned long before… I'd give anything for the boy who had listened all those years ago. But I'll crawl down to my cryptide and let my mind drift out in the cold. While you slither down here from Eden, nestled in the dark parts of my soul.

My girlfriend’s entire family is Mormon. I was so worried they would not accept or understand me. I am happy to say they have been more accepting than some of my own family. I would love to hear folks’ stories of unexpected acceptance. For me, this is an example of freedom and independence. Much more than I’ve felt towards the country/people so many are celebrating this weekend. What the government/politics represent at this time are not something I want to celebrate: control, hate, misogyny, etc. As I have been saying to anyone who wishes me a Happy 4th, “enjoy the long weekend!”

I remember you. Sweat glistening, Shirt off, On the street in Brooklyn. Black rimmed glasses, You got on at 49th st, Blond and tall in your suit. I remember you. Your bearded face and stolen glances, Walking through the sloping grass, Down towards the Pacific. You took my order, And said ‘welcome back’, I might have blushed. I remember you. ‘Hi how are you?’ Passing by with your dog, In Provincetown. ‘Hey gorgeous’ Unwelcome whisper in my ear, On 52nd and Broadway. I remember you. Post workout, Eating alone in your tank top, Physical. My nerves tensed, Walking close by your side, At the car show. Alone. I remember you. “Alone”

I had my first kiss at Pride in Toronto! Honestly, there’s not much of a story here. I was browsing handmade jewelry, and noticed a little sign saying something along the lines of “my ugly broke ass boyfriend broke up with me, so she’s and they’s- let’s kiss!” I was super awkward about it ofc - pointing at the sign and saying “do you wanna kiss?” Haha. Thankfully they were very sweet, and I walked away happy with the jewelry and the experience. I’ve always wanted to have my first kiss at pride - as an aro/ace lesbian, this was pretty perfect :)

Maybe space is not expanding into anything. Maybe space itself is what is expanding, almost like it is growing and making more room inside the universe. ✨🌌

On a second thought about White Fragility I think that the most important binary to dismantle is Bad person == Racist person. None of us thinks of themselves as a “bad person”. We genuinely believe (and most is correct, I’m sure) that we can be called a “good person” or at least we do not belong to the “bad person” category. This therefore exempts us from thinking that we may behave in a racist way or that we may have racist beliefs and biases. Aka - “Racism is bad; only bad people can be racist, right? Hence this is something that does not apply to me. I am not a bad person.” And just like that: whole conversation killed even before it started. Simple and effective avoidance strategy. Second one to dismantle would be: “I didn’t have bad intentions therefore I cannot be at guilt and my comfort needs to be protected. I cannot feel uncomfortable in this conversation”. Well, f-you. Intentions do not cancel the effects of actions, nor our comfort is required for the anti-racist argument being brought against our action.

I wanted to be vulnerable with my collective alogorithm. I have a little over 100 followers and I’m not sure if even more than 5 see my posts or shares. I’m an artist that grew up in the Hamptons on Long Island 🏝️ NY and I’ve been a business owner for 6 years now. I have 8 cats! A partner. And I’m not always happy these days. I turned 37 in June, I’m a summer baby, you’d think the summer is my JAM! It used to be, life is different now. Balancing the adult with my want for my inner kid to be the one steering the ship, creating, adventuring, being free from judgment and resentment. I have a longing to still create a career in music, it’s been my first love for all these years. I have a mature heart and I have a unique perspective filled with Love, Loss, grief, and finding myself in this world. I’d love to put it into the music. Any producers out there want to connect?! I really want to grow and find independence. I want to find love again and being in love with my partner and life. I love being in love. Truly. Anyone looking for a serious love and chill man on this earth I’m looking for you! ❤️‍🔥

mum said I served someone she knows at work and next time they saw mum they went “I mean your daughter is neurodivergent right ?” So that’s something to think about. Every day is another violent hit that I should get a diagnosis.

Hate when friends and family go to an alterations place for simple things like taking their pants up without asking me to do it first and then tell me how they paid a shit load of money and now their pants are fucked up. Like bbg I would have done that for you for free and in a way that was reversible. Christ.

as I walk up to the gym I’m thinking about choosing-choice. It’s brining a new appreciation to this routine I’ve held for the past 8/9 years. One where I’ve actively chosen this outlet. And it’s like a friend. Our relationship always evolving. …maybe our habits are like our friends that we bring with us along the way.

i’m a barista with big dreams, but it feels so hard to find time to work on things or go to a studio that i trust. when i do have time, i have little to no energy. i know this kind of job is easy to burnout from, but i do love making coffees and connecting with people in that way. i’ve been in the service industry since i was 17 and im not sure how to pursue what i know i have in me. maybe it’s fear. maybe it’s sadness. maybe it’s hope. maybe it’s a combination of it all. idk, i’m just stressed all the time about this sort of thing and needed to get that out of my system!

People who thinks this is for attention are the people who write this stuff for attention. Is it possible that people can only see themselves as they assume others intentions because it would be what they would do?
