In love with Reno, my Subaru, the Killers, the desert, my partner, and my cat, not necessarily in that order. Tarot reader and mystic witch. I also make art that thrills me, and sometimes only me. Experimentalist by nature. She/They. #genx #nevada 🏳️🌈🌊♐️🪀🍝⭕️
Good thing we’ve decimated the humanities and don’t teach critical thinking anymore. Nobody could have seen this coming. (From the WSJ, 2025-12-05)

Finally someone says what we all know: that our poisoned planet (totally our fault) is making us sick. We have the power to change it, but we don’t. The sickness is in our spirit as well—why aren’t we at least trying to heal the planet? #environment #green #healtheearth #omggopwtf

I nominate Aerosmith’s “Cryin’” for Most #90s Video Ever. #Tattoos, #babydolldresses, #piercings, #bungeejumping, late-adolescent rage. As much as the song annoys me, it’s a total mood. One that I miss. I was a young adult in the 90s, and I have the scars to prove it. 😜

I’m studying Portuguese on #duolingo and things just got super fashy/neocolonial on the language learning app: Duo the Owl is helping #genz learn how to be egregiously condescending and exploitative to prospective business partners in #Brazil - Is #AI writing the exercises? Or has Duo gone MAGA? (1)

When Trump and Marco Rubio cancelled foreign aid, froze funding and began dismantling USAID, those who were cleaning up the Bien Hoa air base had to halt work. 1/

I’m on my way to the Treasury Dept to demand answers. Billionaire-in-Chief Elon Musk has been given illegal access to Americans’ private info, including Social Security numbers.
Zero people voted for Elon to run our government. This is about oversight and transparency.

Approximately 20 members of Elon Musk’s staff have begun working within the Education Department. They have gained access to multiple sensitive internal systems, including a financial aid dataset containing the personal information of millions of students enrolled in the federal student aid program.

This is what my late father would have posted if he were still with us. We’ll keep dancing in the dark, Dad. We’ll keep dancing.

Back in RNO and still mourning. Art witchery to the rescue. Asking for healing, asking for guidance.
My pastor-Dad would have been alternately delighted/horrified by my choice of the Crooked Path as opposed to The Way.
He and I will work it out, in spirit. Love you, Dad 💔🥲
