The ways my dreaming brain handles narrative justification when pain intrudes on my sleep are always so interesting. Frequently horrifying on reflection, but always interesting and certainly vivid.

The audio description showcase was such a good time! My bit went well (first time any section of the filmed show has been seen by the public! aaaa), other people's bits were also good, and the discussion and feedback were interesting across the board 🌟

This is my friend's cat. Its name is Cookie Swirl, and it disappeared in the American section of Charlotte airport on 11/10. We're asking for your help. She doesn't have any other socials, so if you can post it widely to see if anyone knows where it is. It's a little thing, but matters a lot to her.

Every time I see a native bee, or an unfamiliar insect, I try to photograph it (and upload to iNaturalist). Just got a thank you note for contributing to the VT Wild Bee survey and that feels great 🥰🐝
