Hi, my name is Em!
I'm a nature lover, shelter medicine feller, and hobbyist photographer based in Chicago.
I post about cats, birds, animal welfare, forest floors, horror novels, queer stuff, and things I think are funny. Happy to be on earth with you.

doing my vocal practice while on the elliptical because:
1.) it was a happy accident to find that singing while doing cardio really forces you to use your diaphragm
2.) makes me sound badass to say that i was doing vocal practice while doing cardio at the same time

"We've Noticed You're Blocking Ads" that's because i don't want to see them. the doomsday clock of each of our lives ticks ever closer to midnight with each passing second. you must be the person you wanted to be when you grew up and that guy does not look at ads

Chickadees are a pretty good symbol for community defense; they're rooted in their locality (don't migrate), they indicate resources to migratory birds, they warn of threats ("chickadee-dee-dee-dee") and they dgaf about the cold
Just a little scrabbledy sketch to keep spirits up.
I also learned today that a group of chickadees is called a ‘banditry’ and how cute is that?

I keep thinking “my god the people they’ve killed seem like exceptionally good folks” and I think the lesson there is that they’re not exceptional, but that wonderful people abound and that a baseline distrust in humanity is a shitty conservative trope that privileges power over collective strength
you don't become a martyr because you were a saint, you become a saint because you were martyred
I agree that we can’t make Alex Pretti a Benedictine monk because that’s a trap, but we can talk about the good things we did because people will see and hear them and think “I do those things too”

Every person who doubts the atrocity should witness, so they understand.
There is no need to watch if you read a description of the atrocity, register its moral significance, and commit yourself to speaking out against these horrors.

- Every American needs to witness this atrocity as part of their civil duty — America needs to understand where we are, what our current government is and where we will most likely end up unless We The People act accordingly…
