I’d love to get rid of social media but then how would I send my annual DM to the Indigo Girls begging for a Swamp Ophelia reissue
May I have your attention: Cassandra would like to show you her grey dino
Turned 49 and found a hawk in the birdbath. That has to be a good omen.
I watched eight Spider-Man movies this weekend instead of cleaning out a closet.
The Kars 4 Kids jingle continues to shorten my lifespan
Fucked that there are a million songs about love but only one about baking me a cake as fast as you can
Just used the words “menstrual centipede” in a voice memo to the bestie in case anyone was hankerin’ for a HRT update.
Just finished 10 months of weekly sessions unpacking an eating disorder I’ve had since I was a child. I’m proud of myself, though a bit unmoored and angry about more things than I realized. So, the work continues. If you are in need of similar supports, Looking Glass BC has resources available 🫶
The volume of warmfuzzies I’m getting with the Canucks this off-season is ✨enchanting✨

In case multicoloured corgi toe-beans are of interest to you
Thank you to @miss604.com for making me aware of Breka’s butterscotch, chocolate and ketchup chip cookie. It was not exactly for me, but as a lover of (nearly?) all things sweet and salty, these are the bakery tips I need. The more irrational the flavour, the better.

I’m on so many new meds and supplements and tinctures and potions that I’m throwing everything in a bag so my non-perimenopausal colleague can build me a med schedge this week. Shout out to a real one.
It’s been 20 years since I’ve published my first collection. A poem share at this point is like a good friend giving me a lil pep talk to get to my second 🫶
Annie who lives here@stellarine.bsky.social · 5mo agoHappy #smallpoemsunday - here's Fear of Bare Lightbulbs by Amanda Lamarche in her collection The Clichéist
My family got clotheslined by stress this week, but this lil prawn worked diligently to lower everyone’s heart rate with borks, snuggles and therapeutic mlems. Dogs! 🍤 #dogsky
I have no idea if the Canucks being run by ex-Canucks is good or bad, but I’m certainly way more excited about the coming season than I was two weeks ago.
