My favorite spring forage AND favorite medicinal forage is Purple Dead Nettle. I make a tincture for allergies. #hobbyherbalist #medicinalforaging

I crochet things. You should buy the things 😸

It feels like a lifetime ago, the last time I visited Mt St Helens.

My Grandma's Christmas cactus is blooming for the first time in years! I like to think it's her way of letting me know she is proud of us and happy that we have finally completed our family with our beautiful baby. #holidaycactus #plantlady #witchythings

Next year I will be ready to take my baby to his first anime convention and I am SO EXCITED!

Hell yeah bring back those buttons

HOW YOU CAN HELP:
✅ Spend your money at small businesses, especially those owned by underrepresented entrepreneurs
✅ Share this message with your networks—word of mouth is powerful
✅ Stand together in financial solidarity to create real economic change

Tomorrow, February 28, let’s disrupt the status quo by spending ONLY at businesses that uplift our communities.

That means:
🚫 No gas from corporate giants
🚫 No fast food chains
🚫 No big-box retailers (Target, Walmart, Amazon, etc.)

Congress was denied entry to both the U.S. Department of Education and the Treasury, where Musk staffers blocked the doors. Along with its appropriations responsibilities, Congress holds oversight authority over federal agencies. Blocking congressional access to these agencies is illegal.

Thank you! A federal judge blocked U.S. DOGE employees from altering any records of payments at the Treasury Department while she weighs a request by public interest groups for a broader injunction against their activity. Thank you, U.S. District Judge Colleen Kollar-Kotelly’s! 🙏

Nothing quite fills my soul with peace as waking up to snow and watching it fall while sipping a warm drink. That I could share this moment with my baby for the first time, made my world a little warmer and brighter

My cats are torn between "I want pets damnit" and "tiny human is grabby, avoid at all costs" 😂

Good morning! This is your reminder to support your local library! Get your card and see what resources you have access to from programs and events to seed libraries, maker spaces and digital resources. Libraries are more than *just* books. (Although books are very lovely!)

27°F out this morning on the coast of the PNW. A good morning to enjoy hot coffee while my 5 month old plays with their toys.

Friendly reminder that if you buy a book on Kindle, you're only paying for the rights to read, not own. If a book truly gets banned, it will be taken away from digital platforms like Kindle, nook, etc. Consider getting physical copies of banned (or other) books!

READ BANNED BOOKS

And with that, TikTok is down. As predicted, so is lemon8. This next chunk of time on the internet is going to be interesting, if I'm being nice about it.

Zippers. All the damn zippers!

I'm learning to look for the glimmers again

Winter storms are always a challenge as they trigger my migraines. Add a 4 month old to that and oooooh boy my head feels like a brick

The actual days may still be getting shorter, but my days with a 4 month old are getting longer.

👍🏼

You know what makes a pretty good stocking stuffer, if you are looking for that sort of thing? A mug cozy.

My baby human is snoring next to me on my right. My baby cat (12 year old best boy) is snoring on my left. This is my new normal 😅

Made this cute little whale for my 4 month old. I added the yarn coming out of the "spout" to make it easier for his little hands to grab as his fine motor skills develop.

Pattern by FictionFingers on FB and Insta.

Destroy the myth that libraries are no longer relevant. If you use your library, please share. Picture of library aisle filled with books.
