springtime changes: incall available! bonjour! an update and announcement ~~ coming from a bit of a whirlwind era in which my best laid plans were the laughingstock of the Fates - but ya know, the treasure chest at the end was that i came through it completely scrubbed of delusions of control. all we do in this life is influence. everything hurtles toward us from the future and we adapt.

check the moon when you're looking to book me - illuminated phases i'm doing incall, over the dark of the moon i am free to fly 🌚

*announcing here first! main site & ads will catch up*
~yes, st john's wort agreed to appear here even tho they bloom midsummer~

going to be off social media until 2/21. need the focus for developing a new aspect of my business & leveling up some others.. which means i'll have something delicious 4 u when i get back.

still text me!

well hopefully my dang laptop will decide to let itself charge so i can write you the luscious newsletter you deserve sometime this decade 😭

lots of openings in february, reach on out 💕

painterly style cafe interior with lots of strong warm-toned shapes getting highlighted with bright cool tones. cozy and beautiful effect

thanks to my lovely date this week 🌙

a jumbo mandarin with a hand grasping it firmly but gently, with a scrap of peel next to it suggesting a twin fruit having already been unclothed and consumed

~ still blushing at how sensual of an experience it was to eat one of these jumbo mandarins... like, it gets detailed. going to catch my breath, slow down, & take my time with the next one

When the noise gets loud,
I trust the songs that tend to recognize fear when it puts on a uniform.

🎵 Inner City Blues (Make Me Wanna Holler) — Marvin Gaye

🎵 A Change Is Gonna Come — Sam Cooke

🎵 Baltimore — Nina Simone

History remembers patterns.
Music remembers people.

We’ll keep listening.

feat. my go-to cozy dickies 🥰 and also-not-done nails 😖

it is sooo very time for a hair appt but i liked how the shape turned out... my little glow pony 💖

the first thing i wanted to listen to it was the album Salt by half moon run

in a free trial of quobuz in my search for alternative to spotify. really enjoying the hi res ☺️

watching doctor who for the first time somehow - they have me processing all kinds of emotion i didn't know how to feel until i saw it in their portrayal 😍

if anyone gets this i want to know youuuu! 🥰

i'm the sort of neurodivergent who somehow learned safe embodied connection from horses and British people. like, in that order

why portland? Portland is the punk sweetheart younger sibling, and Seattle is the cool sophisticated successful elder sibling.

a few thoughts on PDX.. lovelyaugust.net/2026/01/04/w...

in fact a large proportion of my personal philosophy was developed whilst staring up into the sky 🌌

hello, world! here trying to be more reachable & i actually love to celebrate our dear Earth's atmosphere 🥰
