Happy Juneteenth. Here’s my text summary: It’s the “ending” day of slavery in the US … after the Civil War and Emancipation Proclamation, Texas ? still didn’t free slaves until June 19 a couple years later so that’s when it’s celebrated. More and more companies are recognizing the day as a way to celebrate Black…
During this weird Covid time, I’m more of a bandana mask wearer than a mask-mask wearer. But I just received this email and had to share—and buy a mask (they have one with stars on it, after all). Covid + prison reform all in one I’m a longtime supporter of Defy Ventures and believe deeply…
Cases are going up here in Austin, possibly because of reopening, or mass gatherings like protests, but from a pure numbers standpoint are nowhere near other states’ levels—our highest daily case number is 161 (check the data out here). I’m continuing to be cautious but practical. I also spent the last 10 days on a…
“You look happy,” said one of my best friends. You know what? Despite feeling like everything is ‘wrong’ and wild and unsatisfying in my life, I am.
Just a pure and simple gratitude list, because that’s what we all need right now. Pink Salt canned rosé in so many ways… a Friday afternoon, a river float, a possibility… First Guadalupe River float of the summer. Perfect weather, cold river, cannypack, what a day! My body is inherently good and powerful and for…
With a public blog, I feel pressure to share something about the racism and subsequent protests going on in our world right now, rather than simply sharing links that might make your individual life better.

It’s a weird, weird world we live in right now. With racism and censorship overshadowing government control surrounding Covid, it can be overwhelming to know where to focus my attention, and what to write about. What privilege I enjoy; what discrimination I face all the same. So today, like every Friday, we’ll stick to a…
ELEVEN WEEKS OF SHELTER IN PLACE. Austin opened up last weekend for bars and increased restaurant capacities, and also it’s an average of 1,000 degrees here so looks like locally we’re getting out there just a smidge more. I hung out with people, outside, over the weekend. We’ll see what happens. Week 10. Week 9. Week 8. Week…
Y’all the Coronavirus is a marathon. I want to GO. I want to travel, I want to go. on. dates. (I do NOT like the act of dates), I want to go to patios, I want to go the grocery store without worrying about decontamination protocol, I want to gtfo. But, I want to be…
Imma be honest, I wanted to draw this one but I can’t fully grasp its translation to my life, specifically. Maybe one of y’all can, though? Also this isn’t even fire logs pose. And fire logs’ only jobs are to burn. I DON’T GET IT AND I HAVE NO IDEA WHY I PUBLISHED THIS. Help.
