Long overdue update + new website!

This is one of those posts I frequently think about writing… and then move to the bottom of my priority list. The post? An update of exciting things to guide folks to my current projects and new website. The reason for moving it down the priority list? Because there’ve been so many damn amazing things […]

clarity, boundaries, & saying “fuck yea” to whatever’s next

My hours got cut at work. And I am amped. I’ve bounced back and forth between I CLEARLY MUST HAVE A SUCCESSFUL FREELANCE CAREER DOING WHAT I LOVE. and Realistically, having the structure of a normal desk job is good for me.

making new decisions, dialing it down, and stubborn nipples

So. I got my breast implants out almost a year ago now, and living with tiny natural boobies is a rather new experience for me. Part of this experience is me being able to, like, feel things. With my nipple region. Praise baby Jesus. Another part of this is that I’ve tried 30 different bras […]
