I’m pretty excited about finally getting on the books for a couple of new tattoos. I had experienced some level of discrimination regarding my tats in a controlling past relationship so it’ll be nice to start reclaiming my body. That was literally the point of all this to begin with — so here’s to old new beginnings 😂❤️

Rocking my Piston Ready tank and celebrating not being terminally ill. Went through a month long leukemia scare. Long story short I’m fine but it really shook me. Of course the one person I saw while isolated gave me Covid. I’m not upset with them because it’s just everywhere right now. Covid is finally long gone too so I’m in better health and looking forward

I’ve been working a new job and trying to get over this grieving. Not sure when it will end but hopefully it’ll at least get easier soon. The new job is great, I work with awesome people. I’m fully remote which I prefer but still get a lot of FaceTime in through video meetings.

Reading up on this new variant as well. I just wish...

@rose, glad to hear the new job ticked all those boxes, and I hope it still does.  As to grieving... I hope it's easing.  I hope that you can move quickly past the phase where thoughts of your friend instantly invoke her untimely passing, and instead you get to linger - at least sometimes - on all the good stuff without that summoning the pain.  God I miss some folk.  but I'm so glad I'm there.  That I can remember their smiles, their saying, just their ways, purely.  I wish that for you and for Kate.

You are all such awesome folk and I’m glad I can come here to hide on occasion. SG land is far better than RL. ❤️

I'm a little late to the game but wanted to drop a note here regarding SG and how impressed I've been with the progression over the past 20 years, who I was then, how I ended up here, what's next etc...

When I first found out about SG I was a 19 year old goth girl working as a barista in Portland, Oregon. Initially from...

And, oh yeah: you've always been beautiful.  If not to everyone, certainly to many.  To the lucky ones - the rest I just feel bad for.

@fullfeeling it was a lot to live through but I’d do it again. I hope the otter girls are having positive experiences too. ❤️

I went to Fathom Hair Studio today and left with these fun Halloween colors. Chivahn also did my hair for my last set. I was caught up in despair and forgot to mention her. If you’re in the Seattle area you should check her out. If you’re not in the area and looking for fun masks, check out her website here: https://fathomfortuna.com/

Shortly before shooting my anniversary set one of my best friends passed away. In addition to her many great traits and talents: hair cutting, yo-yo master, benevolence, bird dancing (she was a tall bird) -- she was also a huge fan of Suicide Girls. She was excited for this shoot and for that reason I am honoring her on my blog. Kate is loved and
