Have you ever bought something you already own? When I found this shirt at @arcthrift (it used to be a full T-shirt but I chopped it up), I was so excited because it’s from The Police tour I went to back in 2007, and the exact shirt I used to have! I snatched it up without a second thought. Well about a month later I realized I still have the shirt I bought at the concert. The exact same shirt 🙈😂 The good(?) news is, my original shirt is too small for me now so it’s waiting to be a part of the T-shirt quilt I’m eventually going to make but still....kind of embarrassing to buy a T-shirt I already have lol. Has this happened to you? Please tell me so I don’t feel so bad about myself!

I’ve always been a sucker for tiny things so I bought this TINY pot a while back even though I didn’t have anything to go in it. Well today I removed a snake plant baby from its momma and I’ve truly never seen anything cuter 😭 Anyone else obsessed with tiny things? Tbh I blame Polly Pockets 🤷🏼‍♀️

Ps if you’re in the Denver area, @echtersgardencenter is lovely and has GREAT procedures in place for Covid-19. I have gone several times and have always felt super safe and masks are required. 🙌🏻

It’s so hard to get photos of this little cutie

It’s so hard to get photos of this little cutie because he is ALWAYS RUNNING 🏃 Because of that, I’m calling him Ricky Bobby - if you’re not first, you’re last! 🏎😂

Say hello to our newest foster pup! Our time with him will be short and sweet (just two nights), but so far he’s a delight. If you’re in the Denver area you can sign up to adopt him via @coloradopuppyrescue. All the details for adoption are on their website 🖤

🎶The special love I have for you, my baby blue

I don’t really know how to come back to this spa

I don’t really know how to come back to this space because truly, I can’t think of anything right now except BLM (and that’s not a bad thing). I’ve been doing a lot but haven’t been too vocal here and for that I apologize.
Black Lives Matter and Black WOMXN'S Lives Matter. These issues are so so complex and even in the current movement, womxn, nonbinary and/or trans people seem to get forgotten. Please don't let them be forgotten.

It has been 94 days since Breonna Taylor was murdered. A law was made in her name yet her killers have STILL have not been arrested.
Riah Milton and Dominique "Rem'mie" Fells, two Black trans women were killed recently.
Tony McDade, a Black trans man was killed by Tallahassee police two days after George Floyd.
We have to be just as angry and vocal for them as we are for George Floyd.

We MUST demand justice for Breonna Taylor! Please

We MUST demand justice for Breonna Taylor! Please don’t let her awful death get lost in the conversation. Swipe to learn more if you aren’t familiar with her tragic story 😞 NO ARRESTS HAVE BEEN MADE! She would have been 27 tomorrow. Click the link in my bio for ways you can support her family and fight for justice. Art by @arielsinhaha #SayHerName #BirthdayForBreonna

BLACK LIVES MATTER (don’t forget to remove the blacklivesmatter hashtag from your post)
Posting a black square isn’t enough so what are you going to DO today to further the movement? Seriously, leave a comment and tell me.
Here’s what is on my agenda:
-Continue reading Janet Mock’s book, Redefining Realness
-Repost oped from @sevi.ware that I haven’t shared yet
-share other posts from Black people in my stories
-send resources to a couple of people who asked for them
-call my reps condemning the militarization of police (I HATE making calls but the @5calls app makes it pretty easy!) Click the link in my bio if you need some resources as a starting point (I did not make the doc but there’s some great stuff).

With the deaths of George Floyd, Breyona Taylor, and Ahmaud Arbery in the news, I’ve seen lots of white folks say “I don’t understand.” And honestly….I’ve had enough of that. If you are a grown adult, and your response to these DEVASTATING losses is “I don’t understand” then it’s time for you to do the work to understand.
Please, please stop expecting Black people to do the work for you. There are MANY resources out there to help you understand, but today I’m giving you the short version. It’s white supremacy. It’s white privilege. That is why you don’t understand. Because if you are white this COULD NOT happen to you. Not like this. You don’t understand because you won’t have to teach your child how to de-escalate a police situation and MAYBE avoid an unnecessary death. You don’t understand because you can walk freely in your neighborhood and no one looks twice at you.
STOP saying you don’t understand because now you see it, so it’s time to get to work. #BlackLivesMatter #justiceforahmaudarbery #georgefloyd #breyonataylor
