having a screenshot folder

A desktop folder that is set as the new default destination for screenshots. Idk about universality; for me, I screenshot 1k/day for such a broad variety of purposes it feels like a top ten function of my computer. As a bonus, every now and then (manic) you can delete everything in the folder as a treat.

Replacing “but” with “and”

For several years I’ve used a linguistic speed bump: finding phrasing that reframes ‘no, but’ as ‘yes, and.’ While it’s effortless more often than I’d think, the moments of friction are the valuable ones.

Sweatshirt & Shorts Season

This outfit is the truest I ever feel to myself

Helping turtles cross the road

Taking surface streets rather than the highway. Developing terminator eyes for shell shapes on the roadside. Fast u-turns on two lane highways. Flashers on, cars whizzing by, the alien feeling of being a human in a place for meant for cars. How the turtles aren’t just not cars, they’re turtles. Being filled with an enormous love and sadness. I moved eight turtles across the road this year!
