She/her. I’m all about being a human and treating others as such. Tolerance is key. I’m also a total nut with a weird sense of humor. When i’m not laughing at myself, I love to read, love music, art, write poetry, haiku and play with my camera.

Embroidery on an old quilt piece. “Come the wild weather, come, sleet, or come snow, we will stand by each other, however it blow. -Henry Wadsworth Longfellow.
The world is in a mess and there is much to be done. Let’s stand by each other, however it blow.

I have always been in the front row starting in preschool. I has very short, it continued through my life. I used to hate it until my Grandpa told me life is much more fun in the first row, you never miss a thing.
“That often happens in war” as always he enthralls us with his mastery of stupidity.

A blast from the past, neon pinks, greens, oranges, yellows, purples, teals all swirled together in that psychedelic way the 60’s perfected.
1960’s psychedelic poster found in a vintage shop Jazzy and I wandered into.

Four young Barn Swallows sitting on a cattail. Their beaks are wide open.
I'm told today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #ShoutItOut so felt like a good time share this one. #birds
Photo of a blue-green lichen growing on a birch tree. The lichen is in sort of an octopus shaped mound, with frilly edges instead of tentacles. It’s covered in numerous disc shaped apothecia which have blue-grey edges and dark brown centres.

An acrylic painting of super-deformed robin. A small bird, with orange face and belly, greyish-brown back and wings. Its underbelly and top of the head are grey. More or less. It's looking at something with pleading eyes. Because it wants more SEEDS.

Stylish young women posing in the streets of London with her dog in the 60’s. Black and white photo.
Me again with yet another post no one will see. Jazzy and I back in the day, looking quite stylish on the streets of London. We’ve both changed a lot since the old days.

Today I take back me, no more scared little girl, no more victim. I’m a badass black belt in 3 martial arts and the equivalent of one in kick-boxing. No one can hurt me, he’s out of prison and can’t touch me. I’m strong, fit and a force to be reckoned with. 🌪️💨🔥🤺🥷🥋🧞♀️🐉🧚♀️
Gorgeous legs in fishnet tights, kicking up with a crown on one black high heel.

The government set aside a fund giving the Atomic Vets and the workers who had to seal Enewetak decades later 75K each. They didn’t notify anyone it was available. I happened upon the article and the forms to fill out 2 weeks after the deadline.
One of my favs…
Sorry, that was rude. I’m in a very bad mood today and I’ve been drinking.
Totally destroys the movie “Holes” for me.
Honor to my Dad, one of the many Atomic Veterans who sat on Enewetak Atoll, unprotected, while they tested the hydrogen bomb and other thermonuclear weapons. They evacuated the people living on the atolls “for the good of mankind and to end all wars,” ending nothing, starting everything.
honor to those who serve (d) this nation for the benefit of all nations together. (ex: defeat fascism) honor to my father. (yes, dad, I’m still waiting for the generals to say ‘no’) honor to @jojofromjerz.bsky.social and honor to @houseofbast777.bsky.social
Ah, but ladies do indeed do those things and totally kick ass!! I remember the first time a guy said, “oh hell” when he saw me in the ring ready to kick-box. I just smiled, his friends started teasing him, he said, “what? girl’s got some serious moves” and they all busted up.
Good night Richard. It’s been a difficult day, thanks for the fun fact to distract me.
Good night everyone

When my abuser attacked me, I grabbed a knife. He easily got it away from me then stabbed me with it 4 times. After a long and painful recovery, I knew I needed to be able to defend myself without a weapon that could be used against me. I was so skittish, I started in a tae kwon do kids class😂😂😂
