Poem by Rose Brik

I’m just going to get a burger:

!!!!!!!! Omg congrats!!!! I’m so happy for you 💜

accurate

coffee shop I went to this morning had some very choice decor. second photo is Colorado, last two are Utah :)

I drove by a GIGANTIC split agate boulder in Utah and it came up so fast I didn’t have a chance to stop but I thought of you!!!

I challenge you to be more tone deaf, holy shit.

instead of being sad about what happened today last year, I am enjoying my private balcony in the Rockies and smoking some weed. I took myself to a hole in the wall Vietnamese place a town over & had some of the most incredible leek soup & talked to some strangers about my trip!

this picture of me is gender affirming. Flat chested they/ she with stupid gay haircut.

illuminating to me how much i want a fat fucking thigh tat. Bare and naked skin which needs something sick on it

I would not do it again with a fully loaded Fit tho. Maybe an empty one :)

I truly could not have lucked out more with weather. The section west of Denver entering the mountains was SO trying… I truly have never had to use 3rd gear in my car in my LIFE but I have now learned how and I am powerfully a mountain driving animal who is no longer afraid of the incline.

my hotel room has a private balcony and I’m cutely sitting on it in my underwear 8)

Survived the hard part of driving thru the Rockies! There are mountain goats in the last photo… small and very very far away. I did see some REALLY up close but it was right after rounding a corner going 75 so I did not get a photo 😭 but it was so cool to see them up close!!

Colorado!!!

Kansas is not flat, that is Bull Shit

I wanna come up and play with clay with u guys so BAD 😭

Dutch Bros in Missouri spotted 👁️ 👁️

let me fuckin tell u :) I am so pleased about this just as I am driving across the whole fuckin country 👏 seeing diesel at almost $6 in some spots.

on paper a 5 to 7 day drive seems reasonable but holy shit, man…’this is So Much

this drive is just gonna take as long as it takes. I had hoped I could do it in under a week, but I don’t think that’s happening. My stamina for the road is severely low, I fear. I may stay a couple nights with my uncle in Utah. Rest up, spend some time with them, pay 0 dollars for lodging…

if you want to hear some truly fascinating men talk, go sit in a Dennys in Illinois! You’ll get to hear their perspectives on “females” and “kids these days”. I didn’t even have to pay for this! Fascinating, genuinely.

day 3 of da drive! destination of the day is Jefferson City, MO.

I am a weak bitch and cannot do more than 8 GPS hours. 💀

Insanely powerful of you!!! The shop update grind

so far so good. Sorry I never got to make it down for dinner. Maybe we can find some good Japanese during FWA!!

I’m celebrating by being flat as fuck

my sweet & powerful workhorse of a car. Can’t wait to do something about the peeling on the hood so it doesn’t look like such a shitbox lol

Struggling w/ inclines & a acceleration but that’s to be expected w/ how heavy she is rn

kisses each individual down feather on their little heads

Orbit I thought I was holding grief. Tonight I see grief is holding me. Not with a vice grip. Not with a fist. More the way gravity holds the earth to the sun-a force without which our planet would lose all warmth, all life. Love has many names. Grief is one, and I am grateful tonight for the way it tethers me not only to pain but to beauty, goodness, connection. Tonight I see grief not as a problem to be solved but as an energy to explore, to move with, to circle what is beloved. There is some comfort even in knowing it will never let me go. It is right that it should hold me, even as I turn and turn. -Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer
