Posted on Thu, 03 Jul 2025

This hit me hard—raw, electric, and deeply human.

The desperate need to keep what matters, the ache of waiting in kept—you’ve captured that tension between hope and hurt so powerfully. “Pulling down the sun” and “electric zings” linger...

This made my throat tighten

Posted on Sat, 21 Jun 2025

This made my throat tighten in the best way. It’s clumsy, raw, and real - the way love often is between parents and kids. The father’s awkward efforts, the son’s quiet watching… it all builds to that one line: “There is no better activity...

Posted on Fri, 20 Jun 2025

Oh, what longing! This aches in that quiet, familiar way - the kind of love that never fully leaves, even when you do. Thank you for putting this into words. It’s tender, bittersweet, and so very human.

Posted on Fri, 20 Jun 2025

This speaks to so much I’ve been feeling but haven’t put into words yet. I do have a smartphone - mostly because, as a parent to several kiddos, it feels almost impossible not to. School messages, doctor’s appointments, online grocery...

Posted on Fri, 20 Jun 2025

This was honestly such a joy to read - funny, painfully relatable, and full of those sneaky sparks of insight that creep in just when the brain insists it’s a useless lump.

You’ve captured that mush-and-brick brain state perfectly (I...

Posted on Tue, 17 Jun 2025

There’s such quiet beauty in this. It reads like composted memory—rich, layered, and full of life still stirring underneath. A lovely meditation on change, letting go, and how creation takes new forms.

Fascinating—both the complexity of enzymes and the awe you capture here. There’s something humbling about how intricately life is put together. The image adds to that sense of wonder too.

Beautifully explained.

Posted on Thu, 19 Jun 2025

What a surreal and lovely sight that must’ve been.

The image of a fox and Siamese in a “vulpine tarantella” is going to stay with me. Life really does surprise us sometimes—thank you for capturing the magic here.
