I intend on cosplaying Kuzco this summer, and I innocently googled “llama costume” and I feel like a whole new world has opened up before me. What a time to be alive.
Have you ever cried bc of a llama in a lobster costume bc i have and i dont want to be alone in this

Me, waking you up at two am: hey, do you ever think about how we live in a culture of rejecting our local “wild places” in favor of fetishizing and romanticizing the distant and different?
There’s this overwhelming rhetoric we’re fed that the only nature worth protecting is Grand and Huge and most of all Somewhere Else.
Nobody thinks about the wetland behind their local Walmart that is in Desperate need of protection, or the little remnant prairie in a cemetery, because they’re too focused on the abstract and often flawed concept of “wilderness” somewhere else.
There is nothing wrong with wanting to travel to see something new and unique, but the way I hear people talk about our own backyard, the way the last remnants of what we have here are ignored or outright rejected, breaks my heart.
My professor has spent his entire career in the Midwest trying to protect wetlands from housing developments and new superstores, but he almsot always loses, not just because the developers have money, but the community doesn’t care enough to do anything about it.
Afterall, what’s a few old oak and birch trees in a little puddle of a swamp compared to miles of marsh in Scandinavia? What’s a grassy hill to a distant mountain range?
Well, to the duck, to the heron, to the bluebird, and to precious few people, I’d say it’s Everything.
I love to travel myself, and I know people probably don’t know that when they say “why is our wildlife/plant life etc. so lame” that they’re contributing to an attitude of rejecting what unique beauty we do have,
But
I hope one day people can see the wonder nearby and fight to protect it. I hope there’s something left to protect.
Anyway…..where do u keep your cups I want some water.
🧠🦋so happy to share one of my FAVE collaborations ever 👛🐬 @_viviveronica_ wrote a casual manifesto that I had the pleasure of illustrating for @bitchmedia and I’m so proud of us 🌸💎 for this one we tried to come up with a visual language that would combine everyday symbols of her and her friends/fam/loves and place them in the web of the fractal multiverse 🌷💦 check out the in print version in the Ghosts issue of bitch magazine 💖💙

As long as I remember her, she will never die.
We Are All Elders – written by Vivi Veronica, illustrated by Syan Rose
Trans women survive, love, & exist because of the knowledge we pass down. She’s my sister, she’s dead & alive. She’s my auntie. My mother. Me.
She taught me how to move my face, how to change everything with makeup, how to move my body in motions that felt so natural. Even my eyes move differently because of her. She taught me that
fear & courage often look the same. How sitting with uncertainty is necessary even if it’s painful.
I feel her in every part of my body – even the parts I hate – because I know her pain & she knows mine.
All the trans-feminine bodies & spirits I’ve known continue to teach me. Not all of my sisters are still alive, but their wisdom impacts the footsteps of those still here. I feel our energies molding & shaping to change with each other.
This web of consciousness is so vast. I feel the ripples of the universe fall down like rain upon me, & as the rain touches me, my body becomes the rain & washes me away into the vastness of the web. I feel your spirits as these ripples & I know you are feeling me too. Together across the dimensions we unite. We are all one, we are all each other, & we are all the wisdom of our sisters, our elders, our selves. One day I decided my body was not a tragedy.
On that day I knew I would live forever.
We dream of the summertime during winter. We yearn for the winter during summer.
What fatal flaw has God injected the human psyche with? Why must we always strive for the things furthest away from us?
are you okay 😦
My feet are cold as FUCK dude

“The blazer comes from my own collection Just Weird Clothing. The skirt and shoes are from TopShop. My style is inspired by women in the 90’s and 2000’s. If you go back and look at TV shows, movies, and music Videos, the women back then could really dress their ass off. I aspire to be your granny fine ass friend! Currently I’m into the fashionable sneaker movement, bulky earrings, and colorful bald heads.”
