Headed to Los Angeles. To pay homage to my queen and house sit. And maybe eat too much sushi and make my dreams come true. https://www.instagram.com/p/COV1XTshkX6/?igshid=1rzxumrujqjss
I’m back in my beloved Los Angeles this week. And while it has changed and I have changed, I still love everything it has ever been for me past, present, future. I’m gonna try silver lake trader joes today - wish me luck.

I love the challenge of the perfect order of songs for a mix tape. In a playlist, you don't have the constraints of side 1 or 2. But this allows a honing of emotional expression through the song selects. "Yeah, it feels so classic...."
@rosiepongracz I hope you enjoy it! <3

@LostInAutumnBnd NO Shuffle, no! There is a cadence, a story to be told in the order of the songs! 🤣

@SamBendett Well the last few weeks were Game of Thrones! So I'll take it! 🤣
@SSquire For real! It was some real community learning & coming together. I live for those moments!
I have a lot of conflict about the popularity of my current home. But perhaps I too, am the tip of the spear (as written below), & where I flee to may become the next gentrification. For now, I have my dome, my jackrabbit homestead in Wonder Valley; beyond that, is the unknown. https://twitter.com/90mifromneedles/status/1389760697689538561

I breathe the cool moist Los Angeles air. I remember the dog walks in this city, under purple jacaranda; cracked pavement, smell moments, clip clip clip of nails. The past, memories complete, I cherish today. I would give it all to return for a moment of my fingers in his fur.
Up in the wee dawn hours of this twinkling city on the western crust of this continent. Magic will connect my words to those halfway across the globe midway through their daylight sojourn. #globalnow
Finally reading the Overstory and remembering my own tree stories. First memory, the two story buckeye, who I loved and was heart broken at 5 when it was cut down with no notice. No more shaded bedroom window or spiky shells for my child hands.
I think also to my more recent plantings on my desert acerage: first in were three Jacarandas, to remind me of LA. Then more desert native pines, mesquite and Palo Verdes. Six years have passed since I planted the first ones, and more year on year.
In this neighborhood on last nights dog walk, I spied a giant magnolia (?), it’s canopy covering two turn of the century homes. I wonder it’s story. The palm trees lining many streets climb so high, sway, iconic stuff of dreams and memories.
And as I drive these city streets the Jacarandas tease they purple blooms as we wait for June gloom, which marks another anniversary of stepping off the cliff of Bay Area known, into beloved Los Angeles possibilities, which still pay out despite my move into the desert.
@LadyMenopause @rachelpowers @Katiohead Me this 100% as also from SoCal. Dude and you guys is like totally not gendered.
@TheEmilyDare Be kind to yourself and please hydrate! Tomorrow is a new day.
Feeling a bit at loss about my todo list. It doesn't have that many things on it after today...
Found myself at ground zero and an unplanned trip up and over the pass. Muscle memory carving these roads like it was a week ago. https://www.instagram.com/p/COlR43xh2P0/?igshid=19zsr7pys67q2
Beverly, Western, 6th, past the tar pits, Crescent Heights, San Vicente, Fairfax to Santa Monica, cross Fountain, Sunset Blvd, to Hollywood to Highland north across Cahuenga pass, Barham into the valley. An invocation of power, mining the magic in the memories of these places.

@IAMSimonMo perhaps you have more freedom to be your own boss &/or otherwise you may not be able to find legal, fulfilling, well paid employment.

Doing my weekly food bank volunteer shift and it’s so amazing to learn where we get the food from and the distribution involved. Fascinating from a systems/economic perspective. It’s truly amazing how abundant our food supply is.

Has anyone thought about bringing the moon some Shea butter to help heal it’s cracked surface?
A cool morning in the Mojave. Silence and bird song and the soft snoring of a patient dog. Two sit on the couch reading silently.
Another cool Mojave morning. The silence descends. I breathe in the breeze blowing the curtains through the open door. I think of a card I bought 8? 10? years ago, hidden in my top drawer all that time. A week ago, it found it’s recipient. Things find their place in time.
RT @Pamtheism: @Wordesse Hope it helps!

I am up early with the dawn, the Queen of Bees buzzing in my blooming Palo Verdes. The cool morning, sounds of my desert oasis. Like each bee collecting nectar from each flower, I touch my emotions, mine their possibilities, refining into honeyed words. #blissandemptiness

@SamLoci Pretty much immediately when they launched their inaugural session in 2010. Fwiw, that bs inspired me to get an actual MS in Foresight from the longest running program in the US.
