The Black Stag

december and january were created to test how much I can handle back to back before I'm sent into an absolute spiral

I need to eat AGAIN???? EVERYDAY??????? MULTIPLE TIMES???!?!?!????

OK Kids, decency and democracy in the U.S. took a big hit yesterday.

* Do what you need to do to take care of yourself for the next few days...

Go listen to music that makes you feel good, dance around your bedroom, eat a plate of brownies, roll into a ball and rock back and forth in the closet, climb to the top of a tree and scream incoherently.

The election is over, but the fight is not.

Next week, we get back up, and we get back to the work of making the world a better place, regardless of the outcome.

Tell the people in your life that you love them. Give someone a big hug.

Meanwhile, I'll keep sending some cool birds and other animals your way.

Love you all, xoxo
