It was an incredibly warm and affirming afternoon with a lot of really wonderful people today at @blackcowcoffeeco! Big thanks to @hrcgreaterny and all of the community sponsors. An extra special shout out to my wonderful friend and community builder @christinapic of @hvqueercollective who wrangled this whole thing!

We saw inspiring speakers and performers, and special guest @dominiquet.a.r.jackson was an absolute delight. Inspiring doesn’t even begin to cover it.

I’m so grateful to be able to celebrate my first National Coming Out Day as a fully out lesbian alongside my friends and fellow members of the LGBTQIA+ community. 🧡🤍🩷

Make sure you have a plan to vote on 11/3! 🗳️

Omg besties, I’m really really sad about boba. Here’s a guide of things you can do this weekend that might cheer you up though…There is art, food, volunteer opportunities, and history…even HAUNTED history. So many things in and around Peekskill NY! I hope you enjoy!

The song of the week is “o, relentless death” by @polishjohnmusic to help us usher in spooky season 👻✨🤘

Hey bestie, it’s that stupid loser @repmikelawler ‘s birthday. I figured a good way to celebrate would be if we could rally behind causes that help our area withstand his bullshit. Here’s some places worth following, volunteering for and donating to, in honor of how much Mike Lawler sucks:

Check out @battlegroundnewyorkaction @westchestermutualaid @hvqueercollective and @chhop_peekskill
And ugh…support your local haunted doll by supporting me through the links in my bio 👻🫶
Tag your favorite organizations helping ny17 survive Lawler in the comments.

The song is silicate by @tomgravelymusic of @dumbechoband because the line “claim to be pious but you’re just a liar like them” very much fits Mike Lawler’s dumb face.

🍁cozy coasters🍁

as the fall and school seasons starts, i wanted to bring something special to the paint and sips as i start again!

introducing to the villa; wooden coasters!!!
some of the coasters will be blank, while others will be personally wood-burned by myself! bring a rustic feel to your home with your own wooden coasters!

to celebrate the autumn months and all it’s beauty, i want to manifest fall in all its glory, from sunflower fields to pumpkin stacks, even to apple trees filled with the most gorgeous bunch of apples.

come join me Thursday September 24th from 5-10pm at @thebetty_bar and create a new home for all your favorite drinks, and maybe find a new favorite drink along the way 🥃🍁

Hey besties! Did you hear there is a JSB screening tomorrow? See you there! And maybe see you at a bunch of other events, because there is everything from forest bathing to bull riding! We’ve got crafts,art, free food, trivia and volunteer options! And Oreo!!! Our cat of the week

What are you most excited about? Let me know it the comments!

Oh yeah! And the song of the week is perfect for all you lynch fans… “Lady in the Radiator” by @zacvanacoro check it out all the places you listen to music…all at once…several times…over and over. Support local artists

Also happy birthday to several besties this week! You know who you are, I feel like me writing that here is the equivalent of a bunch of people singing to you at Applebees but feel free to announce yourselves in the comments. Love you all!
