Protect Their Paws: An Exploration of Ethics in Dog Breeding
Happy Adopt a Shelter Dog Month! My senior year of high school for a final Capstone project I had the amazing opportunity of deep diving into the ethics (or non-ethics) of dog breeding, a topic I am highly passionate about (if you know me, you know). One of the products of that exploration was this…

Poem: October Bones
I wrote this poem two years ago (and I happened to have a broken hand when I wrote it, but ironically that is not what inspired it). It was originally titled “Autumn Tree Anatomy,” but I think I like “October Bones” better. I really don’t know for sure what it’s about but I think it…

We Made the Right Person Famous: Growing up with Tate McRae
I first met Tate in 2018, when I was 12 years old. I was not feeling too well, so I found myself laying on the couch mindlessly scrolling through YouTube videos on my laptop. I have always had a profound fascination with songwriting, so I clicked on a video that caught my attention titled “How…

Taylor Swift does NOT think “woe is me.” And certainly neither do I!!!!
I just had a thought that I really needed to type out. I’ve been in this high state of emotional conflict lately where I feel trapped between showing who I am and owning it, and shying away from it out of fear of how I could be perceived. Specifically regarding EDS. EDS has affected me…

First Poetry Post!
Posting poetry is scary. But it is also something I have always dreamt of sharing. Poetry is art. The words are the paint, the pen is my brush, and this section of my blog will serve as the gallery. I hope you enjoy :). This first poem is about the contradictory expectations placed on children…
