Goodbye petco. Thank you for training me to become a damn good dog groomer. But, never again will I work for you or any company who cares so little for the wellbeing of their employees and animals in their care. Onwards to a company who genuinely seems to care about both.

I did a thing today that I haven't done in at least 2 yrs and I will not let that much time pass again. My soul needed this. Plus, I got to spend IRL time with a really good friend I haven't seen in nearly as long.

THIS IS WHAT IS CALLED FOR UNDER FASCISM — BRAVERY Before the attacks & the hot takes start, a few facts: Major Jason Watson is a graduate of the US Air Force Academy, a career logistics officer, a NATO officer, and a decorated veteran who volunteered for a 365-day tour in Afghanistan… 🧵

@patagonia.com has come to a cross roads. The Alphabet Mafia - with the inspiration of #PattieGonia - will continue to take up space and thrive on this planet. Will they join us? Or will they turn to dust. Corporations are no longer in control. They just haven't accepted that. Yet.

After the humanity revolution we are experiencing "wins" - when we can breathe a little easier, start rebuilding our identity, healing traumas, and not settling for anything less than equitable equality - do we reclaim USA? Or do we vote on a new country name? Im stoned. This may not make sense.

Guess what I got to mark off my grooming bucket list?? A CORGI BUTT HEART!!!! Is it pawfect? Heck no. But I freaking did it and I am so grateful for pet parents that allow me to try new things, even at the risk of ducking things up. #FindingBoops #BoopTheSnoot #DogGroomer #FindYourJoy #CorgiButt

It was a boopiful (beautiful) day today in the beautiful Pacific Northwest. Lots of booping on our family adventure today was had. Yes....I can now double boop and idgaf what ppl think. Life is good. So booping good. #FindingBoops #BoopTheSnoot #DogGroomer #FindYourJoy #BoopifulDay

This pink pup was not impressed with my booping abilities. Or maybe my need for boops. Is there a pink pup club? Their human wanted a pink easter egg and now I want cotton candy... Also, ngl, but they slay. As their stylist, I am totally not biased....😎🙃 #FindingBoops #BoopTheSnoot #DogGroomer

Booping my daughter's cat's snoot bc my pies! Just half kidding. I have to share with my human family....bc it's Pi(e) day and we take that sh!t seriously around here....lol. #FindingBoops #BoopTheSnoot #PiDay #PieDay #FindYourJoy

This sweet pup is giving.....vibes. Good ones. Positive ones. Ones that say eff you to the day behind us and bring it on to the day ahead of us. Or maybe my finger smelled good... #FindingBoops #BoopTheSnoot #DogGroomer #Vibes

This serene view greeted me this morning and I didn’t realize just how much I needed to experience something so calm today. The energy in this world is so damn heavy and dark, it's hard to find moments of beauty. But, in order to keep fighting, keep resisting - we have to.

My first attempt at a BBL!!! On a coworkers dog who didn't care that it was symmetrical before just one more cut and then I gave him botched butt implants. But holy sh!t. I did it! Only been a pet stylist for 4 months. So dang proud of myself. Next up: corgi heart butt. #WhatBroughtMeJoyToday

Today's boops. Including some outtakes. Because today feels heavy. Animals are always there for us. Unconditionally. There's a population of humans that should take a page out of their book. #FindingBoops #BoopTheSnoot #DogGrooming #Dogs

This is Bentley. After his bath and blow dry, he decided he needed to lay down and take a nap the moment I put him on my table. Bentley is me. Also, he was so cute I couldn't stop booping his snoot.

Sh!+ is effing heavy right now. For a few hours today, while on a family adventure, I looked like an idiot booping some airplane snoots with my freshly healed tattoo....but the silliness recharged my fire to keep resisting. #FindingBoops #MuseumOfFlight #FDT

I've been paralyzed with feeling like im doing nothing during this revolution, that im not doing my part. That I'm failing as an American. Until today. The melted water wannabe gangsters have finally arrived in my hometown, OR. I've changed my driving patterns to go through more vulnerable areas.

Today, I took some screenshots of a few different sightings, sent them to my inner circle, and the ones that were able, hopped in their cars to go halt their kidnapping attempts. They sent me videos. We celebrated when the duckers left. We felt like a team. It was cathartic. Duck those duckers.

I keep seeing these words shared over and over and it makes me feel worse and worse because I KNOW AMERICA IS DYING and under attack. I am not underreacting. I am overwhelmed and DONT KNOW WHAT TO DO. I'm constantly looking for not zees and 🧊 so I can HELP.

I understand I need to do things outside of my comfort zone bc I am white and privileged. And I want to. But other than protest, call reps, vote, connect with my community, I don’t know what to do. I am not a bad American. I just need guidance on things I can do to beat fascism.

Earlier today, I got irritated at people lighting off fireworks. How dare they! America is dying. And then I realized, that I'm grieving. In mourning. And everyone hurts in their own way. It's quieter around here tonight. But at least we still have the freedom to choose not to do something. For now.

We participated in our hometown sidewalk protest on the main road that borders one of our bigger Hispanic neighborhoods and the amount of Hispanic people driving by that were crying, gutted me. My assignment this week is to see when immigration hearings are at our courthouse and show up.

Why does McDonalds charge for ice water substitute? Like, im already paying for a large meal, just swap the soda for water. Taco Bell, Burger King, and Wendy's are happy to give me ice water. I know this is first world problems but this has been bugging me. #McDonalds

I have a secret. Don't tell anyone. Pinky promise! Ok, so, sometimes when I start a conversation and then abruptly end it, its not bc I, in fact, forgot what I was saying, but that I just dont have the energy to go down whatever tunnel that statement was gonna start. And THEN I forget.

I FINALLY WON 1 ROUND WITHOUT USING A JOKER!!!!! Only took me 643 tries...in 27 days...yeah...I'm disassociating hard. Back to the Rubiks Cube! Which is proving a tad more difficult. Hence the spider solitare break. #SomeonesGottaBringTheHyperfocusToTheRevolution
