big changes

I’ve been wanting to redesign things for a while. So much of my life has changed so quickly and just about every space has been refreshed and reorganized, and I feel like this blog deserves that care too. 

Purple has been a very favorite color over these last few years, but lately I’ve been decorating my space with a lot of orange. Those are also whiskey vs cerby colors. I wanted to update this space to reflect that. 

My incredibly talented friend Wendy took some pictures of someone that vaguely resembles me, and I would love to have those be the focal point of this site for the next chapter. Please check out more of her work at her site

Partly, since cancelling my Spotify, and switching to CDs and radio, I’ve been mourning the loss of curating playlists for each blog, because that’s not something I do often anymore. I plan to link radio sets I’ve been enjoying and have been considering becoming a monthly donor to the local radio with the money I used to spend on subscriptions aka bombings and ai military drones (source). I am excited to figure out how to work this newfound passion into my site as it continues to grow and evolve as I do. 

Evidently, I have loved moths for many years and really connected to the metamorphosis symbolism. I have been expressing that through collages lately. I created this collage around an eyeball, wearing an old set of my lashes. It feels symbolic in the sense of being finished performing girlhood in a phase of my life where that was the fun, but I don’t necessarily love doing anymore. Don’t get me wrong, I loved getting dolled up every night and shaking ass on some pianos, but I love my nice slow life now. 

I’m so fulfilled by engaging with my community through my work, and I love making pretty little drinks. I have wonderful friends who love going on walks. I spend so much of my free time doing puzzles, where I have a resting smile on my face, because it is so peaceful and cozy. I enjoy being close to my family and had a great time at grandma birthday weekend at the ranch. We ate so good and I read so much one piece and cerby got invited back! I feel so redeemed for the whiskey and ginger incident. He totally won them over. 

Cerby has been such a great addition to the family. He makes for the perfect buddy and is often possessed by whiskey and wiggling in our backyard (!!!). Life is truly a little bit beautiful right now. Maybe I’m only saying that because I spent the morning at a market with my best friend, buying old things and just yapping my ass off. And it’s 80 degrees out, and absolutely delightful. 

I bought my dream car, after my crap car kept dying, and moved into the coziest house imaginable with big windows covered in cerby nose smudges. With kind roommates who stop and pet cerby to say hi and bye. Sometimes life feels like it’s going to be okay. And also doom.

I guess this is 27, I never imagined I'd get here but sometimes I'm real glad I did:)

Love y'all

Ken and Cerb
