health, a late-year discovery i found by opening a thread on r/nin that was like “who else can i listen to that sounds like nin?”
speaking of: nine inch nails performing the live remix of “closer” with boys noize at the peel it back tour this year. you wish you could’ve seen this live.

five closet acquisitions.
wolf circus bunny necklace. i bought it in january I THINK and i wear it constantly. i actually lost my original when we went to montreal so i had to repurchase it. it’s just a perfect necklace.
vintage panhandle slim embroidered button-up shirt. gorgeous embroidery with pearl snap buttons. i had my eye on this for months on depop before i pulled the trigger. she is so beautiful in person.
vintage red cowboy boots. bought them at an antique mall and i strongly believe that before i bought them they had never been worn before. the leather was stiff and smooth. i bought way too many pairs of shoes this year.
vintage tooled leather shoulder bag. absolutely gorgeous. tooled leather is one of my biggest weaknesses in regards to vintage. i saw this at an antique mall, didn’t buy it, sat with that decision for two days, and immediately went back for it.
nine inch nails peel it back tour hoodie. it’s thick as fuck with graphics on the front, the sleeve, and the back. i have had it only since august and i have lived and died in it a thousand times since.
five bites.
gui chai from kalaya. might be the best bite of my life.
chashu pork buns from royal izakaya that i barely remember eating because i was high off my gourd.
black and white cookie from the famous 4th street cookie company.
pastéis de nata from joey bats right off the train on my way to go see megan.
the tres leches cake leo made for my birthday.
five abbies*.
blepharitis** abbie.
jubilant abbie.
post-show abbie.
feeling themself abbie.
madonna & child.
*last year the five abbies were reflections on what i had accomplished in 2024. this year they are selfies. yayyy.
**i went to urgent care for excruciatingly itchy eyelids. it is apparently called blepharitis. i took this picture just hours before i went to the urgent care. my eyes were swollen as FUCK.
That hoodie was my closet acquisition, you're just using it
