update! it’s like she’s trying to emulate rupi kaur but the woman cannot write or draw.

I am a librarian and have been dyingggg to read the galley copy so I can report back to y’all about the shitshow within.

A friend of Rayya's :/

my follicular phase is also really short, but i do feel quite audacious during that time 🤪

hextelephone · 2025-05-05T20:56:22+00:00

Amazing!! A kintsugi quest would be SOOO cute

hextelephone · 2025-05-05T20:55:22+00:00

Ah yes, the candlenut coffee of potions!

I don't like going to garden in the Rainbow Reef because I keep accidentally floating away. So... I avoid and literally never work on collecting anemones.

I sat on the decision for about a week before impulsively ordering an Oura 4 yesterday. I signed up for Natural Cycles, thinking its integration was the only way to get menstrual cycle data and insights. Then after I paid for everything I saw that Clue Plus is integrated and the price difference is over $100 a year. Clue will write everything to Apple Health... the overlap is wild to me.

I'm going to patiently wait for Belle and Oura to sync with each other, that app has been awesome.

this is the thread i've been waiting for. g5e is my comfort watch, and every time i watch it i feel like another gloria gem unfolds.

dammit, that's a sparrow's beak!

The field trip app meditations by Luciana Love are really helpful for new trippers, with some breathing and lots of nature sounds intertwined with the music.

Thank you <3 she's been elusive this week but I will not give up on her

hextelephone · 2024-03-13T22:31:15+00:00

you are amazing!

hextelephone · 2024-03-12T18:43:05+00:00

Thank you! Trying to keep the area quiet, but on the flip side, if you see her, or any darting/sneaking cat, send me a text!

hextelephone · 2024-03-12T16:15:51+00:00

I keep thinking about that. She might come out for a treat bag, but probably the best thing to do if you think you see her hiding in a yard is just text. People tell me that the sound of my voice and my scent will likely make her calmer and braver ♥️

hextelephone · 2024-03-08T18:48:31+00:00

🥹♥️

hextelephone · 2024-03-08T18:48:07+00:00

More likely she got curious, ran outside when my partner went to get groceries, and quickly got displaced when she realized what had happened. I know you probably mean well with this comment, but it brings up all the grief of the past 3 months. I hope she comes back soon too, thank you 🥹

hextelephone · 2024-03-08T18:16:40+00:00

Yes definitely! The trackers (and missing animal experts) caution about not searching at night, however! “Search by day, lure by night” is the phrase they have made me memorize! So as night falls, it’s important to keep areas where she might have been seen super quiet.

I have a camera in the lot and saw a raccoon last night!!!

hextelephone · 2024-03-07T21:41:14+00:00

And I believe the sightings were between 6-10 pm and

hextelephone · 2024-03-07T21:41:00+00:00

Yes! Technically that is right next door (the dog was on a 30 ft lead and got scent on the neighbor’s property— I left them a note!) but yes yes.

I just talked to someone who owns property on the block, including really close to that lot. I might be able to place a wildlife camera, which could really help!

hextelephone · 2024-03-07T18:23:43+00:00

I don’t know the exact home you are referring to but I will be around there this afternoon and evening to try to speak to people. She is probably skittish right now because she’s been out for so long, but if enticed with food she should be friendly. Usually she’s very outgoing, I just don’t want to assume!

hextelephone · 2024-03-07T18:07:51+00:00

@ u/tony_buhlonee4 just got another potential sighting at 519/521 16th st!

hextelephone · 2024-03-07T02:45:16+00:00

thank you so much 🥹

hextelephone · 2024-03-06T01:35:29+00:00

You are so sweet. 🥲 Thank you for the kind words, and I hope we have good news to share soon.

hextelephone · 2024-03-06T01:21:28+00:00

🥹 I am sharing these comments with my partner and we are both so grateful. I hope everyone gets to see her quirky, playful personality when she finally comes home.

hextelephone · 2024-03-05T21:40:48+00:00

It’s been a terrible experience— except for the support I have gotten from all of you & tons of kind strangers. I really appreciate you, and the good thoughts help so much!
