There’s something so captivating about you. Your endless detail, your large sheathing leaves, your shallow roots; I’m afraid I’ll never get over you. Artist: Sam Scales | @samscales

The Whitney ——> The Brooklyn Museum and some things in between.

When you love your home, you feel a sense of ease. Sit back, breathe, and relax.

Moments in February :)

I'm going against my own house rule of no shoes in the house. Go ahead and judge me. 😜

On Sunday, February 11th, local activists gathered in Soho to unite and spread our message. We firmly believe that animals should not suffer for the sake of fashion collections. The killing and torturing of countless animals is a direct result of the refusal of designers such as Marc Jacobs, Mackage, Woolrich, and Louis Vuitton to adopt a fur-free policy. We are determined to continue our efforts until they make the compassionate choice to stop. We firmly believe that there is never an excuse for animal abuse. Period.

New York will always be New York. 🗽 It's known to be loud, busy, fast-paced, bold, and somewhere you are always hustling. It can be challenging to wind down and take a moment for yourself. I often remember why I am here while looking through my camera reel. Like many of us, I am addicted to my phone at times. I try to keep it tucked away while outside just to be present. But I also love to capture the beautiful moments so that I can cherish them down the road. And here are some of those moments I can share with you because I did catch them. Photos by @byjoshjames

Moments of beauty. Captured 11/26/2022

Today, 09/02/23, the vegan community came together to be a voice for the voiceless through this year's Animal Liberation March. We were standing up for the endless amounts of violence, negligence, and destruction occurring through the killing and captivity of animals. Their bodies -not ours Their babies - not ours Their eggs - not ours Their milk - not ours Their lives - not ours We want justice - for the animals We want freedom - for the animals There's no excuse for animal abuse.

“Lifes not about expecting, hoping and wishing. It's about doing, being and becoming. It's about the choices you've just made, and the ones you're about to make. It's about the things you choose to say - today. It's about what you're gonna do after you finish reading this.” -Mike Dooley
