I haven’t had any luck finding anything I can do to possibly help this Guinea Fowl that’s stuck here in my neighborhood. It’s been here for a week.

It’s loud AF but we got used to it. The empath in me hates to see it here.. it seems incredibly lost.. it popped here out of no where and it won’t leave.
I did see it fly a few times but it’s nothing high… so I’m wondering if it escaped or did someone dump it here?
I’ve lived here for a long time and have never heard the noise it makes so it definitely doesn’t belong to anyone in this area.

I had to look up what it was - and sucks that they aren’t even native. I just want this bird to actually be safe and find a farm/bird sanctuary or something for it to go to.

If anyone has any resources please reach out. The bird is stuck in Natomas

I’ve been struggling with perimenopause and it’s the worst fucking thing ever.

So I wrote the following & created this floral piece.

Hormones & Hurricanes.

- I wake up in a body

that doesn’t feel like mine -

a quiet stranger

wearing my skin.

Some days I am soft,

some days I am fire,

and most days

I don’t know why…

Tears come without asking,

anger hums beneath my breath,

a storm with no forecast,

no warning, no rest….

I try to name it,

to hold it, to understand -

but it slips through me

like water through my hands…

They say it’s temporary,

just a passing tide,

but no one tells you

how it feels inside…

How heavy it sits,

how loud it can be,

to feel so unlike

the person you’ve always been.

Women carry SO much-

quietly, daily, deep.

It feels unfair,

this invisible weight we keep.

So I reach for petals,

for color, for light,

for something gentle

to soften the fight.

I create to remember

what joy feels like,

to bring back a smile

when everything’s dark.

And in every stem I place,

every bloom I arrange,

I remind myself -

this, too, will change.

Until then,

I keep going,

like I always do-

finding small beauty

to carry me through.

Hope you guys like my piece created out of the chaos that is my brain right now.
