I've worked agency-side and client-side as a copywriter, strategist, and creative brainstormer for nearly ten years. Each day, I'm living and breathing web, app, social, and print copy—and trying to figure out if I can somehow involve cats in everything—as I deliver the creative punch to brands like Jive Software, Microsoft, Intel, HP, Expedia, One&Only Resorts, Inspirato, Columbia Sportswear, Carl Zeiss, Jeld-Wen, and others.

#ClimateStrike #climatestrikepdx #portland #pdx

Stayed up last night to make a quick sign for today's #ClimateStrike. Animal agriculture is responsible for more greenhouse gas emissions than all of the transportation sector combined. 😱 It's also the leading cause of: - Deforestation - Species Extinction - Ocean Dead Zones - Water Depletion What did you eat this morning? Consider making a change! Every meal, every choice, has a ripple effect. You can make a difference. ♥️🌱🌍✨🎉

I found out this morning that these sweet but scared little friends might be put to sleep. They have regressed to hiding again. It still takes 5-10 minutes to get them to warm up, every time we interact. I took them into the shelter for a vet exam and they let me know what they were thinking. I tried to advocate, to ask them to at least try splitting them up to give them each one more chance. They said they would take it into consideration. Whether that means Sugar or Friskie return to my house, I don’t know. I’ll find out more this afternoon. But they carefully explained how unhappy they must still be. That there are so few homes for cats to begin with, and the sliver of homes that would take in time-intensive scared cats—despite being so sweet and gentle—that sliver is practically non-existent. They haven't decided, but I feel defeated. What they say makes sense. Taking care of abused, damaged kitties takes the space of cats who might actually have a chance at happiness. But that so goes against all my thoughts of all lives matter--especially that they matter to them. We've created such a shitty world where animals can’t just have peace. We demand that they love us in order to be part of our human world. 😞 I also can’t believe I thought that all cats get adopted. I feel so much grief, wishing I could have given them one more calm, happy moment. It's so strange being in that space thinking I could have done more while at the same time thinking I couldn’t have done more. How maddening. How depressing. Side note—actually, the main note: Please don’t ever ever ever buy an animal from a breeder or a pet store. There are too many animals who need us and not enough places for them to have even just a sliver of peace.

Just got out of @gamechangersmovie--obviously I'm not using my veganism to its full potential. Jesus. 💪🌱 If you're an athlete, interested in performance or endurance, or concerned about your health (or just curious how these epic #plantbased athletes are even still alive), go see this new groundbreaking documentary produced by @jamescameronofficial, @jackiechan and @schwarzenegger. Now if you'll excuse me, I have some weights to lift. #GameChangers #GameChangersMovie #plantstrong

Someone needed some alone time--and he got it. It took me 2 hours to find him. I'm not exaggerating when I say I checked here 3 times. (The rest of the house is now in shambles.) I can sense his pride in this simple choice. He knew he didn't need to burrow into the couch or climb into a raincoat pocket or somehow disappear into a heat vent or learn to open a window. He just had to use the simple magic of gray fur, downcast eyes, and utter stillness. Well played, sir. Now tell me if "Lucky" is any good.
