Hank & Townes’s Mom @katehascats.bsky.social · 03/10/2026When I think about the first people who walked through this forest, more than 15,000 years ago, I wonder if they felt peace? Or if the sound of falling trees became monsters for myths. 020

Hank & Townes’s Mom @katehascats.bsky.social · 28/09/2026The AI “biography” of Kaleb some ghoul listed on Amazon less than a week after he died was very painful and disturbing. Someone said he’d think it was funny. No, he wouldn’t, and also, he’s dead, *I* don’t think it’s funny and I want to inflict physical pain on the person who did it. 060

Hank & Townes’s Mom @katehascats.bsky.social · 26/09/2026I think focusing too much on gratitude can be toxic. Allowing yourself to sit and feel your suffering is how you accept the pain and loss. I have done plenty of that, and will continue to do so. However, I am deeply grateful to be with Kaleb’s family this week. 120
