Sending very happy birthday wishes to @larawlsntown today. While a lot of aspects about desert life fall into place quickly, making good friends who make a place feel like a home takes some time. I’m lucky to have met this one early on and to have such a smart, fun and inspiring person in my life — not just a desert friend, but a lifer ❤️

Happy Monday from @gnomeinthedesert

This is one of my favorite pieces from @coco.hall’s show at @unpavedgallery. There’s definitely a crossover of themes we both seem to be interested in and it’s so nice to see her turn these dicey objects into something so plush and fluffy even your toddler could grab a ciggie and a bottle of pills and be no worse off because of it. I was so excited to see her work and am glad I did... just wish I showed up earlier so I could cop a slice of moldy bread. You should definitely make the time to see this fun show.

Thinking lots and lots about the sale of property in this tiny desert town. Joshua Tree is working on new short term rental regulations and some people aren’t thrilled about the county formalizing these for this little slice of desert. People bet their futures and livelihoods on starting up their own Airbnb business. The threat of that not being a possibility for some is scary. Meanwhile, I often look back at the story about Amboy being bought on eBay (kinda) for a million dollars by a chicken magnate. That town is only 40 miles away from Joshua Tree. #realestate

I’ve been bad at taking photos lately - trying to keep my phone out of my hands as much as possible when I’m in social settings. But here’s a pic of @nateabbott’s glowing mane under the moon celebrating @cosmic.american’s birthday yesterday. Thank you for getting us out to the park, Geneva. It’s a good reminder to take advantage of the beauty our little town has to offer, even if the views from our backyards are just as nice.

Happy birthday @i_m_kathy! Thank you for the good hair genes and also a lifetime of love and support 💕 I hope you have a wonderful day!
