Kat / she/her / adult / in love with a river spirit

[upmala]

Hey! I’m Kat. I’m a Latvian transdisciplinary designer and artist. I live in a city and dream of escaping to rivers, forests, embracing moss and getting kidnapped by faeries or bog men.

Here you’ll find nature photos, art, the occasional sapphic longing, crafting processes and some tidbits of my life.

Themed photo tags:

#baltic summer

#baltic autumn

#baltic winter

#baltic spring

#graveyard chronicles

#sensory photography

and #my art and #my photos.

I also happen to be a critically thinking leftie queer who believes in human rights, so if you're not into that, feel free to go elsewhere.

Some original paintings are up for sale on my ko-fi, and the digital projects I’ve made are up on my itch page.

sometimes i get an intense urge to get into a 24/7 D/s relationship with some of my friends so i can force them to celebrate their achievements and journal about gratitude instead of bashing themselves for "having it too good"

settled for grabbing them by the shoulders and shaking them and hugging them tightly and jumping up and down while yelling celebratory phrases (with permission)

just rejected a semester abroad offer in Vienna

half of me is like "how dare you spit in the face od generosity and deny a gift of a good time, do you not understand what you've been given, you entitled you difficult-"

the other half is like "i applied for Stage Design and they offered me Industrial Design and i have no interest in industrial design as a field and there's too much travelling already and i won't find a normal place to live in mere 2 months and what would i even do with my job"

so obviously one of them is reasonable, but that rejection was still one hell of an email to write

Happy Pride!

[rootbeergoddess]

Every pride, you must reblog this. No exceptions

[thesaltofcarthage]

I love that four different people on my feed scheduled this joyous person to reblog by 8am on June 1. I look forward to seeing this a dozen more times today.
