It’s time for a long overdue post about my dear sweet kitty!

I like to call him Dusty, but his full name is technically Termination Dust. dont ask okay! my dad is weirddd.

Okay actually, do ask! I think its kind of cool actually.

Termination Dust is what they call the first snow of the season in Alaska. Termination sounds scary and like death but it’s actually not even a blizzard usually. the frost begins to kill all the crops when the temperature drops, which is why they call it that. But I think its kind of beautiful too. like the first snow fall is personified. A gentle smothering blanket.

And- Dusty certainly eats all our crops out of the garden! So it’s fitting! Also we’re technically from Alaska- so it’s a nice connection I think.

Not to go off topic, but I kind of wish we stayed in Alaska sometimes. I know it was really hard and the sun didn’t come out for days sometimes and mom said it made her sad in the darkness all the time but I think maybe it would be easier. Simpler.

I mean if mom was going to leave us anyway, then why make us leave move all the way out here and ruin dad in the process.

Also, I love the snow so much! Maybe that’s why Im daydreaming about winter in the middle of May.

Maybe next summer Ryan and I will run away together. Get away from his shitty dad and road trip up to Alaska.
