@snipethesorrow.bsky.social Thought of you 😇😂

I agree that this is a problem - but one I'm happy to have 😂

The author meant 'grass.' They wrote 'fragrant night soil.'

Me, with my historical awareness of what that once meant, giggling like a child 😂

Hint: 💩

Last time we went to the pub, the (excellent) waitress whispered that they had a bet with the barstaff over who could get the best reviews from customers. I left the Glowingest Of Glowing Reviews EVER 😂❤️

Always. I love leaving positive feedback!

I really hate doing this, but when I had my breakdown last month, I took two weeks off from work, and they didn't pay me for my time off, and I am broke.

If you find it in your heart to tip even the minimum amount then I would be enternally grateful

No sudden rupture is now required for the far right to take power in this country. For what we're seeing is a steady normalisation of extremists by the Conservative and Labour Parties, BBC, Telegraph, Mail and others. A shift once considered unthinkable beings to look acceptable, even inevitable.🧵

"The realm of fairy-story is wide and deep and high and filled with many things: all manner of beasts and birds are found there; shoreless seas and stars uncounted; beauty that is an enchantment, and an ever present peril; both joy and sorrow as sharp as swords."
J.R.R. Tolkien

Dr. Jane Goodall filmed an interview with Netflix in March 2025 that she understood would only be released after her death.

Ballad of River Bones is the conclusion of epic folklore fantasy and Indie Press Award Distinguished Favourite duology, Dissonance of Bird Song, ending the critically acclaimed tale of “love, loss and sacrifice.” Cursed by ghosts of her victims and haunted by her past, Nessa searches for her lost sister. In the Myst, change is devastating. To survive, Nessa makes a pact with a mysterious druid to protect herself from the ghosts of those she has killed. As the shadows draw long over ancient Cornwall, Nessa’s path leads her to a choice: Save her sister and doom herself to death, or destroy the Myst and banish her sister to the sea.

“Fairy tales were not my escape from reality as a child; rather, they were my reality: for mine was a world in which good and evil were not abstract concepts, and like fairy-tale heroines, no magic would save me unless I had the wit and heart and courage to use it wisely”

Tired but hopeful

Fuelled by Daynurse and coffee, I'm working from the sofa today. Feels good to be doing something with what spoons I have.

Also plotting a bit of healing magic (via a lovely online herbalist) to better prepare for such symptoms over the winter 😊 #BusyDruid

Feeling so ill this evening (last remnants of cold trying for migraine). I never thought the distraction my brain wanted was the She-Hulk TV show, but for some reason it's hitting just right 😂

Also Rags snuggles 😊
