Inklings

laying in the dark, cocooned in a toasty blanket, listening to the autumnal rain bouncing off of the window.

I am so cosy, it's utterly obscene.

Diagram showing four major spiderweb types: orb with radial spokes, funnel with a tube retreat, sheet with dense nonsticky silk, and tangle with irregular 3D sticky threads.

So you know EXACTLY what you just walked into.

I did a thing! Go read (and listen) to it!

on an origami kick this weekend. forgot just how much joy I get from folding paper in to pretty things x

*small boop* I hope the journey back to your baseline is kind.

Something that made me smile - embracing the autumn and all of its beauty. also, apple harvest! and all the yummies I will make with said apples 😊. i adore the apple cinnamon baking season!

this is cosy jumper and campfire weather. i get lost in the magic and sensation of snuggling around a fire with people, keeping the chill in the air at bay with flames, hot drinks, and plenty of laughter.

my doggo just stared at me, burpled in my face, then covered me with kisses.

don't mind me, I'm just cooing and baby talking to bugs 🥹

spring/summer night air is so gorgeously peaceful and healing.

An illustration of two people kissing. They are nude and you can see that both of them are transgender. They are surrounded by ornate flowers and columns with transgender flags on top.

A closeup of the previous illustration with the words “trans rights always were and always will be human rights” in the center

Be true. Stay safe. Happy Pride 🏳️‍⚧️🌸💖

awww lookit the fuzzbum snuggle the soft petal pillows!

books strewn all over a bed. unseen titles are Wild Embers and Your Soul Is A River, both by Nikita Gill. titles that can be seen are Consumed by David Cronenberg, Spiritus Mundi by multiple authors, and in the foreground is an open copy of The Lamb by Lucy Rose.

literally always reading half a dozen books at once. atm i am flitting between David Cronenberg, @nikitagill.bsky.social, and @lucyrosecreates.bsky.social, and i am loving every word. highly recommend all books seen (details in alt text!)

such a glorious way to spend a lazy sunny afternoon!

I'm adding my own dog ears to the collection. how many hands have done the same, losing and finding themselves in these pages? who else has trailed their fingers over these words, gasped at the resonation deep in their chest, and folded the top corner, full of transcendent gratitude?

many, I hope x

the many dogeared pages of a well read book

found a much loved book of poetry - I am in love with all the dog eared pages, favourite poems marked by a prior owner

a bunch of pink asters in full bloom looking like bright pink pompom puffballs against lush dark green foliage.

got distracted by gorgeous flowers while out and about

husband: there appears to be a haunted talisman in the plants. is it misplaced?

me: nope. it's right where it needs to be 😊

Quote your tarot:

the high priestess is my card. duality and balance walking among two worlds, using intuition to traverse realms. this card is unity, mystery, and stepping in to the unknown.

depicted here in the Wild Unknown deck by Kim Krans.

Fuck terfs, fuck Harry Potter, and fuck bigoted shitstains who continue to prove what shitstains they are.

Trans rights are civil rights are human rights and if you have a problem with that fuck off forever.

quote with your favourite villian.

(I fiend for fiends)

Puss Moth to light in the North Hampshire garden last night. #TeamMoth

thank you so much! 😊

a lush and overgrown garden full of wildflowers. bluebells can be seen in all stages of bloom, some of which are a white variety. violets are dotted near the ground, peeking amongst the greenery. on the very left edge of the frame, the beautiful yellow blooms of dandelions can just about be seen. in the foreground, there is a round slate with a pentagram etched upon it.

I burrow myself in to my garden, my postage stamp oasis of wilding.

a hand viewed from the side against a grey background, fingers slightly splayed. the tips of the fingers are stained berry reds and purples with inks.

throwing words through ink once again. a messy birth on a stained parchment bed, the glorious perfection of imperfections.

ink stained fingertips make me absolutely giddy.

gently gathering my maxi skirt in my hand to go up stairs instantly turns me in to a gothic heroine climbing a tower. "a most noble ruin, of immense size and full of beautiful and romantic bits."
