Okay cool, then I’ll come visit yours!!😎

If they ever decide to get rid of them I will chain myself to one in protest!!

Nothing like some mild frostbite & walking out amongst the elements to remind you that you’re not only alive, you’re alive & MAGICALLY FROZEN.
(No Disney references, though. Elsa can bite me.)

I always suspect there is something magical going on in these little houses. One day I’ll catch them in the act (the faeries, etc.), but today? When in doubt, walk it out.

this from @xoxogossipgita.bsky.social is really lovely. Something I've been thinking about a lot lately as a child of the Walkman era, is how all the portable music tech I have witnessed in my life is having a resurgence with new context and meaning for new generations.

Friend: You always carry the biggest purses I’ve ever seen.

Me: Yeah, it’s terrible for my back and shoulders but good for foraging.

I had to wear my puffy jacket today and I was mighty displeased.

Said like an exemplary father😌

Hugo is also going to be super into poop humour when he gets older. I saw the future and it’s all your fault.

Look, men are mostly shit, but every so often (read: once in your lifetime, maybe twice) you might find one perfectly suited for you and hell yeah, he's going to film me crawling into an oven.

She went full Sylvia Plath into that oven while her alligator tour guide husband filmed it. If you don't get why I love this, methinks we've never met. Not even once.

This is my baseline, but yes. Yes I will.

Windows do look magical when they’re covered in ice❄️

Raising my eyebrow is my love language.

Hold on, there is more!! Diagrams are being drawn!!
(I’d share but he put my last name in there and a girl must retain an air of mystery, you see.)

I love having neurodivergent friends. Who else has the balls to make this observation, but is also smart enough to know the exact source material which roasts AND compliments me at the same time!?

Listening to the soundtrack while I roast up an edamame bowl for dinner. I feel like this occasion calls for a cape.
(But really, what occasion doesn't?😏)

I haven't seen "Wuthering Heights" yet (that book + Emerald Fennell is a must) but I'm into the soundtrack. Charli isn't usually my thing, but she really did something magical here. Plus, that track with John Cale?!? 5 evil ravens out of 5.

sometimes, if you’re up early enough, you can hear them turn the birds on

Holy crap, it really does!!
🙃

When you have a very lovely crafternoon AND find a bag labelled with all of your favourite things:

Let it be known that my inner circle sends top-tier texts. Your galentine is in the mail!!
@stephgraves.bsky.social

Gentlemen, Valentine's Day is tomorrow, so please be mindful of whether your lady prefers gold or silver. If she only uses silver and you buy her a gold amulet, she'll be forced to recalibrate all her alchemetrics before she can harness its arcane power

I’ll just leave this here. Whoever finds it and acts on it? 😏💕🌙

Go back to your old cds. They will tell you all you need to know.

I’m immensely enjoying my 40s because I still get to be exactly who I was back then, only smarter, and I refuse to drive a car that doesn’t have a cd player in it.

Much like Kat Stratford in “10 Things I Hate About You”, I also own a lot of black underwear and angry girl music of the indie rock persuasion. While my heart is generally rooted in “slower and sadder”, my teenage self said otherwise.

GOTHIC #VALENTINES Mary Shelley is rumoured to have kept Percy Shelley's heart in a silken shroud, carrying it with her for years (his remains were in Rome). After she died the heart was found in her desk wrapped in his poems. It's hard to out goth that!
🎨Embalmed hearts

Convinced I am gainfully employed because I make top tier Valentine’s Day punch every year.

America, you need to get your shit together because I HAVE TO GO TO DENVER.
(With Sunny Day Real Estate and the Get Up Kids?!?!?! 😮)

This is a perfect 90s alt-girl throwback. Obsessed. Immediately putting this on my “when I was 16 I was internally very bad ass and externally very not” playlist.
