NOT JUST THIS:

Two other Democratic lawmakers in North Carolina who sided with the GOP to overturn vetoes of major bills (e.g. anti-trans legislation) are also losing in their primaries so far to progressive challengers.

This could be a major night in NC.

Truly. Just a little fluff muffin.

Nope. Not gonna stop sharing pictures of my baby gremlin any time soon.

I’m contemplating croissant because I like to punish myself with high difficulty baking goods

*way stronger than the first

lol stronger than the second

Finished Bridgerton S4. I thought the first half was way stronger than the first. Chemistry was a bit meh. Benedict’s wardrobe is still my favorite.

They smell so good.

Oh no now I need

Two loaves of sourdough bread with lines around them, and bursting crusts

Stress level: at least two loaves.

I adore it

Home Goods came in clutch today

Sconces! With green men on them :)

A green painted stairway with hanging paintings in various shapes, and some sconces for good measure

It’s been a while since I made any witch tower updates, but I finally got around to hanging some art in the stairway! I also organized my bookshelf, or started to. I have, uh, a lot of Arthuriana books.

Had to keep myself busy today. It’s all so much.

If people tell you “oh, he’s harmless” he is not.

I am going to link to organizations that I know for sure are helping trans Kansans. This thread will develop slowly as I either know people or will vet them.

At this point we have not heard from anyone being helped via relocation resources. These exist, but I assume they are overwhelmed.

bluesky clippy: hey there! you seem to be mad at something but not the person you’re yelling at. would you like some help self-regulating?

"The Islamists oppose women getting an education," I mutter, as I aim my missile at the girls school

Appreciate the understanding of what I meant.

What a nightmare.

What a fucking continual nightmare.

It’s pretty wild.

Isn’t it though?

Since I mentioned Arthuriads, you should check out @natania.bsky.social's "Queen of" trilogy!

I have written a time or two about the wrenching pain that a lot of my circle of friends felt when the revelations about Marion Zimmer Bradley came out...

You are truly so delightful.

Hey, everyone. The third instalment of @natania.bsky.social’s Netherford Hall trilogy is out on June! Can confirm the first two volumes were everything I could have hoped for from fantasy/horror. Witches, werewolves, vampires, queer sensibility, and tons of intrigue. Get reading, everyone!

:(

Oh stunning!!

Oh but she’s amazing!!

Vibrant purple irises low to the ground

I bet you need some flowers today. Here’s a pink camellia and some ground irises.

Breathe in. Breathe out.
