A frosty start today ❄️

A dark night field scene illuminated solely by the light of a bright star in a gap in an overcast sky. The clouds are lit from behind. In the centre of the frame is a tall humanoid figure with the head of a crow and two arms. It holds a shepherd's crook in one hand. Surrounding it are many sheep with black faces and light wool grazing on long grass. Behind this field are distant trees, and a tall hill with a tower on its peak.

I tend to wear baggy clothes recently but this dress had me feeling things

My brain is bouncing around my skull like a ping pong ball

I've never liked my birthday but this year is particularly sad

As you get older birthdays get less and less important to the people around you

I mostly live in sports crop type bras anyway so it’s always weird to me when I actually wear a bra designed for aesthetic not practicality 😂

I never wear underwired bras anymore so when I do I’m like oh hello 👀

My word of the day (and personal recommendation) is ‘snerdling’ (18th century): nestling cosily beneath the covers and holding off the day a little longer.

Morning.

He will forcibly run up my chest and plant himself on my collarbone butt first and then capture my hand with his tiny paw. My heart. It cannot cope
