Finished watching GBBO today, sobbed a bit (as usual), and have moved on to Frankenstein. The emotional roller coaster is Real.

Full moon bright and high, strong winds sweeping through carrying rain and cold air... feels like a night for the beginning of new things.

Also, THERE'S NOTHING WRONG WITH BEING A WITCH. I practice witchcraft lowkey, and it's one of the most lovely and wholesome things about me 🧙‍♀️💜

I read a huge biography about her, did great on my project, and have since forgotten everything but the vibes. She still holds a special place in my heart, so hearing her slandered that way really shocked and hurt me.

I went to a Catholic school when I was young and we had to write a biography of a saint. I chose Joan of Arc because she was Cool and Interesting and Awesome, unlike all the other saints.

Shattered my french press the other day and took the opportunity to order a new coffee maker. It just arrived and I am sooooo excited to use it for the first time! ☕️

Random science question of the day:
-- When we blow a candle out, are we technically *smothering* it? (My theory is: the exhale forces oxygen away from the fire and substitutes carbon dioxide, thus depriving the fire of fuel and causing it to go out.)

Maybe my real problem is that I've never reblogged any of those "lucky" posts on tumblr

Debating buying a witchy advent calendar. For me, winter is the season for witchy things and saying spells and trying to conjure something bright and new. (Also, advent calendars are fun.)

Whoever nominated "19th Century American Pottery RPF" for Yuletide deserves a medal. I know nothing about this topic but they are an Icon and a Genuis and I hope they get everything they wish for in life.

On meds: almost physically incapable of writing
Off meds: too sad and depleted by life to write

So what's the solution here, friends???
