This is Calvin at @merrymacsanctuary.bsky.social. He doesn't eat hay but he has lots of other animals friends who do and he'd love for you to chip in to help feed them for the winter! donorbox.org/mmfs-2025-ha...

At the end of the day, don’t we all just want to read books in a cottage during a pouring rain in front of a crackling fire whilst enjoying a plate of emotional support cinnamon rolls?

It’s kind of an embarrassing story; I was *super* high at a party and somehow I managed to push someone who was like next door but not part of the party and the police were called 🤣

That one time I spent a night in county jail.

Ohhhh I need this. I enjoy messing with the locals, as I’ve been stuck here 18 years 😆

What if we kissed under the harvest supermoon

Here’s some autumn things for you

A game called Tiddly Winks where a quarter sized chip is used on a felt mat to flip smaller chips into a target with different points in each ring.

Yeah I always had fun playing it. It’s kind of like quarters, where you’re using one game piece to flip the other pieces into a target. We had this 1981 version.

This is the part in the movie where, if he were captain of a ship, the crew should do a mutiny.

Yes we had it in my house growing up!

What’s it like not to be filled with simmering rage? I’ve forgotten

i wasn't born to work, i was born to go on adventures, browse book shops, concoct potions, cast spells and spend my days sipping coffee in my 18th century seaside castle.

I’m the cashier who sees your weirdness and talks to you about my weirdness.

A medium sized wading bird, in profile, with one leg raised to step forward, the other leg extended slightly behind. The bird is walking through shallow coastal water on a sandy beach, with a line of white foamy wave slightly blurry in the background.

Sandpiper, out for a walk. Good thinking, bird friend. I am hoping to get out for one myself later today.

Don’t forget to take care of yourself.
Don’t forget to rest.
Don’t forget to read 1,000 books.
Don’t forget to dream.
Don’t forget to let the forest sink into your bones, and become one with the mossy darkness.

This isn’t one of the episodes I go back to very often but I can’t help watching it when it shows up because Jean Simmons was so wonderful as Admiral Satie.

The scariest stories ever

I know I did a good job as a mom because my kid included me in their emergency end of the world plans.

The loneliness of the soul in its appalling self-consciousness is horrible and overpowering.

-Sylvia Plath

Remember, even on the darkest night, you can usually find a little light.
It's usually an ancient witch-light, leading lost travelers to their doom in the mossy woods, but the sentiment remains.

Whilst I concede that texting is “convenient”, I much prefer all correspondence to be in the form of a handwritten letter composed on an oak desk by candlelight with a quill dipped into a bottle of ink, enclosed in an envelope with a wax seal, and sent via raven.
