Behind the scenes photo of Thomas the woodcarver ~ a talented Gullah artist working on his craft (made entirely by hand from found materials). Also a kind & generous man who randomly bestowed a perfectly timed, meaningful gift to someone he'd just met. #EverydayHeroes #EverydayMagic

Happy (or dreary decaying grandeur, if that's more to your liking) #WorldGothDay πŸ¦‡

Down in the Lowcountry today & at a roadside stand, met this impeccable rabbit carved by a local Gullah artist.

πŸ’™ Let those you cherish know how much they mean to you. βš–οΈ You don't control others' reactions, but you can control yours. πŸ•―οΈ A candle loses no light in lighting another candle. πŸ—οΈ Be trustworthy. 🐿️ Show nature some kindness. πŸƒ Breathe. πŸˆπŸ•πŸΏπŸ’ƒπŸ›ŒπŸŒ’ You're never too old for a pyjama party!

anyway good night

Had such fun surprising a friend with a birthday cake today (simple as I thought we might be enjoying it at a park), then learned it was the first one she'd had since childhood. πŸ’• It's a "burgundy" velvet cake (I added butterfly pea powder to deepen the tone), flavoured with clove & lavender sugar.

The world needs more of this and less of most other things

Welp, that's my day sorted.

Yes. And frankly, I am utterly exhausted with these gremlins who expect everything to turn endless profits.

Owlet update: Still not quite ready to fly, but they're getting -so- close. Maybe tonight? And you can just tell how impossibly soft those feathers are ~ we're talking off-the-charts levels of floof! πŸ¦‰ #birdsky

"Humans who've made your life better recently!" @alwayscoffee.bsky.social for her sheer radiance & speaking my language. (+we have exciting news to share soon! πŸ’) @tanyabjork.bsky.social for cake & possums. πŸ’ž Lisa (non-BlueSky) for the soft landing + giving me an acorn when I gave her a mushroom.

Lilies after the hail storm. A vision of floral defiance & a testament to never count yourself out even when, maybe especially when, the odds are stacked against you. #FlowerReport #Bloomscrolling

I don't use generative AI because as a writer of fiction, it offers me nothing useful creatively and nothing trustworthy when I do research. It's not worth the environmental impact. That it's been created by stealing my work and using it in breach of copyright law is a further but separate issue.

A lovely way to add some good to the world? Join the "Prickle Posse" & send a virtual gift to help these precious wild #hedgehogs fighting infections/parasites, healing wounds from traps & attacks, or about to give birth & in need of extra care. Prickles & Paws "hogspital" does truly excellent work:

Since we are talking about suiting and Black history, I'll just leave this picture of my aunt here she is on the end on the left side of the photo with the pointed toe. And she made that suit.

Before you start typing about how there are more important things: the Met Gala funds the costume collection of the Met. Textile preservation/restoration is important work that needs funding - you may not think of it as such but textiles are an important part of history that often goes unpreserved

Jodie Turner-Smith attends the #MetGala2025

From last evening's walk: gazing upwards at owlet as owlet gazes downwards to me. #birdsky

Thank you gorgeously vibrant male cardinal that perched outside the window just now. I needed that. Nature has its own daily struggles and concerns (& joys!), but there's a true comfort in knowing there's a lot of human-centric things they ~don't~ know too.

Thanks! Yes, the actual Kambriel site is: www.kambriel.com ~ it's recently been revamped with lots of archival bits too! I'm in the midst of a move so the selection's smaller right now, but as things get settled/unpacked some special pieces will be going up. I'll update here when they're added. πŸ’œ

Hey look, someone seems to think using the name of a gothic designer (w/a trademark for Kambriel clothing & accessories) for their gothic merch was a good idea... again. For the record, they do NOT have my permission or approval to use my name for their products & these are -not- Kambriel designs.
