1. Where lies the strangling fruit 2. that came from the hand of the sinner 3. I shall bring forth the seeds of the dead 4. to share with the worms that gather in the darkness 5. and surround the world with the power of their lives

you know what this mars sd cannot take from me, going to see a ballet with my mom and her goddaughter bc the goddaughter's daughter is a senior dancer in the company and having a delightful time and then going to a korean bbq place that used to be in a jim's with them afterwards

true ravelry experience is browsing sweater patterns and searching for "scoop neck" and then spending the majority of your time screeching, "THAT IS A FUCKING CREW NECK, DON'T TRY ME!!!!!"

today I am underwater. today is underwater looking up at the sun wavering through the water's surface, a translucent aquarine filter that shifts and shimmers and feels like you're ten years old at the community pool, but quieter. today is knowing you cannot reach others under the sea, contentedly.

mayhap I need to go back into the chrysalis and cook for a little bit longer. then I can finish up literally anything and actually bring something to the table in witch/occult spheres instead of just relying on being "woman who read agamemnon too many times as a teenager"

this is my last winter transitioning to spring in this land, and so of course it is accompanied by grief over losing a loved one. I watch the migratory birds, and hear the rattle of the huisache branches as I sit in the chill short grass. the live oaks are green but cold. I will miss even them.

I feel a bit guilty recommending books to my friends because inevitably when they ask for Dominique's Five ⭐️ Book List, I have to preface it by saying, "And real quick I did include content warnings!" I look Very Soft and read the most fucked up shit

quietly frothing at the mouth in my bed of gloom

Feel this now: our imaginations stretching boldly ahead of us, creating the path and illuminating it with ideas every step of the way. This is how we begin to form power; each life a thread, each thread woven just so to build a wonder. We are invited to order our yarn for the project. #tarotsky

animism spotted in white as snow!!! tanith lee you were a genius and I'm so glad I'm rereading this book at this moment

oh my god the ravens are back nobody else in my life die please

I am having a lot of stress and grief feelings so it is time to cry them out while tending to myself and then, when I feel ready to stop for now, rewatch lisa frankenstein while putting the finishing touches on some baby clothes

"the chicano movement" is when I get out of bed

As the government devolves into chaos, it’s important for us all to remember that we’re just trying to survive. And sometimes the right thing isn’t the legal thing. An example: You see someone stealing baby formula? No you didn’t. Don’t tell anyone, don’t alert security.

can the ravens please stop showing up at my place whenever there is devastating news. I am starting to suspect they are delivering it and it makes me antsy

happy presidents day

Happy snake year 🐍

the worst part of desiring to be Seen is that I have to actually Do and Be Present, and my entire body is like what if we just flop and take twenty naps instead

UPDATE: LIL BABY IS SAFE!! helped a neighbor who works for a rescue to catch her and she's going to get spayed and see if she can be socialized to people and then adopted 🥰

spent my evening trying to keep a huge ginger tom from knocking up a tiny lil black and white cat barely out of kittenhood (if that) 🥲 the tom allegedly has an owner, but he's intact and they just let him out constantly. the little cat is so tiny 🥲🥲

We won’t be erased. We can’t be erased. We’ve proven that time and time again. The first Pride was a riot for a reason. (This is the Tower from my deck The Gay Marseille Tarot.)

once again if you call them "the game of thrones books" I immediately cannot take anything you say seriously and everything you say turns to ocean noises in my head. and deservedly so imo

Here are some nice mushrooms

there is no lgb without the t and anyone who says that there is, is untrustworthy. all the more so because they're willing to erase our history for their own ends.

twitter just removed this design + locked my account for the next 12 hours

wore @lvneaperfume.bsky.social hemlock shade for the first time today and waow waow I'm living in this for as long as I can. I've never worn a perfume that I felt so comfortably alive in before 🌲 truly I smell like I've been curled in a coniferous hollow for hours, my ultimate goal
