I love blocking out my work calendar with events that just say "no meetings please" and not explaining why I decline invites 💌

a couple things that are really nice about limiting my social media to a couple days a week: - scrolling is less tempting when I DO get to it - not having access during work means my work… goes quicker. (surprise surprise) - the fomo persist, but lessens

am I in love with all my piercings and tattoos? yes. do I regret that they render me unable to convincingly commit to a time traveler from the past bit? also yes.

I know it's not my social media day but I just got this vintage cardigan and I'm about to make it my whole personality

do you like coming of age stories where the main character is actually in her 30s? are you a late-diagnosed autistic adult learning to unmask? do you like spells that use the word "fuck" as an incantation? buddy have i got a book for you

Seattleites shouldn't have to work this week. We should be able to stay home and snuggle in our warm cozy beds while the atmospheric river wears itself out.

just some of the deities in Moonshadow! I had a lot of fun creating the system of religion and dictating who got to control what.
Gods and their domains:

Elana: Creation, nature, rebirth
Jalgreth: Fire, the sun, male virility 
Omeliya: the moon, fortune-seeing, psychic ability, secrets and half-truths 
Merrakod: blood, control, the unknown

someone on tumblr said offhandedly that they didn't think Alecto the ninth would ever be published and I was shocked because like. That had never even occurred to me. And now I can't help but wonder.

hi welcome to the holiday shopping season. a reminder: unless your device is literally nonfunctional, you probably don't need a new one if you do genuinely need a new device, Back Market is a good place to start
