On the market day, the witch stopped by all the stalls. "Have a care," he told the tinsmith. "You're getting fuzzy." "What?" "Do you ponder other paths you could have taken?" "All the time." "Shadows of other yous hang on you, making you indistinct. Don't lose the you you are. You're real."

I managed to mostly not know any of this until today. This detail is new to me. The horror coursing through my body feels like poison. My God, men. Decide RIGHT FUCKING NOW what you'll do if a woman is sexually harassed or assaulted in your vicinity. Ask another man to do the same. TALK ABOUT IT.

If you are regularly dreaming with deep longing of a life unlike your own and it feels like there's a big scary decision between here and there, ask yourself if you really want to make yourself wait until you hit rock bottom to trust yourself to navigate that decision rather than default on it

Before the annual bonfire was lit, the witch checked it. Five fieldmice and one hedgehog were gently evacuated. Then there were the toxic things. Someone's hatred. Another's regrets. And pain. It was good they were discarded, but if you breathed the smoke... She drew them out, for safe disposal.

Similarly, if someone says "hey this thing you did hurt" and your response is to spiral into vocal self-flaggelation and self-hate, it also makes an unsafe environment for them to share normal thoughts and concerns that should be safe to share in a relationship

One very haunted library!
A small library in a 5x5 wooden frame with colorful polymer clay books (some with rhinestones on their spines), a ghost, a purpleish stone, and a little polymer clay plant.  The library and shelves are a deep purple, there are stars and sparkles decorating the edge of it.

I think another lesson to take from the loss of both Dolly and Tim Curry is that neither of them took themselves seriously but they took the work dead serious that's the most important thing pour all of yourself into the craft but have fun and don't get an ego.

If Dolly was our constant reminder that it was Good to be Good, Tim Curry was our reminder that it was Good to be Weird. Embrace your strangeness, sing with Muppets, wear your lingerie with a leather jacket, and fuck with uptight people who hate anything that makes them remotely uncomfortable.

People, young and old, came to the witch for directions. "I seek adventure." "I seek wisdom." "I need a place to feel at home." "I feel like I need to cry, but I can't." The witch listened, and told all where to find what they sought. And the local library thrived. #CrossRepost
