Burping Banshee (FartWitch derivative) @burpingbanshee.bsky.social · 18hGlad I grew up with dogs where respect wasn’t optional. Like they were all well trained and total softies but they couldn’t be afterthoughts or accessories. Adults had to set the example. (People watching while nephew watching at the playground thoughts.) 020

Burping Banshee (FartWitch derivative) @burpingbanshee.bsky.social · 11/10/2026Turns out a child/YA author who had some SF type books I really liked as a teen wrote some surprisingly steamy lesbian crime books under a psuedonym (Claire McNab). They’re solid but part of me is that child that is absolutely disgusted finding out adults have sex reaction. Bit whups. 100
Burping Banshee (FartWitch derivative) @burpingbanshee.bsky.social · 09/10/2026Tried something new for the crispy oven tofu. It's tasty and working well but goddamn its taking like an extra 20minutes in the oven (extra moisture I guess?) and I am not a fan of that. 100
Burping Banshee (FartWitch derivative) @burpingbanshee.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Having a heart attack because nephew made it sound like my mum had him watching all of One Piece while she had him. The live action is MA15+ and he is five! I couldn’t figure out where mum would have gotten hold of the kids cut of the anime. Eventually established he meant the Lego version. 120
Burping Banshee (FartWitch derivative) @burpingbanshee.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Book club book this month is by a guy that was the script writer for what is probably my least favourite movie.
