Hey, so, if I stop posting on Bluesky for a while (until who knows when), it's because I'd rather not hand over my SSN, ID, or credit card information to stay on a social media platform. 👉👉

I've been so busy with everything, I'm so stoked to start roadtripping. Your girl needs fresh air and to be surrounded by lots of big trees for a bit. 😮‍💨

You know you've got a house of fencers when both of you are like "can we fit a strip in the yard?"

A friend said I remind her of Miss Langtree from Over the Garden Wall whenever I put my hair up in a high bun, which, yeah.

Using your bindweed covered patio chairs to take photos the dress you made embroidered with native wildflowers. ✅️

I seldom bring up the whole being titled nobility thing, but seeing the sparkle in a little one's eyes when they find out they're holding a "princess's" sword is 100% worth it.

Have this year's "omg, the Scarborough Renaissance Festival vegetable patch" photo.

My bf got me a 70s Kenmore sewing machine he found at the thrift store, and the way I talk about this baby like a project car.

"Here's to Camilla Hect, yet another of devotion's casualties." 💀 #thelockedtomb 💀

Jen dressed as a renfaire inspired Camilla Hect from The Locked Tomb, with a white poet shirt, grey gambeson, and black breeches, tights, boots, and belt accessories. She's standing at the end of a set of stone stairs in a wooded area, holding a wooden sword in the pouring rain as she looks off into the distance.

Just a gal in her natural habitat. (Day one of the last weekend of Scarby is in the books! Onward to tomorrow!)

Mending my shirt for renfaire Cam, and I'm so excited to restore her to that full bishop-sleeved glory.

My bf's cat got frustrated she couldn't reach any of the birds on tv, so she left the room, grabbed one of her toys, and came back very adamant that I play fetch with her. 💀

Renfair Camilla Hect throwback because we're officially a week away from travelling to Scarby! 🥹 (Bringing both Cam and my Renaissance naiad along.)

It's fun to see how growing up over 9000 miles away from a place can give you such a different perspective on things.

Bf and I devised a system for watching movies because decision paralysis, but we're also yappers who keep mentioning movies and not ending up watching them. Honestly, pretty solid. 1/2

Love how the great outdoors can really inspire the arts; like the songs you create when you know there's a large animal on the small trail you're hiking and you don't want to startle it.

Spent the last few days two-stepping in an old dance hall, eating good food with good company, listening to impromptu jam sessions, and exploring a canyon and sleeping under the stars with my beloved. Pretty solid weekend, very much needed.

My friend told me the song Love Grows (Where My Rosemary Goes) is very me, and as someone who has listened to it on repeat, I'm positively delighted.

A belated Kartini Day post! While wearing kebayas and putting on fashion shows is all fine and dandy, it's important to remember what the holiday celebrates (women's emancipation and right to education) and how there's still so much work to do.

Highly recommend finding a partner who also sword fights with you (and doesn't take it easy) on the regular, 10/10.

Sometimes you're setting up a planetarium on a time crunch, glasses askew, like you're an eccentric academic in a scifi with the fate of humanity resting on your shoulders.

Still thinking about that one toddler at storytime yesterday who kept saying "THE MOON" with so much joy and wonder every time it appeared on the page. (We were reading If You Decide to Go to the Moon by Faith McNulty.)

My bf and I were talking about doing Locked Tomb cosplays together for a con, and I can't decide if I want to bring a "because you know me so well, sweetling" or a "thank you awfully, Master Warden" energy to his Palamedes.

Spring Break rush really getting to me, 'cause why was I staring at this goose trying to figure out how its legs were so long?

A goose standing in shallow water, its legs reflected making them look longer.

Cat sitting while my bf is away, and I'm glad I get to cuddle them after a long day during one of the busiest weeks of the year. 😮‍💨 Sweet babies.

Wow, if I had a nickle for every time I got a barely detectable touch on a person's pinky knuckle during class yesterday, I'd have 2 nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's pretty great that it happened twice.
