Former epidemiologist, writer, gamer, knitter and obsessed with my dog. Lots of TTRPGs. I like to make people sad over fictional characters for fun. 41, lesbian/kinky, disastrous, she/her.

A hand lettered and inked piece with words from the song "Take Me To Church" by Hozier. It reads "No masters or kings when the ritual begins. There is no sweeter innocence than our gentle sin. In the madness and soil of that sad earthly scene, only then I am human, only then I am clean." It is overlaid over three stained glass windows, the two on the sides match and are all in grayscale with a grid pattern. The center has a more organic form, and grays are replaced in some panes with red and pink. It shows two female symbols overlapping and there are some hearts in the upper panes.

A Discord message that reads: I don't know if you've heard of junk journaling, it's gotten big lately. I've been sort of tangentially aware of it for a long time but the initial idea was a lot of using literal junk in artistic ways. Old receipts, book pages that had fallen out, stuff like that. And I think what I'm seeing is that now you can buy junk. Like ... Brand newly created things that look like old movie tickets or old postcards or whatever and I'm like ... Isn't that kind of counter to the entire point? Also, Mormons have taken that shit over. Which honestly does kind of explain the forgery to make old looking new things for profit, now that I think about it.

A text conversation with my parents: Me: Patricia Routledge who played Hyacinth in Keeping Up Appearances just died. She was 96 years old! Dad: That's amazing. I hope they have royal Dalton china with hand painted periwinkles in heaven. I also hope she gets a house with a pony and poor Dickie gets some peace. Me: Emmett will finally be able to leave his home without having a panic attack. Dad: I forgot about Emmett. Poor soul. Mom: Poor Sheridan. He'll miss his mummy. They had a psychic bond. Of course, now he can make curtains in peace.
