Just a historian trying to do their little crafts, read their little books, and write their little history & mythology blurbs while the world is on fire. Reposts are for my archives. Blog: tylwythtegcottage.com Ko-Fi: https://ko-fi.com/tylwythtegcottage

What if I just sold everything I own and moved into the forest to live with the fae?

It's really the spirit behind this account anyway, so I think I'm gonna give it the old college try.
I don't know how old your kids are, but can I tell you that they do notice more than they let on? We had this with a set of grandparents. They also noticed that the sibling-in-law was preferred.

They chose not to talk to those grandparents anymore once we talked to them about it.
My kids are currently listening to a Halloween mix tape my spouse put together while they play poker in costumes for candy. It's literally the most flexible holiday.
I got pumpkin flavored coffee, so now I finally feel like 'tis the season.

Happy Samhain, everyone.

The Paradox of Governance: Schrödinger’s Congress.
Teaching the kid that goth is about the music and not just the aesthetic, because they came out decked out to the nines.

You look fabulous, darling. However, I would be going against my culture if I didn't educate this.
Not sure of your setup, but do you know they make small countertop dishwashers? I found them when we were in an RV, so they probably only got better.
Oh, he's cute! He looks like he's about to scuttle across the forest floor to eat you. I dig it.

I made a similar pattern into a Cthulhu doll once.
Queen shit. My kid asked for one, and I was going to have to find it today. Lol
This is why I follow you. I need to knit both a Baphomet and a little pocket turtle now.
The kid is wearing the cat ear hat I made them like 2 or 3 years ago. It barely fits, so now I need to find yarn to make another, don't I?
Oh, I'll show it to them and see what they think! Maybe they'll go back to learning how to write their name if a pretty pen is involved.

It's so sweet that you thought of us, though. Thank you!
Tripped on the order button, because nothing helps a mental health plummet like craft books in 2 weeks.
Anyone else questioning the timeline of the East Wing bunker being dug up and this new nuclear testing thing?

Nah? OK. Cool.

BREAKING: A federal court ruled that the FDA's unnecessary restrictions on medication abortion are unlawful and must be reconsidered.

This ​decision reaffirms that our access to safe and essential medicines should be dictated by science, not politics.

Defenestrating a prince makes even more confident we're reliving the 17th century.
I hope all my plans stop changing before the end of the weekend so I can sit with them for a second and figure out how to actually make them happen.

Amazon is helping fund a $300 million build of a ballroom for the White House.

Independent bookstores are donating to food banks and organizations that help with food insecurity.

They are not the same.
The kid made pumpkin cookies with cream cheese frosting, and I gotta say: it does kinda help when staring at the wall in existential crisis mode.
My cardigan has taken me FOREVER. I absolutely get tired of looking at it. Smaller projects to break it up and do the cardigan while you watch TV or audiobook is my suggestion.
If you're not opposed to two projects at once, I say both. Your cardigan will take a bit longer than you expect, so you can work on the little things in between.
Talking my kids through a breakdown today about the way the world is going, and I have to give a hearty round of fuck everyone that made this a thing they have to worry about.
The person we got her from had her cooped in with a bunch, and it wasn't her favorite thing. Maybe someday I'll get more when I have a space that I can put her in one corner and them in another.
We only have the one, because she does not like company. She sings the Totoro song with us. Lol
