New hate crime law is a cover for suppressing Palestine protests ⋆ The Breach

Long weekend tree break, appreciating the relative quiet and the lovely day. Thinking of all those that struggle on these holidays and hoping you're able to take time for yourself and that you treat yourself gently. Here if you need me! 🫂🧡🌳☀️

Raised a glass this evening to one that will not soon be forgotten. Bruce, it was a pleasure to have known you, to be around your passion and knowledge, and to reconnect before you said goodbye. Safe travels my friend. 🥃

While I like some of the actors in HBO's upcoming Harry Potter series, fuck all of them.

Wow wow wow wow WOW!

A very happy start to October was had by all this weekend at LITTLE GHOSTS 1st (ANNUAL!) FESTIVAL!

You all really showed up for panels, vendors, author readings, and horror short films. We can’t say how much this community means to us- may this free event speak for us.
