Just another 30+ tired cosplayer and cat parent. Central/South Texas based, mostly chatter about whatever I feel like in the moment on here. Bi & nonbinary. They/she

Oh hi there, you've found Rowan of Firespun Alchemy, a TX cosplayer! My spouse assists, & is learning.
I've been cosplaying consistently since 2015, though I gave it a try back in the 00s. Props are my favorite, but I'm learning to appreciate wigs & sewing. #cosplay

In Morrow County, healthy adults were coming down with unexplained medical conditions, including diseases that usually afflicted the elderly.
In a survey of 30 homes, at least 25 miscarriages and a half dozen people living with one kidney were reported.

Wanted to be a professor as a kid, found out in college that's a real tough field these days (BA eng). Considered psych (minored), considered academic libraries (MA lit + MLIS).
Worked in a uni library & a public library during those degrees, liked public better + the real shock, working w/teens.

Coworker: omg that door sounds like a sword being drawn or sheathed when it's being opened or closed!
Me:
In my head: sounds nothing like a sword, the pitch and metallic noises are different. Swords don't sound like that.
Out loud: sounds like a haunted house door to me, y'know like Scooby Doo
